I fight for people accused of crimes in courtrooms around the Bay Area.
Fatima Silva
Fatima Silva is a trial attorney dedicated to her clients. As a litigator, she fights for people accused of crimes in courtrooms around the Bay Area. Her successes and devotion have led to her being selected to star on the TV show “Reasonable Doubt”, where she partnered up with a homicide detective to help families whose loved ones have been convicted of murder. Reasonable Doubt ran for five seasons and Ms. Silva's work on the show helped secure the release of 9 inmates.
Fatima Silva is a Bay Area native. After attending law school in New York, she returned to California to work closely with James V. McGrail, a top defense attorney who was a former sheriff and a prosecutor. After several years and following the passing of her mentor, Ms. Silva started her own firm, Silva Law which she has run successfully for over 10 years. She joins Morris Law with a broad experience in criminal defense, from trial work to negotiations. She has earned the respect of prosecutors and judges from throughout the Bay Area as a tenacious advocate.
When she is not advocating in the courtroom or producing a true-crime podcast, Ms. Silva is busy giving back to her community. She serves on the Board of the New Haven Schools Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to funding scholarships, and supporting academic programs. Ms. Silva also teaches young people in the Upward Bound program, and trial skills to competitors of the San Francisco and Alameda County Mock Trial Competition.
