Great attorney! Very happy I hired him

Matt was fantastic from day one. Very knowledgeable and took the time to explain the process and answer all my questions. He was highly recommended by my family practice lawyer when the opposing party (who lost custody battle) filed false charges in retaliation. Matt represented me, he is sharp and ...very skillful getting the facts straight. Justice was served and the charges were dismissed. Matt was a pleasure to work with, he went above and beyond to make sure he answered all my questions and concerns. Even though my case was a small case compared to the cases he handles, he gave me his full attention and made sure my case was handled in a timely manner. He offered really good advice on how to protect myself in the future and went above and beyond the call of duty. I'd hire him again in a heartbeat. He is one of a kind and one of the few lawyers who make you immensely grateful that they love their job truly and care about their small cases as much as they care about their big ones. Thank you Matt, you rock! <3

EJ: you were a total pleasure to work with. I am so very happy that this case has been dismissed. Your organization and attention to detail made representing you a breeze. Hopefully you won't have any more problems with the other side. I wish you the best of luck in all your future ambitions. If you ever need anything, please do not hesitate to call!

ABSOLUTEY Phenomenal Lawyer

Mr. Silva has been my attorney on quite a few cases. He is the spitting image of what everyone should have in a Defense Attorney. His staff is EXTREMELY knowledgeable, punctual, and friendly. I have used other attorneys in the past that you could almost never get ahold of. This legal team will keep y...ou updated and informed all the way through! Mr. Silva doesn't just look for the easiest way to settle a case, he seeks the BEST possible outcome for the client through all means neccessary. I had several charges that could have resulted in some serious time in combination with some outside factors. This team got EVERY charge reduced or dropped by proving that I truly was mistreated during my altercations that caused said charges. He took every bit of time he needed to get the best outcome possible, and while I won't divulge details... Let's just say I feel like a free man again as of today! Matt is also extremely supportive of our local military and will proudly stand up for you in court! He has always ensured I knew that he appreciated my service to our great country. I can't Express the amount of gratitude I have for this legal team in writing! Thanks so much for everything!

Misdemeanor Larceny Charge

Mr. Silva defended me in a Misdemeanor Larceny case involving Walmart. I refused to plead guilty to something I didn't do and he understood that. Once we were able to view the surveillance tapes in his office he assured me we had a good case. In court he asked all the right questions of the Loss Prot...ection associate from Walmart to create plenty of doubt about the validity of his charges. NOT GUILTY are the sweetest words I've ever heard. Thank you so very much for your belief in me!
