We had no experience with the legal system, but from our very first conversation, Marsha Silver made us feel comforted, understood, and reassured. She personally guided us through every step, explaining the process and exploring every possibility with incredible dedication and thoroughness. Throughout this difficult time, Marsha felt like a family member fighting alongside us. Her compassion, knowledge, and tireless commitment to our loved one meant more to our family than words can express. We are forever grateful for everything Marsha did for us and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a dedicated and compassionate defense attorney. read more

Marcia is simply the best at what she does... From day one she has been in my corner fighting to get the best possible outcome. And today, I can officially say we have achieved that best possible outcome, all thanks to Marcia. Her meticulous approach to every detail (big or small), her resilient attitude, especially if things don't necessarily go in the way you'd hope for- she reroutes and keeps pressing in a positive manner. I could go on and on, but if you want/need the best representation you can get, hands down go with Marcia and you won't be disappointed. THANK YOU MARCIA!!! read more

Called Ms. Silver about her services and she called me back right away. She was able to walk me through the general process of my concern and she was very thoughtful and clear about how she would proceed. She definitely knows how to get things done and gave me a lot to think about how I want to move forward. I really appreciated the time she spent with me over the phone and you could tell she would be great to work with if we decide to move forward with her services. read more

Marcia provided me with a great deal of guidance about the processes associated with the criminal law system, what I could expect, what all of my options were, how we would approach each situation etc. and ultimately this led to the best possible outcome for me. I felt 100% believed and supported throughout my entire legal ordeal which helped me feel more at ease during an incredibly challenging time in my life. My specific case ended up requiring 2 additional law professionals in addition to Marcia's area of criminal law. Marcia went above and beyond to find these other professionals for me. Saving me an incredible amount of time, money, stress and anxiety. She took time to have personal conversations with them about my case and my specific needs and then provided me with her detailed thoughts and opinions on each individual. This allowed me to make the most informed decision possible and ensured my other representation was also of high quality. When I secured 2 other lawyers in different law areas for this case, Marcia then collaborated with those professionals and fiercely advocated for my needs, ensuring that each professional had my best interests in mind and that neither of these professionals would jeopardize the outcome of my criminal case. When the criminal law portion of my case ended, Marcia continued to check in with me frequently to track the progress in each of the other areas of this case. She continued to provide me with personal advice as well as comments/questions that she would ask the other attorneys in these other areas to ensure I was continuing to get the best representation possible.

Words can't express how exceptional and brilliant this woman is. We had insurmountable odds stacked against us to receive the outcome we did. Other attorneys in the city literally laughed when they heard my situation. They didn't believe for a second that what Marcia Silver achieved would be possible. The calamity of my case is difficult to ascertain without giving too many details, but Marcia's mastery of law was on full display when I needed it most. She dropped her entire schedule to push ahead with my case and assured me she was rapidly addressing it every chance she had. If you ever find yourself in a crisis and are in dire need of legal guidance, there isn't another lawyer in the world that I would recommend ahead of Marcia. I will never forget what she did for me and how much of a fantastic impact it had on my life. Every case is different and can carry different weight, but everyone deserves a chance to explain their side of the story. If you give her a chance to explain your side, you won't regret it. read more

Marcia represented my boyfriend in a RO modification case that involved the ownership and custody rights of his dog. It was a challenging and emotionally taxing case. A renowned law firm told him off the bat that he had no chance of winning. Then we found Marcia. She was absolutely incredible throughout the entire process. She is compassionate, dedicated, and extremely knowledgeable. She presented my boyfriend's narrative effectively and challenged the RO strategically. As a result, the modification was granted by the court and my boyfriend reunited with his beloved dog after being apart for 10 months. Happy tears. read more

Marcia is compassionate, empathetic and by far, the most diligent lawyer I've had the fortune of meeting. I was facing a five-year minimum after federal agents burst through my door and raided my house. Marcia not only helped navigate me through the legal process.. but all three counts were dropped and she couldn't have handled it more gracefully. She's honest, knowledgeable and if you're in a bind, Marcia Silver is the best available solution. read more

This was a very life changing process. Not only did she go above and beyond. She guided me on how to be a respectable participant to society. I was referred to her by a great friend.

