WHO WE ARE

Silva & Associates is a private investigation company located in the Bitterroot Valley, serving all of Montana with a primary focus catering to professional clients located in and around Ravalli County. The firm is owned by Joseph A. Silva who offers over 44 years of investigative experience, 30 years of which were in a law enforcement capacity specializing in fire investigation, home and auto insurance fraud investigation, as well as employment background and internal affairs investigations. We offer both, investigative services, as well as process service. We are licensed with the State of Montana, insured and bonded, and have investigative affiliates serving Northern California.

OUR METHODS

We assess each case according to the merits, prior to acceptance.

After assessing your case, upon request, we will

estimate the anticipated time and expense necessary to bring the case to conclusion and we will not exceed the projected cost unless we receive prior approval from our clients. A retainer may be required prior to service depending on the anticipated extent of the investigation. At the conclusion of the case, we will provide a detailed invoice of all charges, indicating any balance due, or if a retainer was required, provide a refund of any excess retainer funds.

Due to our low overhead, our costs for investigative and process services are very competitive, yet we offer professional, experienced, investigative services, and conclude our investigation providing a thorough investigative report, tailored to our client(s) need.

Please note: With over 44 years of public safety service and experience, 30 plus years of which as a State certified law enforcement officer, Silva & Associates is committed to supporting our local law enforcement and first responders, and therefore will not be interested in assisting in any criminal defense cases.

WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT US

Joe was a complete professional and did an incredibly thorough job with the assignment. As someone who has been in the investigative industry for 15+ years, I can tell you that Joe is one of the good ones. I will use him again any time I have a need in Montana.
