Mr. Silva is a professional that gets the job done.

If you’re looking for an attorney that will get you the most favorable outcome for your case, Mr. Silva is your guy! He has proven himself time and time again on a number of different cases for me, some criminal and some traffic. From the consultation to the trial he is up front about everything and ...he keeps you in the loop with all things pertaining to your case. He is confident in the court room and while other lawyers babble on, he presents a sound defense and picks apart the prosecution’s details. He got every one of my cases dismissed with no penalty. I even had a case outside of his operating area and he referred me a lawyer in that area that was just as ferocious as he is, and that I had the same confidence in, and that got the job done in the same fashion. He is without a doubt the best Attourney in the area.

Mr. Silva's counsel was extremely professional, helpful, and knowledgeable throughout the deliberation of my case. I always felt confident stepping into the courtroom with Mr. Silva representing me because I knew he had my best interests in mind and would defend me to the utmost of his ability. I am ...extremely grateful for Mr. Silva's services and would highly recommend his counsel for any DUI/DWI and traffic cases.

If you don’t want to lose, this is your man

I received a terrible DWI at a checkpoint. I hired Matt Silva and he took care of everything….I literally didn’t have to do anything. Normally DWI/DUI’s can linger in the court system for years, I made it extremely clear that my job was on the line and it had to be heard quickly. It only took a few m...onths before my case went before a judge. Mr. Silva did his homework and shut it tf down for me in court and had everyone but me looking stupid. He was able to get my DWI reduced to a much lower sentence. If it wasn’t for him I would have been fired, license gone for a year, and either community service/jail time. Could not have been happier; definitely recommend.

Outstanding Performance and Professionalism

Mr. Silva created an atmosphere of confidence and understanding. From the initial meeting, long stents of continuances due to COVID, and through the end Mr. Silva always provided confidence and reassurance to me and my family. A temporary laps in judgement on my part turned into what seemed like a wo...rst case scenario for me and my family. Mr. Silva saw it for what it was, an honest mistake. And with this mindset, he went to work defending me. Through his years of experience, his meticulous attention to detail and methodical execution of judicial procedures, Mr. Silva was able to persuaded the court that forgiveness not penalty was the justice I would receive. Rightfully so, debt was owed to the court in form of monetary payment, but that was the extent of punishment. For this, I can not thank or praise Mr. Silva and his team enough. My family and I are truly blessed to have such a wonderful lawyer and legal team as them. Mr. Silva will always fight for his clients through legal means with results surpassing expectations.

Ideal Legal Representation

The ideal vision of legal representation. Absolutely amazing. From reading reviews i know that either your first few words are a yes or a no. For Mr. Silva i can say it's an absolute yes. If you have a hole punched in your boat either: you need someone to help shovel the water out or to repair the ho...le. In my situation Mr. Silva did both. I am beyond grateful for more than my particular outcome, (which was positive) but his over all attention to my specific circumstances. One thing that became overwhelming apparent is how unfair the system can be to individuals. Mr. Silva and his staff made exceeding effort to understand and validate my individual circumstances. To me that was invaluable. My particular case took 3 yrs to resolve, and during that entire time Mr. Silva and his team treated me as if i had just walked through the door, equally as important and urgent as anyone else. I am so grateful to his service and his entire team from the communication of the front office to himself. Any questions or corcerns i had were met with understanding and answer. At no point during the process did i feel like i was alone or 'in the dark'. I always felt as though i had someone on my side. Mr. Silva dedicated himself and his team for 3 years to ensure that i had the best possible outcome for my situation. When i envision legal representation at its 'ideal' Mr. Silva encompasses that vision fully.
