Sania is a passionate attorney inspired by a deep-rooted commitment to serving clients from urban and low-income communities. With a 2010 B.A. in Legal Studies from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, Sania went on to earn a J.D. from New England Law School in 2014, where she focused on immigration law. She began her career by representing insurance companies and litigating cases related to personal injury, premises liability and construction disputes. Within three years, Sania became a partner at Alves Santos P.C. in 2017, providing legal presentation surrounding real estate transactions and personal injury claims.

Sania’s launch of her law firm, Silva Santos PC in 2023 was motivated by her own parents’ challenges as they navigated a complex court system made all the more difficult by a language barrier. People in this situation need exceptional, sympathetic legal guidance. Sania’s purpose is to guide clients through the decision-making processes of their cases and help them regain their sense of empowerment. She knows how meaningful securing a substantial settlement can be for hard-working families like her own, creating real opportunities for the future through education and homeownership.

As a native Cape Verdean, Sania has assisted many Cape Verdean Creole speakers in and around the Boston metropolitan area, helping them successfully engage with the legal process. A board member of the Massachusetts Black Lawyer’s Association since 2022, she currently acts as coordinator of the “Know Your Rights” seminar series in the Boston area.

Sania is most fulfilled when she’s helping injured clients tell their story in a way that vividly captures their experience and earns them a just settlement, and when she’s guiding clients in real estate transactions to create generational assets. Aside from her work in the community and the legal profession, she finds joy in working out, spending time with family, exploring the world with friends, becoming a role model for young women, and continuing to defy the status quo.
