Kody Charles Silva

DeYerle Silva Smith PLLC made the process of filing for an uncontested divorce as painless as it could possibly be. I worked with partner Kody Silva, who was professional, approachable, and quite thorough in explaining the legal process. His expertise and attention to detail have given me confidence... at every step, ensuring that nothing was overlooked. I also want to thank their paralegal, Rachel Zinsmeyer, for her exceptional support throughout the process. Rachel has been wonderfully patient, walking me through the petition, decree, and settlement process with clarity and kindness. She always made herself available to answer questions and alleviate any concerns I had. Together, Kody and Rachel made an excellent team, and I couldn’t recommend DeYerle Silva Smith PLLC more highly.

With unparalleled acumen in the domain of family law, Kody Silva epitomizes the ideal attorney that not only perserveres passionately to drive for results, but also genuinely cares about the minors who can be so dramatically impacted by the outcomes. After an arduous six months of proceedings and neg...otiations, I am thankful every day that I chose the Kirker Davis firm and that Kody Silva chose to take my case. He and the team at Kirker Davis were incredibly efficient and effective at achieving the outcome I desired; even when my desires shifted with changing circumstances, Mr. Silva was always there offering brilliant counsel and guidance with an agility that continuously impressed me. While I could go on for quite a while about his character, work ethic and efficient use of time and resources I would rather highlight his style of communication, as that was most impactful for me. Like many, I am busy with work and extracurriculars, volunteering in various capacities in the community in addition to co-parenting two young boys. As such, I value clear, direct communication in the most optimal format, where sometimes that is a phone call, sometimes email, and occasionally even text messages. Mr. Silva adapted to my style and availability in such a way that I always felt we were making progress quickly, notwithstanding idle periods waiting for opposing counsel. I believe that efficient communication helps to maximize productivity, and Mr. Silva embodies this maxim. Were I ever to need counsel on any family law matter in the future, I have a list with one name: Kody Silva.

I went through a difficult divorce recently that required experience with LGBTQ issues. Picking Kody for my legal counsel was the best choice I could have made. I knew from the first meeting with Kody that he was completely invested in my case and would give it the attention it would require. He pr...oved to be an exceptional lawyer. He was fair-minded, professional, and realistic at all times, even when my ex-wife’s lawyer was trying to make it extremely difficult to stay civil. He knew when to be firm and unwavering with the opposing counsel, which ultimately resulted in an agreement without having to go to court. Kody and his paralegal, Priscilla, are an excellent team. They were friendly and responsive at all times. The billing of my case was handled in a very prudent and efficient manner. I wouldn't hesitate to hire Kody again in the future.

I am grateful I found Kody to handle my divorce. He understands the law and court systems in Texas extremely well and has the empathy and communication skills many lawyers lack, while still being straightforward about the risks and rewards. He and his team were very responsive, including on weekends ...and outside of normal business hours, and he handled both the legal and emotional aspects of divorce with skill and compassion. I would absolutely recommend him and refer him to others with any type of family law concern.

Kody has not only the subject matter expertise but also understands the empathy of his clients really well. He dealt my complicated divorce case with thorough analysis, understanding the intricacies involved in my case, evaluating all possible options and proposing the best course of action. He has a...n amazing team who responds to your questions spontaneously via email even during a weekend! They're the best in customer centricity and I whole hardheartedly recommend Kody and his team, if you're looking to get your divorce case solved seamlessly, however complex it may be! Wish you and your team all the very best, Kody!
