Modesto DUI

Mike was awesome from start to finish, and was always available to answer my questions. Getting a DUI is not an easy experience - it's pretty humbling in many ways. Mike helped me get through it, and I'm very happy with the outcome. I wouldn't hesitate to work with him again.

Excellent, speedy, reliable service from a sharp young attorney

Mike Silveira is a very competent lawyer. He is skilled at managing the entire process of getting a traffic ticket dismissed. Allegedly I had committed one of those heinous crimes (<5mph trips through a red light turning right, when not stopping completely, with no pedestrians/cars/anything in view) ...and got hauled in by a Redwood City Motorcycle Cop. I wonder how many criminals this guy has apprehend in his career .. likely very few if any. I called Mike and he took care if it promptly. Mike is a top notch guy, if you have to deal with a ticket he is the guy who will take care of it !

Courtroom Expert-Traffic & Criminal Matters

I work for The Courts in San Mateo County. When my family members and friends ask me to point them in the right direction with their tickets...I ALWAYS have them contact Mike. Mike knows all there is to know about traffic matters and criminal matters. Mike has won EVERY case that has gone to trial ...for my friends and family, most recently...last week. You are in the best hands with Michael Silveira.

The Best DUI Attorney in San Mateo County

I visit San Mateo often for business. This often includes taking clients out, and inevitably involves consuming alcohol. On one fateful night after one such occasion, I was pulled over by a CHP officer for speeding. The next thing I know, I am standing on one leg, tilting my head back, and doing o...ther ridiculous movements. Needless to say, I was soon cuffed and on my way to give a blood test. I contacted many San Mateo DUI Lawyers, and Mike seemed the most trustworthy and aggressive. He handled my case perfectly, and resolved it with a reduction in charges and no license suspension, interlock device, etc. He made the whole process about as simple as it could be. Highly recommended.

Excellent and efficient traffic lawyer

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!
