Testimonials
Two years ago I was in a 18-wheeler accident. Thank God for Johnathan being on top of everything that was needed for me and my family. He’s a good person, in and out, and as a lawyer made sure I was well taken care of. I am forever grateful. I highly recommend J.D. Silva & Associates if you want to be treated right!
No accident is too big or too small; if you are needing a professional to take care of your case this is the man for the job! My accident happened in Clute TX, a small city in Brazoria County. I didn’t think I would get the help I needed, but thankfully I came across J.D. Silva & Associates to take care of me in my time of need! Very helpful!
Had an accident about a year ago in Louisiana with a Texas woman that hit me from behind. I quickly called Johnathan and he got right on the case. I felt like I was his only client from the attentiveness and the time he spent to ensure I was okay. He made my case hassle free with all the doctor appointments and scans. I can’t say how thankful I was to go with Johnathan; he really treats people like family. I would not hesitate to call him if was to ever get in an accident. And after it was all said and done with my therapy and my health I got a good lump sum. Thanks Johnathan, you keep being the best man, God bless.
