He saved my career

I was charged with a DUI and talked to a bunch of lawyers. I ended up hiring a lawyer that my friend used ....but he was guilty. It seemed like that attorney didn't really know what was going on in my case or was nervous or something. As we were running out of time, I decided to do my own research... and see if I could get a second attorney to help. That is when I met Mr. Silva. Mr. Silva said I had a tough road ahead and it was probably not going to end well, but that he would do his best to win. I just needed someone to fight to save me from the DuI. I done wrong but I was going to lose my entire career (15 years) if I didn't win. Basically, I thought I was ok to drive and then I found out I wasn't because I got into a car accident and the officer made me blow. Mr. Silva told me to take responsibility for the ticket and he would handle the DUI. After he was done, the judge threw out the case! I will tell everyone about Mr. Silva.

Client

I was charged with a very serious crime which required a mandatory prison sentence. After speaking with other attorneys things seemed hopeless. I didn't just want an attorney to take my case but I wanted a attorney who would fight for my freedom as if it was theirs. After accidentally speaking with M...r. Silva I was sure he was the one. He made no promises other than he would give his best. After numerous court dates even a lengthy trial. I can say it was the best decision I ever made, or I wouldn't be writing this review. He's the best

Best Lawyer Ever!!

From the first time we met with him to the last phone call today when case was resolved, we knew we were in good hands! We keep thanking our lucky stars that we found him and that he turned out to be so incredible. He was knowledgeable and skilled beyond our expectations, thorough, organized, patient..., intelligent, compassionate and brought to the table his years of experience that enabled us to make solid decisions as we went along. Judging from our "better than expected" outcome today we would, hands down, recommend Matt Silva for any legal needs, especially ones that carry the potential for charges resulting in severe penalties or jail. He is extremely well versed with the way the courts and prosecutors office works and that proved to be invaluable. We can't thank him enough...worth every penny spent!

Thank you for picking us!

The Man, The Myth, The Silva

Mathew Vernon Silva is by far the best attorney to ever have on this planet. The man takes care of you. Makes sure you are understanding of the actions he is going to take before, during, and after everything is all said and done with. He is extremely professional. My experience with Mr. Silva as my... legal representative was outstanding. He broke down everything to me that I could understand. When we took trial he had me well prepared to everything the D.A. was going to try to use against me. We won the case and I busted out into tears. The man single handedly helped me salvage my life back into control and made sure my military career was saved with a honorable discharge. I EXTREMELY recommend his legal representation for DWI's and any other legal issues. He's a go getter and takes your matters very seriously and is flat out incredible. He is flat out a good dude and takes his job to new professional heights.
