I was unlucky enough to get a DUI visiting San Francisco from San Diego. It was the first time I ever got arrested... Mike really calmed my nerves and helped me through the whole situation. He really made the whole process about as smooth as it could have been. I'm very happy with his effort, and... would definitely recommend 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.

I was traveling to bay area from Houston, Texas to visit a friend in south bay, CA last summer and rented a car during my stay. One day as I was making a right turn at an intersection at a red light I realized that my photo was taken by the red light camera. The problem was that I apparently did not ...come to a full stop before making a right turn at the red light. Very recently the red light cameras in the bay area have incorporated this feature and will estimate your speed at right turn. I find this ridiculous because I am a very cautious driver and never got a ticket in the last six years. Also seems like red light violations captured by camera is california is considered a moving violations while it is not in Texas. Long story short, a couple of weeks later my rental car charged me $30 and following up on that, I realized that it is the processing fee for sending the court notice. Couple of weeks later after following up with the court, I received the notice in mail for a ridiculous $900 TICKET!!!! Half of what I make as a graduate student!!! I called a few attorney and the attorney fee were as much high as the tickets in Bay Area. I was really fortunate that I found Michael and he dismissed my ticket a very affordable fee (a fraction of what other attorneys were asking for). Michael is very responsive and knows the judges in many districts and courts. I highly recommend him specially for traffic violations in Bay Area.

I recently received a VC21453A Red Light ticket from San Mateo County. The camera was located in the corner of Hillsdale Blvd and Saratoga Drive. I did some research on the internet and came across a Pleasanton-based lawyer who recommended the legal services of Mike Silveira. I called Mike immediatel...y and he immediately responded to my plea since I didn't have the time to be driving back and forth to Redwood City (from Dublin) not counting the uncertainty if I can personally defend my case. In one week, Mike had the case dismissed. When he says he can have it dismissed, you better believe it! I highly recommend Mike Silveira to anyone that has received a speeding or red light ticket. This man is honest, very responsive should you have any questions or concerns, as well as dedicated and passionate towards his legal profession. In fact, I am keeping his name and contact number permanently in my directory in case someone or myself need him again. By the way, his legal fees are very reasonable and its a flat rate regardless of how many times he has to be in court. Totally worth every penny!
