Honest and patient

I have gone through an extremely difficult divorcing process.... I have consulted five attorneys until I fund Angela through a referral. She is realistic, honest and professional. She has great personality and amazing medication skills. Very appreciate for all she has helped and guidance

Review of Ms. Angela Da Silva

Ms. Da Silva has worked on behalf of my family and myself over the course of the past 10 years. She has brought calm in the mist of a storm and provided confidence, understanding, and strategy in working on my behalf. As an example, in 2013 I received an unexpected call from another firm and within m...inutes I called Angela's office and she immediately took my phone call and started processing the information on my behalf. Angela is not just an Attorney, she is a part of my "tool belt" of professionals that watch closely after my interests and family. Her office support team is truly the best and very sensitive to each conversation I've had with them over the years. From time to time I have questions that come up and a quick call provides me with not only an answer but a chance to have a few minutes to catch up on family items with a few laughs. If you are not familiar with the court system, need a person that will stand still while the waves of life come crashing and need a person that will not only listen but will work on your behalf to assure your success, then Angela Da Silva is that attorney. She's amazing not only as a person, but she is very gifted in her profession.

Client

Angela did a good job in guiding me through the process and dealing with complex client matters.

DO NOT HIRE!! HORRIBLE!!

She does not return emails or phone calls. Will NOT fight for you. Will not do what you request and will always look to take the easy way out. She doesn't care if you win or lose She just wants to get paid. Several times she has not returned emails or phone calls but NEVER misses that phone call for ...her monthly payment. Worst decision ever was hiring her!!

DO NOT HIRE

Very Biased and one sided. Shouldn’t be an attorney if it were up to me. Extremely poor values

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.
