Great lawyer, great result

My boyfriend was charged with 2 robberies and gang enhancements. After invesitgation with his private investigator glen, mr silva was able to get all the charges dismissed. My boyfriend was released immediately and mr silva even got his parole violation dismissed as well. He is a awesome lawyer.

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, honest, smart lawyer. Got 10 kilos of meth case dismissed!

I hired Sal to defend my boyfriend on a drug case. He was arrested with 10 kilos of meth and 200 thousand dollars. He filed a motion saying that police didnt have the right to search my boyfriend's car. He won the motion and my BF's case was completely dismissed. Sal is a great lawyer. He is ...honest and takes his time to explain the whole process to you. He visited my BF 3 times and gave me his cell phone number so i could reach him whenever i had a question.
