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.

Unfortunately, many people overlook their efforts. I am very happy that your case is over and gone. I know it was a long road but I think winning was worth it! I wish you the best of luck in your career!

The Absolute Best

Mr, Silva and his team helped me through a time in my life when I made a huge mistake and needed help to get out of it. He does not waste your time, and knows when you have a case he can help you fight. Mr. Silva was incredible helpful, kind, and understanding of my situation, and with his help, I wa...lked away with zero charges and a clean slate. Watching him in the court room was incredibly impressive. He knew the Judge and when to move forward, but also when to stop. I couldn't be more happy and grateful for his help and the outcome. I will always recommend SKA Lawyers, but especially Matt Silva, if I ever hear of anyone in the Onslow County area in trouble because this is a man that will have your back and help you get through it. Thank you again Mr. Silva, I will appreciate everything you have done for me forever.

THE DWI Lawyer

Matt Silva is THE attorney for Onslow County DWI’s. He knows all the judges that you want your case in front of, and the judges/court officials all know and respect him. He successfully defended my own case. I appreciate his professionalism and expertise, they were second to none. Far and above the b...est DWI lawyer around.