Thank you so much for everything Marcia! read more

I got in a really bad situation where I was charge with 3 felonies. I got arrested and while I was in jail my family by friend recommendation hired Marcia Silver. They paid $15000 flat fee which was supposed to cover everything from A to Z - this is why they went with a flat fee in the first case. I was arrested and jailed in November 2010. I was released on bail 21 days later after Marcia reduced $100000 bail to $40000. As soon as I was free I had a meeting with Marcia in her office. I should have noticed how unorganized her paperwork was at the time. She told me she will need additional $3000 for the investigator. We are down $18000 already if you keep score. She started working on my case. Every time when I had a meeting with her she mentions that she needs to go over her notes (Why not before meeting?!?) I didn't feel that she really working it. I'm not sure if she had some personal stuff going on in her life (remodeling, boyfriend, etc) and frankly don't really care. I relied on her to be a professional which she wasn't at the time in my opinion. The biggest shock came right before the preliminary hearing. She told me that we have to redo contract and for another $7500 she will represent me further. (????????). I refused to agree on the spot. A preliminary hearing was over and my case was sent to superior court for further prosecution. Which means $18000 was not a good investment. Or should I say invest in the wrong stock? The above was written many years ago but never posted. I just adjusted it a little. After 4 years (yes I was convicted) my English came up a notch. Here are some afterthoughts: Overall what I'm trying to say - and this comes 6 years later after everything happened that there are so many lawyers who will be much more helpful and attentive. If I knew what I know now back then I would never have dealt with Silver. She simply took advantage of the situation. She really misled my loved ones and let us all believe that she is on top of this. And the price situation is simply unethical. Do not hire her. There are better and less expensive lawyers out there. read more

Marcia's legal expertise and tenacity is truly awe-inspiring. Her nonjudgemental and easy-to-relate-to demeanor make make working with her as easy as possible through what can be an extremely stressful process. If there's a way to get the outcome you want, Marcia is the best person to have on your team. Amazing attorney, 100 stars out of 5. read more

Marcia is a life saver! I was arrested on a violent misdemeanor charge, booked into county jail, released on bail, and told to come to court the week after. I was freaking out because I'm completely clueless about the whole system and the best case scenario in my head was probation or an easy sentence. I called three attorneys total. The first one was through the company I work at and she told me that I would have to have witnesses and that the whole ordeal would take several weeks. She charged me $4800, and this was apparently after a 25% discount. Then, I called the criminal defense attorney with the most reviews on Yelp, and he charged me $5000. Finally, I called Marcia just by chance and I'm so glad I did. She was honest right from the get go and let me know that I might not even have to go through the pain of paying for an attorney. After giving her my arrest info, she called the DA's office for me and found out that the case didn't even go through, so I don't even have to show up to court. Everyone else I sought help from took advantage of my lack of knowledge for their own personal gains. However, Marcia was professional, kind, and honest and definitely knew what she was doing. There's nothing more you can ask for in an attorney, so don't even hesitate to give her a call! read more

I must say that I cannot say nice enough things about Marcia Silver. She is simply amazing. Marcia is intelligent and has deep knowledge of the intricacies of cases and the law, but what makes her stand out is her human side. Being understanding and articulate. Able to communicate with such grace and poise and kindness. She works very hard getting to the bottom of issues and handling them with such amazing grace and respect for all parties. She understands that in the end it's people making decisions. And just like the intricacies of the law, she understands the intricacies of people. Dealing with everyone with such respect and kindness. She is truly a good person and I feel like everyone who meets her ends up being on her side wanting her to win. Because she's such a quality person. Her track record speaks for itself. Having 25 years of experience certainly shows. She knows how to get to the heart of the issue and again, just handles them with such grace it's amazing. What she did for me (without going into detail) was simply amazing. Anyone, I mean anyone, would be lucky enough to have Marcia represent them. Seriously. I cannot thank her enough. I have become better person in the process. I really do mean that. I am a better person because of my experience with Marcia. So if you are looking for someone to represent you, do yourself a huge favor and hire her. Trust me. It will be one of the best decisions you ever make. read more

December 18, 2020 I had never had any dealings with a criminal attorney but have dealt with multiple attorneys in corporate matters. Without any reservations, I would recommend Marcia to anyone who needs an attorney who is a complete professional, will give you their complete attention, do what needs to be done for your case, and will treat you fairly financially. Never would I have believed that I had to deal with domestic violence criminal case and a restraining order case. I immediately began my search for help reaching out to attorneys including a larger firm recommended to me by my EAP. When I met Marcia I felt immediately that she was the best person to deal with my situation. She listened to my story and immediately developed a strategy to try to get the cases dismissed. She recognized that I was wrongly accused and we were dealing with a vindictive individual. She took my statement, including going through numerous text messages, getting an investigator to get information on the individual, and created a convincing package for the DA to review. This was all done in such a professional manner that I could focus on my work and getting this behind me. In the end, she got both the criminal case and the restraining order case thrown out. I highly recommend Marcia Silver she's knowledgeable and knows how to get things done. read more

