Hired him twice

I hired Sal for a friend after looking two weeks for a good lawyer. Everyone I previously contacted seemed to have the same opinion "its going to be difficult" "hard to prove his innocense". After explaining the situation, Sal gave me a date to meet with him in person. I paid his fee and left the cas...e in his hands briefly explaining the ideal outcome. I wasn't dissapointed. Not only have I referred him to others I hired him a second time. Realistic expectations. Realistic outcomes. No sugar coating. I will continue to refer him without hesitstion.

SAL WILL FIGHT FOR YOU

I had Two counts of Attempted murder and two counts of Criminal threats. The D.A. was not offering any deals and my current attorney wanted to waive time for a year. Salvador Silva stepped in and was able to negotiate a deal prior to the preliminary hearing. The two counts of attempted murder where d...ropped as well as one count of the criminal threats. I was satisfied with Mr. Silvas aggressiveness and passion for the Law. If you want an attorney thats going to fight for you Salvador Silva is your man. I was sentenced to 2years with half time.
