Oakland Criminal Defense Lawyer

Silver Law Firm is a criminal defense practice in Oakland led by attorney Elliot Silver, who has more than 30 years of experience and has taken more than 50 jury trials to verdict. The firm handles DUI, drug, assault, theft, weapons, sex crime, homicide and juvenile cases, along with federal charges and expungements. Its approach is to prepare every case as if it will go to trial, which the firm says puts pressure on prosecutors to reduce or drop charges.

Clients can bring the firm in during an investigation, after an arrest, or through final disposition and any appeals. Attorneys Marshall Hammons and Keenan Webb also defend clients, and senior paralegal Rogelio Maravilla works on criminal, immigration and post-conviction matters. Spanish is spoken, and the firm also takes cases in Berkeley, San Jose, Fremont and other Bay Area cities. The office is in Oakland.
