Helped me through a difficult time, and avoided a possibly disastrous college year.

Background: I am a cis-gendered male who had a case of a former significant other purporting sexual misconduct by myself. Robin immediately made me feel at ease, her demeanor and her attitude made me feel secure in her experience and qualifications (also getting her as a reference from another trustworthy lawyer helped). She played both legal counselor, and at sometimes sanity check. She prevented a possible expulsion and helped me finish my college career without a criminal record. She was reasonably priced, charged fairly for travel, and never seemed annoyed that she did have to travel. She never hesitated to consult her peers for advice, and explored all the options to every situation. Even after we ended our professional relationship, she had the courtesy to check on me and how I was doing. I appreciated all her work, and would suggest her to anyone in a similar situation.

Life Changer!!

Attorney Malone is the most attentive, compassionate attorney that i ever ever met! She works hard for her clients and fights for what she truly believes they deserve! She was always willing to hear our concerns and find the best ways to mitigate any issues that may arise. She always took the time to listen to and address our concerns! She always responded in a timely manner and always kept me up to date with any changes or new things that may have risen throughout the case. The result of our case truly is a product of her determination, skills, professionalism and her always wanting the most for her clients! I would certainly recommend her services to anyone that is in need of an attorney! She will not give up on the fight and knows how to get whats best for anyone that she represents!

Compassionate & Committed Representation

I made contact with Robin under very distressing circumstances. At that challenging time, she provided timely, compassionate support and guidance, first listening intently to my situation, and then taking prompt action to help navigate a complicated legal matter. Over the following weeks and months, she remained committed, diligent and proactive, working to resolve my case as expeditiously as possible. Robin has a unique ability to be a friend, an advocate and a legal expert, all at once. Her passion and optimism are heartening and her professionalism is second to none. From the outset, Robin provided clear and comprehensive explanations of the legal process. She is fair, honest and thoughtful in her approach, and equally resolute and determined in seeking results. I highly recommend her.
