Michael J Silveira

My driver license got suspended because of this lawyer negligence. My case hasn’t even been filed, but I still got suspended from DMV’s side of the case. I haven’t got a point in my driving history all my life. My experience is below: 1. His office never has never reached me with updates; instead I... have to call them to get the updates. 2. I have to call to remind them about my DMV hearing appointments( I have a feeling that they have no idea). 3. Once I have been told by his office that my case was dropped; which is not true, and that my case wasn’t filed( apparently the guy who works in his office doesn’t know the difference between “not filed”and “dropped”. 4. I always had to call DMV to get the updates from them directly. 5. Even though I called a day before last hearing appointment to remind them, they failed . 6. After a week from receiving the suspension letter, I called his office about that. They had no clue. 7. After I called them to tell them that I had received suspension letter, they told me they would call me in half an hour; but they have never ever called. Now I got to hire another attorney to carry my case because I don’t trust this man anymore. And I promise to go after him, if I find that is possible. Finally, after what happened to me, I doubt the credibility of the many good reviews that this lawyer has… and the end I wish you all good luck in your cases.

I was skeptical when I first decided to hire a lawyer to fight my ticket. However, Michael proved me wrong. He was excellent, professional, organized, experienced. I could have went to other traffic lawyers but I chose Michael because he impressed me. Great results. I am very happy and satisf...ied customer. I would not hesitate to recommend Michael to anyone with a traffic issue.

I have commercial driver license, on July driving South of San Francisco I got a speeding ticket. At that time did not really know what to do , browsing the web I read and was impressed about Mr Michael Silveira`s good ratings and success in various cases. I decide to give a call and look for some a...dvice,after couple rings Mr. Michael answer the phone personally, explain to me clearly what chances I have, how long will take , what I should I expect how much will be the cost . I decided to hire him, all I had to do is to exchange couple emails with him. Today, Mr Michael sent me an email saying: Congrats! The ticket was dismissed in full – no traffic school, no fine and nothing at all on your driving record. That is amazing I am so happy . The price was affordable, I was hassle free the result is excellent. I strongly recommend to anyone with a traffic ticket to try to fight the ticket.

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 got a red light camera ticket (21453a) recently and as I had already taken traffic school I did not have that option as well. However, this was a ticket I never thought I had in the first place and I just got an Adult delinquency Notice from the court way past the deadline and I really did not know... what to do. I went to the court for extension but got absolutely no help from them. I hired Michael Silveira for this as I could not afford to spend more time and energy on this. All transactions with MIke were thru' email and I did not have to go anywhere. I must say Mike handled it end to end - he got the extension, a court trial date and ultimately won the case for me. I think he is a brilliant lawyer with a lot of experience and knowledge of traffic laws. I would highly recommend him without any reservation for any traffic violation case as I am sure he will most probably win it for you.
