Well done De Silva Law Offices!

Words cannot express my gratitude to De Silva Law Offices! They are very knowledgeable and excel at navigating all aspects of the law. Whether it's a simple matter like a speeding ticket or something more serious, they truly know what they're doing. They provide clear communication, helping me unders...tand how certain things work and why. On top of their expertise, they are understanding, encouraging, and kind—a truly exceptional team. I could not have asked for anyone better to represent me than De Silva Law Offices. Thanks for a job well done!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
