Best Lawyer after hands down!

I really recommend Sal he did dedicate our case fully my boyfriend was charged with attempted murder. Now his charge went down to just having a firearm. Mind you the D.A represented our case so bad that we worried that the outcome was him not getting out for several years. But thanks to Sal he got my... boyfriend with time served and is coming home …. One more thing he always text & returned my calls! Also we had a different lawyer in the beginning which we so regret “big difference !”

The worse lawyer ever hired

My husband hired Salvador silva jr in 2018 for a murder case in which he said he can get him a 7 year deal for manslaughter. He charged him 20,000 for the case but my husband was only able to come up with 8 to 10 thousand. Sal said if it goes to trail he will need at least 20,000 to defend him or he ...would lose in trail because he couldn't build a proper defense . We'll he didn't lie because when my husband didnt pay he lost in trail and has currently filed a complaint with the state bar for professional conduct violation on Salvador silva jr and is appealing his case in court for ineffective assistants of council. My husband said he wouldn't recommend Sal to nobody even if he agreed to do your case for free . He is so unprofessional,arrogant and doesn't care about doing his job properly and shouldn't be allowed to practice law in the state of California.

DUI

There are a lot of attorneys out there who just take your money and don't work hard for you. I was so terrified after getting my first DUI and Sal was helpful, explained everything and helped me get a great deal because of his experience as a former prosecutor.

I do not recommend

Never shows up to court, lied and said my husband would do no time in jail and ended up getting 3 years. The plea never changed. We were better off with a public defender. Never showed us any discoveries and when asked for the plea agreement and court recording he said give me another $500 and I will... drive to the court and give it to you. Riverside public defenders help out more then paying an attorney out of the area. Not worth the money when you can't fight for the person who is paying you.

Money Well Spent

Sal went above and beyond helping me get out of an unfortunate situation that I got caught up in. I was innocent but everything looked as if I wasn't. Sal was very thorough and understood my situation and new the intricacies of how he could help me out the best way possible. This saved my career as w...ell as my record. I would have paid ten fold for the service that I received- worth every penny and more.
