I had a bad luck of not watching my speed closely and received a second citation within 6 months from a CA Highway Patrol officer. Which meant not only a large fine but extra negative points. I don't have to spell out the consequences - insurance rating going up, driver's license in danger etc. I... called several lawyers but none of them was definite about the results. They charged high but could not guarantee anything. So just 2 days before my court date I was advised to contact Michael Silveira. Thank God for that advice! Not only was he willing to take my case on such a short notice, he also impressed my with how professional he sounded and how sure he was of at least saving my driving record. The result exceeded any expectations I had - no fine, no points and all that for a quite reasonable fee. Thank you sooo very much Michael ! With best wishes - Stella

I had received a camera ticket in Oakland and received a ridiculous fine that I really did not want to pay. I found Michael on here and was at first hesitant as I had never worked with a lawyer before. He answered all my questions and concerns so I decided to take a leap of faith. Given that the c...ase extended over 6 months, I did have to proactively seek a status update once or twice. However, Michael took care of everything, I didn't have to appear in court, which would have been difficult since I live far away and he got my citation fully dismissed with no record, all for less than the cost of the original ticket. I highly recommend Michael.

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.

I visit Oakland often and took the usual route home on a Sat morning at the freeway on-ramp near 27th St. Traffic light was red, so I stopped at the intersection, and there were no on-coming cars, so I got on the freeway. Two months I got a red-light camera ticket in the mail, with pictures and a... link to the OPD site with a video clip as well. The fine, with traffic school, was going to cost me over $550. I have not gotten a ticket for over 10 years, and could not remember any ticket costing over $200. My first reaction was: OK. They got me. They have pictures and video proof. But because of the excessive fine, I thought of fighting this ticket and started searching for a traffic attorney, and stumbled on to this web site called Avvo, and put in a request. The following day, I got an email from Michael that he is interested in my case, and that he can help me so I contacted him the following day. Michael was very responsive to all my emails, requests and questions, explained in details about the process, so I decided to hire him. It was the best decision I've made. Working with him could not have been easier. Once you email him the ticket info, you are done. Michael basically takes care of everything else. I don't know how he does it with these evidence against me, but he got my ticket dismissed! He is extremely friendly and easy to talk to. He answer your email questions promptly and honestly and kept me informed. Now I know who to call next time. If you have a red-light camera ticket, there's still hope. Don't just give up and pay the fine and/or go to traffic school. Give Michael a call. He's the best attorney, and I highly recommended him.
