“I have been using Walter for my commercial matters for some years now. He does an excellent work with agreements and is also well versed in disputes.

(JT, Commercial and litigation client, 2016)”

JT,

“I was charged with theft under Section 379 of the Penal Code sometime earlier this year. A friend recommended Silvester Legal LLC. Walter evaluated my case and on being told that I had an antecedent charge for the same offence, told me that the benchmark was a short custodial sentence. He said that he would work to have the prosecution agree to not ask for a custodial sentence. After some exchange of correspondence, the prosecution agreed that they would not seek a custodial sentence.

Even at the sentencing, the District Judge said that under such circumstances, the prosecution would normally seek a custodial sentence. Thankfully, she agreed with the prosecution’s recommendation on sentence and instead of sending me to jail, imposed a fine. Barely 2 months after seeing Walter for the first time, I walked out of the courtroom, a free man.

I am extremely grateful to Walter for what he has done for me. Somehow, he managed to get the prosecution to agree to not seek a custodial sentence. I would recommend him to anyone seeking a good criminal defence lawyer.