For 2 years Marcia worked tirelessly and diligently on my very complex case and negotiated a positive outcome. I was charged with 5 very serious charges and Marcia fought for me tooth and nail. Anyone would be lucky to have someone like her who has a wealth of experience in criminal cases both on the prosecution and defense side. After my first consultation with her, I knew for sure she was the right counsel to represent me and asked her to take over from my previous attorney who had messed a couple of things up. I could not have been happier since Marcia went above and beyond on my behalf. Marcia cared for the right outcome and ended up putting in far more time than she was paid for. She's smart as a whip, really cared about me as a person (not just the outcome), knows a ton of people on both sides and adept at working with the DAs office and law enforcement alike. She didn't give up and accept the status quo and kept going back to get me the out of a tricky situation. Not to mention, she has continued to support and check in with me long after she resolved my case. I'm extremely grateful to her and while I hope to never again be in a situation again where I'll need her professional help again but if you find yourself in a tough spot, she's the one you want on your side. read more

Marcia was referred to me by a close friend claiming she was, "hands down the best attorney out there", and he was right. I was put in an extremely difficult situation that honestly didn't believe I would survive. With compassion, commitment, and grace Marcia helped me to focus and put her expertise to work. I am now able to breath and move on with my life after faced with life changing events. I will always hold her in the highest regard and without a doubt, Marcia is the best there is. read more

I hired Marcia Silver for a case a felony case against me. I hired her specifically for a pre-prosecution strategy to get the case dismissed--which is one of her many specialty. I felt very comfortable with the case as she explained it to me, and while the DA took a while to make a decision, eventually they did dismissed it. Marcia spent a lot of time listening to my case and understanding what steps it took to try to convince the DA to get it dismissed. I really felt comfortable with the case in her hands, and she was always very responsive to all my texts and calls. Her dedication for her clients really comes through. I'm really grateful for her and I would recommend her to anyone. read more

Marcia is a miracle worker!! Not only did she get me better results than expected but she was incredibly attentive to me in the process, being sure to check in with me every step of the way with an understanding of the amount of stress and worry I had. She is a knowledgeable professional who is detailed, determined, assertive and honest, making sure to be clear about what she can and cannot do and what to expect. She took a devastating and frightening experience and turned it into something I can work with, a learning experience I can grow from. Marcia was highly recommended to me by 2 people and now I can say I highly recommend her too. Worth every penny, stick with her and you're in good hands...her record speaks for itself. read more

Marcia Silver is an extremely talented and caring lawyer. Upon representing me she took the time to get to know myself and the case through and through. Not letting any detail go unnoticed and helping guide me to take all the actions needed to make a deal with the best possible outcome. I couldn't be happier to say, because of Marcia, we were able to resolve my case without ever going to trial and walking away with the best possible outcome. I cannot thank her enough and highly recommend her if you are looking for a lawyer in the Bay Area. read more

A non-judgmental pro in defense of fair court hearings, Ms. Silver fights for the underdog. At points in our lives, we are hauled into court by brain-dead souls who are on a mindless rampage to vindicate a ruined reputation. She helped me in my libel / civil suit filed by an ex-roommate, and the commissioner's final judgement was acceptable! She does charge market rate, but she is worth it. I even wound up with a personal commendation by the court, which is more than I can say for the lying plaintiff. read more

Marcia has been dealing with my case for almost a year now and it finally go resolved. She was highly recommended from a friend of mine and was told she does wonders. And from my personal experience, I can say that her end results are amazing. I have to be honest tho, I was a little skeptical when I first hired her and was wondering if I made the right decision. But, during the process of my case, she was professional about her work and was honest the whole way about what she can or cannot do for me. She does her research and consult with other colleague to seek what would be the best option for me in my case. She also consulted with me before she made any decision on my case. I hate people that think they knows whats best for me and does things without my permission. In my case, I did not have that problem with Marcia. She laid it down and let me know exactly what is need and is going to happen. Basically, you just have to trust her and trust that you are in good hands because she is good at what she does. I feel that it is all worth it towards the end. I am satisfy with the results and I would truly recommend Marcia as your Criminal Attorney. read more

