Excellent Attorney! Highly Recommended! Top-Notch Professional!

I am so thankful that Paula represented me in my divorce case. She is incredibly intelligent, patient, understanding and diligent. She was on top of my case and fought hard for everything that was important to me. She worked tirelessly and was instrumental in helping me keep a level head throughout... the process. She is a skilled negotiator and an expert at being aggressive when necessary while maintaining a very professional demeanor. She always provided me with updates, details and overall excellent communication throughout the entire process. I can't say enough positive things about Paula and I cannot recommend her highly enough! Paula is highly trustworthy, ethical and will be a valuable asset on your side. Lastly, the entire office staff was equally as wonderful. Thank you all for the wonderful job you did to help me through such a difficult process, I am incredibly grateful!

Child Support Modification

Ms.Paula I arrived at her office in a difficult moment for me and my children. Now from the minute at orientation that she explain the whole process. I knew she was the one, 100% aggressive and professional. She keep all the evidence up to date. During the whole case, she guided me step by step an...d never let me lose hope. In the process she fought to the end and we won the case. I recommend Ms.Paula Silva and her staff to anyone that want a successful/clean ending on their case.

Aggressive

Having an attorney like Ms. Paula Silva is the best thing I did, going through a divorce is not an easy thing. She is very aggressive, and doesn't take crap from opposing council, she will give you the advice which is very practical and to your benefit. Paula and her team made the process so easy and... smooth that when we got done with the divorce, not only I was a free man but I was also worry free. There were time that I was frustrated with the process of the divorce, but never once she got angry or irritated. I hope, I don't have to use a divorce attorney ever again and if I ever have too, she will be the 1st one I will go too and also the 1st one I would refer too if anyone wants a divorce attorney.

Supportive and realistic.

I hired Ms. Silva for my divorce case in 2015, and am very pleased with the outcome she helped provide. Ms. Silva is very good at taking in all of the information you provide, including what your desired outcome is, and presenting your best case. She didn't promise that everything would go exactly ...the way I wanted it to, but looked into everything to determine what was realistic. She is also a wonderful blend of aggressive, yet not inflammatory. When opposing council attempted to make confrontational situations she stepped in to a) resolve the situation, and b) let them know that they and their client were being unrealistic and incendiary. This happened while still being clear and firm about where we stood on custody expectations.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
