Salvador Silva Jr

I hired Mr. Silva to represent my son in a murder case. He was charged with murder, gang enhancements, and gun enhancements. My son was looking at 50 years to Life in prison. After hiring Sal, he had several meetings with the DA and also did a great investigation. Sal was able to talk the DA into... dismissingnthe murder charger, and the gang and gun enhancements. My son was given time served and came home immediately. Sal was a great attorney. Hes not afraid to mix it up with the DA and the judges. I would hire him again in a heartbeat.

I paid this attorney a retainer fee. On my husbands courtdate he never showed up. I tried contacting him and he advised me that my husbands case was already called once he got there...This is because my husband covered fr him and made his plea alone. Upon contact with this attorney he never returned ...my phone calls and failed to discuss the case, I set up payment arrangements with him--becasue he never showed up for the first court dte i was not going to continue making payments until he appeared or made contact with us. Tomorrow is my husbands court date and I got an email asking for payment telling me I was late...actually this was a text message. Upon trying to call him he justkept asking for the money and implied if I did not have it in cash the day of court that he was off the case...I never said that I would not pay him and let him know my concerns...becuase of this and the text messages, and inappropriateness I asked if he wanted to return the initial retainer (since he never appeared in court) his answer was" I am not refunding anything" and I am off the case...Never in my life have I ever been treated or talked to in this manner as an attorney he really took the trust that I had in him for my husband and now we are stuck going to court tomorrow to have to explain this to the judge. He is a money hungry mean person...how after this could you trust him to represent you.
