Michael J Silveira

I received a ticket for driving 70+mph in a 50mph zone on the Bay Bridge. Michael was responsive through email communication and was able to get my ticket dismissed. I can whole heatedly recommend his service to drivers who inadvertently get a speeding ticket and are concerned about the impact of t...he ticket on their driving record.

I received a citation at an Oakland red light camera late at night, when I was lost and looking for an onramp and turned into it without paying proper attention to the light. With no other cars around me and no pedestrians I put no one in danger and felt the exhorbitant cost of this ticket was unfair.... I called close to a dozen traffic lawyers and chose Mike because he responded promptly, answered all my questions thoroughly by phone and by email, and his price was reasonable. I decided it was worth the risk to try his services. He explained his strategy in my particular case and in due time he informed me that he managed to convince the judge to dismiss my ticket entirely...no points, no fine, nothing. He communicated with me respectfully and promptly and gave me results that are even better than I expected. I feel very lucky to have found such a competent lawyer for such cases and recommend him most highly.

Michael Silveira did an excellent job at getting my red light ticket dismissed. My supervisor who works at the san mateo court recommended me to MIchael Silveira. I was worried about paying so much money for a red light violation that I received and then having to worry about taking traffic school ...but Michael Silveira was able to take it to court and get it dismissed. He kept me informed about what was going on and what was going to happen.

Michael is a great traffic lawyer and has provided me with great service through the years. I first met him at traffic court where I was lost in the hallways of the court house. Not knowing where to go, I noticed he seemed like he was the only one among us that knew what he was doing. So I decided to... ask him for some direction and it just so happened we were assigned to the same room. Since there was quite a wait, as usual with the court systems, I had some time to chat with him and told him I was quite nervous about the whole process. I was fighting a rolling stop sign ticket that day. He gave me some great advice about what to do and what to expect. Before I knew it, my case was dismissed. I'm really glad I kept his card because since then, he's helped me successfully dismiss a red light camera ticket and just recently a speeding ticket on the Bay bridge. Michael is a down to earth guy and most importantly, knows his trade. He's a professional and can handle your case in the most efficient way possible. His communication and record keeping are excellent. I was informed and in the know throughout the whole process. Another important trait Michael possesses is his willingness to listen and to let you finish your statement. He never made me feel rushed or unimportant whenever I reached out to him. He always answered my questions directly and didn't beat around the bush. Communicating with Michael was very natural and smooth which I think is one of the most important things when someone is going to represent you. Regarding fees, even with all the positives I mentioned above, because of my personality, I still compared his rates to about 10 other firms. He's solid in this department. Let me say, dollar for dollar, it's going to be hard to find better value for your money. Michael receives five stars all around... if there were a rating system for customer service, he would get 5 stars there too. Hire him!

I recently utilized the services of Michael Silveira for a traffic violation ticket issued last August. Although I have driven commercially for twenty years with a class A license, multiple endorsements and a clean driving record (i.e. no accidents or convictions), this was my first experience in hir...ing an attorney to fight such a citation, which I believed to be truly unjust. From the onset, Michael handled the case very professionally by taking care of the scheduled arraignment date without my being present to enter a plea, and then by scheduling a later court date to contest the violation. \ Throughout the entire process, Mr. Silveira kept me apprised of the process and gave me confidence that the issue would be resolved in a favorable manor. Even though I provided a written statement of facts to explain my version of the facts to the Court - in this case, my contesting of the alleged failure to make a complete stop before turning right at an intersection - the thought that my driving record would be erroneously charged and tarnished with such a citation truly worried me. The court appearance date was scheduled for the latter part of January and the following day, I received a courtesy notice from Michael that the case had been simply dismissed - as he believed it would be - to my greatest relief. I would wholeheartedly recommend Michael Silveira’ s services - and thanks again Michael for making my life easier, and I wish all the best!!!
