Phenomenal Attorney
Jim was terrific right out of the gate. My case was a difficult, complex, and up hill battle and it didn't sway him from digging in to find the best possible resolution, which he did. I would highly recommend him.

Great Lawyer!
Anxiety gets the best of you when faced with DUI charges. James Maloney helped alleviate a lot of the stress and managed to get a great plea deal for me. His expertise shows, and this helped me keep my license and driving privileges throughout the course of the case. I feel like a great load has been lifted off of my shoulders and I have him to thank for it! Thanks again for everything!

Absolutely Incredible and Trusted
Mr Maloney is an extremely competent, positive, knowledgeable, attorney whom I’d trust to represent any loved one of mine.
I got my life back because of him, but in such a respectful, dignified, compassionate way. I was immediately calm and at ease. His entire demeanor and complete professionalism are extraordinary. His perfectly groomed and tailored confidence allow him to intertwine with any courtroom and all of its occupants so beautifully, you do a double take when you realize that he is in fact a separate entity…. A person, but not just any person, he’s YOUR person, and you are now enveloped in that safe haven.
Flawless. I was immediately at ease when I realized he had already somehow made his way over to me with a smile… Trust me…. This is your guy.