Marcia Silver in my opinion is one of the best lawyers you can ever ask for. Last year in July I got charged with serious crimes. Which I never committed. And the challenge was how do I prove that I'm innocent and not guilty of anything that's being put on my name. Well luckily for me I had a great lawyer by my side who day and night fought to get me out. One month later!!!!! Finally the day came when I was able to walk out free and not o my was the case dismissed but I was proven factually innocent!!!!!! It's as if nothing ever happened!!! I'm so grateful for Marcia and I hope everyone sees what a great lawyer she is!!!!! read more

Marcia turned what could have been a terrible situation into a much better one. Her dedication is beyond any expectations, and the amount of enthusiasm that she puts into a case is absolutely unbelievable. She takes each case personally, is always within reach, and returns phone calls even when she has taken a much deserved time off! You immediately know that she truly cares, and you can rely on her to be honest and professional to the "T." read more

Took two months to get me out for ,12.5k and then needed more, all the while she wouldn't help meow guy doing much of anything or communicating with anybody and she is my ex my purse which had my bank card in it and he was able to withdraw $60,000 from my bank account while I was in jail for 60 days and even more money than that and when I asked her to help me she wasn't very helpful so I'm like I've been need to pay her again you know she is my main witness to all of what he did. read more

Just like some of the other reviews mentioned on here, Marcia was highly recommended to me. I found myself in a situation where I needed her knowledge, guidance and professionalism. The outcome was exactly what I was hoping for, and Marcia was able to achieve that in a very reasonable time. Marcia will keep you informed the entire time, and will always give you options and keep you comfortable during the process. I would HIGHLY recommend Marcia to anyone in. read more

Marcia was recommended to my by a trusted friend for a complicated matter that I had gotten myself into. She took the time to hear the entire story, didn't cut me off during the winded explanation which allowed me to see that she wants every single detail regardless of I find it necessary or not. She was thorough in every branch of the possible outcome and covering all bases. I felt like she was representing me as one of her kids, and we know that motherly protection is simply bar none! After the initial meeting, she was easy to reach, always willing to go over any questions I may have, and she respected the fact that I cared about her time as well so the level of communication was wonderful and concise! I would recommend anyone who thinks they're in any situation to hire Marcia. She will not pretend as if she knows if she isn't 10000% sure. Marcia will dig deep and do whatever it takes to get the information needed to endure a positive outcome of the situation. Her ability to succeed at what she does is a testament to her genuine care for you! I would recommend Marcia to anyone and everyone! read more

Marcia gets the job done. I hired her for one case and throughout the entire process she was very helpful and always accessible/available. Marcia is very detailed in her work and will provide you with any legal answers you inquire about. She is (by nature) a busy person but will respond to voicemails promptly and is cool about making appointments to talk to you at any stage of your case. She is objective, understanding and serious about using her knowledge of the law to help you. Marcia is understanding, knowledgeable, professional, and will give you confidence throughout a difficult time. I don't think anyone who needs to hire a lawyer is at the best spot in their life...but the results of good, hard, and organized work , which Marcia provides, definitely eases you along the way. Plus she is kind and easy to talk with, a great choice if you need a lawyer. read more

Marcia has represented me in several instances since 2016 and have always been candid about my options and the risks, costs and timeframes that come with each of them. I appreciate her promptness to act and to keep me updated. Every legal issue in which she represented me was quickly resolved. read more

Marcia is a very professional and responsive lawyer. She not only replied my message very quickly but also provided informative consulting in a very short period of time. Her information is useful and she is able to provide more useful guidance as she gather more information. From my experience with her, she must have great experience in the area and is very trustworthy and accountable. I would highly recommend her. read more

When my son was arrested on his college campus for a BUI (Bicycling Under the Influence) and "misappropriation of abandoned property" we were very stressed. The last thing a 19 year old needs is a criminal record. Ms. Silver is a miracle worker. She called the DA and worked out a solution with him that requires my son to go to neighborhood court and do community service. (I still think there should be some consequences for his actions!) Then the record for the arrest will be sealed so that he won't be impacted for the rest of his life. read more

Have never been in trouble with the law before in my life i had no idea where to even start. Thank goodness i found Marcia on yelp and I thank God I chose her. It's been almost a year since I started as her client. The very first day I called her I remember she was going through a death in her family but still took my call and calmed my nerves. I also felt like she truly did care about me as a person, the results I was hoping for and how I wasn't just her client or a paycheck. Not once did I ever feel neglected or ignored. Since i am not a lawyer or even familiar with verbiage of that sort, I had so many questions. But i could count on her to be there and help me in every way possible and explain it all to help make things clear. You won't be disappointed with her expertise and professionalism. I would definitely recommend her to any of my family, friends, or associates. read more
