I can't speak highly enough of my attorney; Christine A Maltby. She was appointed on 4/30/19, by the Quincy court, to represent me; as my defense attorney, in a criminal case. From our introduction and through several court appearances; ending on 10/11/19, Christine was always respectful, pati...ent, sympathetic and very knowledgeable. She helped me through perhaps the worst five plus months of my life. Each time we had to appear in court, Christine would explain to me exactly what would happen, what I should do and say and more importantly; what I shouldn't do or say. Christine helped me to navigate the criminal court system; which I had no previous experience with. She answered my seemingly endless questions patiently and thoroughly. She was very sympathetic to the fact that this whole process was completely foreign to me and overwhelmingly stressful. The trait I would stress and praise the most is the fact that on our last court date, 10/11/19, Christine went completely above and beyond what her job as my defense attorney required; even while dealing with a personal family tragedy. I had Christine whether I would get blank motion forms at the clerk's office or at the probation office. (I was trying to get approval for changes to the terms of my probation.) The next thing I know, Christine is filling-out the motion form for me so that we could possibly get the motion heard that same day! I'm absolutely positive that without Christine going the extra mile and her legal expertise, the outcome would not have been as incredibly positive for me. An outcome I hadn't even thought was possible! Christine got the judge to agree that I did not have to complete community service due to several chronic health conditions. Then she got the judge to agree to waive the monthly probation fee. Then she got the judge and a representative from the Quincy probation office to agree that a letter from my PCP could be substituted for a mental health assessment which my health insurance company wouldn't pay for and that I couldn't afford to pay for. The most surprising and astounding part of the day is when she got the judge to agree to change my probation from supervised to administrative which means I no longer need to meet with my probation officer or have him conduct a home visit! This was not something I had even dared hope for when the day began. I would recommend Christine Maltby as an attorney to anyone who needs a criminal defense attorney and wants to be treated with respect, sympathy, kindness, patience and a client who wants someone very knowledgeable of criminal law and is able to navigate the complicated court system with ease. Most importantly, Christine will go above and beyond what is required of her in order to help her client as much as possible!

Exceeded expectations

Couldn't have asked for a better attorney or better results. Christine Maltby defended me in a recent criminal case, which resulted in the best possible outcome. She was always available to talk or answer any questions I had about my case, and really made sure I knew exactly what was going on at all ...times. She is very respected in the courtroom, and most definitely feared. I felt like I was finally in good hands, as she stood up for me and my character. I highly recommend this attorney and would go out of my way to hire again if ever needed. Overall, she's excels at her job. A+

Highly recommend

I can not even begin to tell you how great of an attorney Christine is. I went from feeling defeated with my other attorney to feeling completely confident. She looked at me as a person and not just another case. She explained all of my options in detail so that I fully understood and made sure that ...I never felt pressured on decision making. Super knowledgeable is an understatement. Thank you again

Knowledgeable and prepared

Due to unforeseen circumstances I recently hired Attorney Maltby on a criminal case. I was referred to her by a friend. I was impressed by her knowledge and leaned that attorney Maltby Used to work as a prosecutor. I have found her to be a good advocate and knowledgeable on the law and procedures in... a courtroom. She is well versed on Massachusetts criminal law and procedures. Also I found that she has been very honest about the potential outcomes of my case. I would definitely refer her others.

Great representation.

Attorney Maltby Recently helped me out of a jam that could’ve had a significant impact on my life. She has unique insight in to the court system but I feel sets her above many others. The entire experience was a bit overwhelming but attorney Maltby kept me in the loop through the whole process and ...made everything as smooth as possible. Hopefully this was just a one time situation For me, but I would recommend her to family and friends if needed.
