Red light violation client

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.

Best attorney in bay area period!

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.

THE BEST TRAFFIC LAWYER IN THE SAN FRANCISCO 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!

Highly Recommended for any Traffic Violations

I had a red light violation ticket and I was found guilty through TBD. That is when I got connected with Mike to help me out. Within a week Mike was able to get a trail date and two days back he got my case dismissed! It wasn't only his brilliance, but also due to his years of legal experience he ha...s a thorough understanding of the law and how best to tackle it. The best part of my case was that he made sure that I didn't have to appear in court (he appeared on behalf of me) which made it very seamless for me. I would highly recommend him if you have any sort of traffic violations.

My go-to guy for traffic tickets

Yes, I'm not the best driver in the world, but you if you saw my driving record you couldnt tell! Michael has gotten 3 cases dismissed for me over the last 2 years or so (2 speeding, red light camera) I'm so glad that a dear friend of mine referred him to me.
