Straight forward and professional. Amazing staff

I hired Mr Silva for a DWI case. From the beginning, he was very transparent about my situation and exactly what he couldn’t offer. His legwork and experience as a prior prosecutor allowed us to make time sensitive decisions and get the best outcome I could have hoped for. Kayla and Hannah have ...been amazing. Long after the case was settled, they have gone above and beyond in helping me get my driving privileges back, even with the courts moving at COVID speed. Would absolutely recommend .

excellent attorney and staff

Recently had a speeding ticket (91/70) in Jones County NC - I have a VA license. Mr. Silva was able to represent me in court and reduce the offense to an improper equipment charge. Therefore I received no points on my license or insurance. Staff (Hannah and Kayla) were knowledgeable and extremely f...riendly to work with. We definitely recommend this firm!!

ALL charges DISMISSED!!!

If you are in trouble Matt Silva is the attorney to hire. I met with Mr. Silva after firing my previous attorney. His office got me in same day for free consultation. I had read ALL the amazing reviews Mr. Silva had, but was still skeptical because of what I had just went through with my previous pai...d attorney. Mr. Silva was very honest about what my chances were in winning each case. He explained the best and worst case scenario. His fees were more expensive than most, but you get what you pay for. I was charged with DWI, wreck less driving, 2nd degree trespassing, and drug paraphernalia. If convicted this would have permanently impacted mine and my families lives. The anxiety I felt was overwhelming at times. I had to put my faith in Mr. Silva. As of today ALL charges have been dismissed. Not 1 or 2 or even 3. Every single one is gone. Danielle and front office staff have also been so patient and kind. Never once did they make me feel like I was a burden when I would call asking question after question. I live out of state and they made sure to update me on court happenings ect. I always knew if I had to drive down to appear at least 2 weeks in advance. Which was great so I could plan accordingly with my husband for my children. If you are in any criminal trouble please call Attorney Silva. Especially if you are charged with DWI for prescribed medication. Not every attorney is well versed in this matter. Even if they lead you to believe so. I learned the hard way.... This man saved my life and I bet he could do the same for you. He is the BEST Onslow county has to offer for legal representation.

Best attorney in the area

Where to even begin my review for Mr. Silva, in the overall answer, hands down he was the best and well-spoken attorneys in the Jacksonville area. This was my first and last case that I will ever have. Mr. Silva made me feel secure and informed of everything that was happening with my case, as well h...is staff is very professional and knowledgeable with the needed information when Mr. Silva is not available. For the longest I have been thinking on what to write but his reviews really speak for him on what he offers. If you need representation for any of his qualifications in the surrounding area Mr. Silva is the person to call. Lastly I wanted to say thank you again to you and your staff for your professionalism and great representation during my court.case
