Civil Litigation

Litigation and assisting clients in resolving disputes is the cornerstone of our practice. Our civil litigation attorneys in Massachusetts will work with you to identify your goals and develop a winning legal strategy for achieving your best possible outcome.

First, we pursue efficient, creative solutions. We want to streamline your case, reduce costs, and get you back to living life on your terms, quickly. When civil litigation is needed to protect your interests, you’ll have a civil attorney on your side who knows the law, understands the system, and can tailor legal strategies to your situation.

• Commercial and business litigation disputes
  Our attorneys have been helping small businesses in litigation matters for decades. With expertise across sectors, including breach of contract, construction, real estate, employment discrimination, and insurance claims, we deliver mission-critical, cost-effective legal strategies tailored to small businesses.
• Wrongful death claims
  When a life is lost due to the actions of another, the family of the deceased often has a legal right to financial compensation. While no amount of money will bring back a loved one or compensate for their loss, wrongful death claims, verdicts, and settlements provide financial relief—and the peace of mind of knowing consequences have been imposed. Silva & Salinas is here to help.
• Personal injury claims
  We don't "just settle" cases. We gain an edge by preparing for insurance company pushback from day one, as if going to trial is inevitable. We also put local knowledge to use. Unlike national personal injury law firms, we have likely appeared in the court where your case is being heard many times before.
• Professional negligence claims
  Questions of professional negligence can be complicated and confusing, but our Massachusetts civil litigation attorneys can help you understand your unique situation in one free phone call. If you have endured physical, emotional, or financial harm at the hands of a professional, our experienced attorneys will fight for just compensation.

  We’ll help you file or fight a restraining order in Massachusetts. We handle all types of civil restraining order cases, including Massachusetts G.L. c. 209A Abuse Prevention Orders, Massachusetts G.L. c. 258E Harassment Prevention Orders and No Trespass Orders.
• Discrimination claims
