Helped us Through a Tricky Situation Michelle did a great job guiding us through a difficult legal situation. My brother-in-law was living with us, but became violent. My husband and I sought and received a temporary restraining order, only to have my brother-in-law file a cross-TRO against my husband. Michelle helped us make the right choices for us, avoiding potentially nasty legal pitfalls.

First dui case, get a lawyer! After getting arrested for fist DUI, I was researching if an attorney would be worth it.... it is! Michelle and Team took care of all the legal matters and also helped me with DMV matters. It helps to also know the process for the DMV because that is a separate process than your legal matter, and Michelle is an expert at both. She communicated with me throughout the entire process. She set expectations on next steps for both court and DMV, and provided guidance on each step. No court appearance was needed since she was able to attend on my behalf. Thank you Michelle! View More

From a negative to a positive outcome! Last year in the summertime I decided to drive drunk inexcusably. In this really strict county, I got arrested for my second DUI. I realized I wanted to hire an attorney immediately, but whom should I hire?  What should I do first? Money was tight, and I knew that due to COVID, I wouldn't be capable of meeting anyone in person. I was recommended to Ridley Defense by a family member. I had called and spoken with Brain, the business manager. He had answered every single one of my questions and also made me feel like my life wasn't over. Immediately after I reached out and ended up spending an hour with Brian, we both went through my case and provided me with precisely what I needed, honesty and guidance. Michelle Silva represented me in my DUI case, and I couldn't have selected a better lawyer. I could indeed inform you, Michelle could very well assist you with every inch of the process. Her recommendation on this unpleasant procedure was made much easier for me by her expertise. Her check-ins with me every week (often many times per week) had me aware of my case and made me feel relaxed and also on the right path. That only goes to show how much she really cares for her clients and as well as there well-being. You could very well feel gradually more confident of your opportunities as you proceed with Michelles' plan. I was very comfortable and reassured of the outcomes after the process came to an end. I was not just happy for a favorable result. I am so proud to say that I'm satisfied as a client, I'm currently back to being employed and participating in a DUI program. She also went above and beyond with assisting me with my application for my ankle monitor as well. This wasn't simple, but worthwhile. Michelle is indeed a lawyer that cares for your improvement as an individual.  I can't really imagine anyone else helping me more! I'm so thankful more than anything else for having Ridley Defense, but most of all Michelle by my side. Thank you so very much Michelle! View More
