About

Silva Law Firm on Chula Vista's Third Avenue concentrates on tax litigation, estate planning, and civil disputes under California State Bar license #361482, combining a Juris Doctor from California Western School of Law with an M.B.A. and a B.S. in Finance from California State University, San Marcos. The firm's IRS and Franchise Tax Board resolution work — covering audits, liens, levies, offers in compromise, and criminal tax matters — often requires coordinated bookkeeping cleanup from enrolled-agent practices such as Bayfront Tax Group on the same corridor. Founder Anthony Silva holds dual credentials as both a California-licensed attorney and an IRS Enrolled Agent, with admission to practice before the U.S. Tax Court and the United States District Court for the Southern District of California. Estate-planning engagements involving irrevocable life insurance trusts, grantor retained annuity trusts, and qualified personal residence trusts frequently require coordinated asset titling through financial institutions including Enterprise Bank & Trust. The firm's highest-complexity matters include IRS Offer in Compromise negotiations requiring Form 656 financial analysis, EDD payroll-tax disputes under California Unemployment Insurance Code Section 1735, and contested probate filings involving breach-of-fiduciary-duty claims under California Probate Code Section 16400.
