TESTIMONIALS

"Before Siraj was on my case, I was facing up to 10-12 months in jail for motor insurance fraud and I was prepared to PG. Siraj helped to write to Prosecution with all the documents about my family situation which made me offend and about the delay in investigations. Siraj convinced Prosecution to ask for a 3-month jail sentence instead and I am able to move on with my life faster."

MH
20 September 2020Criminal Defence (Fraud Case)

"I claimed to trial for 2 charges over a road rage incident. Siraj went into every detail of the incident from the measurements of my vehicle to the distance from where the other party was causing damage to my vehicle. He took the effort to come down after office hours to do a re-enactment of what happened. Documentation was well-prepared before court hearing. I was prepared for my trial. In the end, I got acquitted for one charge and the other charge was reduced for which I only paid a fine."

SHD
20 September 2020 Traffic Offence

"I was facing 2 charges for hitting and insulting a police officer when drunk which will normally mean a jail term. Siraj helped me to write to Prosecution to ask for a warning with conditions and he advised me on the documents I needed to prepare. I got a warning letter in the end. Thanks a lot for your past help!"

"I was facing 1 CDSA charge and 9-10 months jail before Siraj from Silvester Legal LLC was assigned to my case. Siraj helped me write to Prosecution and get them to agree to probation even though I was an adult. I am grateful for his assistance and for giving me a second chance in life to change."

"Mr Siraj help me through my most difficult times of my life. He defended me whole heartedly. He is patient and show me a lot of concern. He will go through every single detail and ask me for opinion. Thank you for defending me."

"Mr Siraj took on my son’s case pro bono from June to December 2019. He is an empathetic and competent lawyer and had spent much time explaining to me the intricacies of the court proceedings. He also took much time to advise and to update me on his mitigation plan as well as to seek clarification from the IMH psychiatrist for a better report on my son’s condition. My son is doing well in his probation."
