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.

Great attorney, great results

My son was facing 35 years to life in prison for attempted murder, gun and gang enhancements. Mr. Silva was able to get all of those charges dismissed and my son was given credit for time served and released asap. Mr. Silva is an excellent attorney and very knowledgable, especially when it comes... to how gang law works. I would recommend him to everyone.

I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND MR. SILVA TO ANYONE!!!

Our family hired Mr. Silva for my son's attempted murder case. Never! I would never recommend Mr. Silva to anyone! He was rude and unapproachable and rarely showed up in court. He was arrogant and dismissed us when he did. He rarely answered calls/text msgs, and when he did, he seemed bothered. ...My son was sentenced in 2011 and Mr. Silva to this date (Jan. 2014) has NOT sent my son his legal paperwork (his Discovery) that he had asked for when Silva was first retained in September of 2010.

Excellent lawyer, not afraid of the DA's

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.

Great attorney.....got my boyfriends rape case dismissed.

Mr. Silva represented my boyfriend in a rape case. He initially got his bail lowered so we were able to bail him out. Then, after some investigation, he was able to convince the DA to dismiss the whole case against him. My boyfriend was looking at 8 yrs in prison, two strkes and a lifetime of sex... registration, but now hes home cuz all the charges were dismissed. Mr silva is an excelent lawyer. Everything he told us about the process came true and i would hire him again or refer to anyone.
