Don't get into trouble...

Mr. Maloney handled this case well. I had no idea what to expect, he explained everything , my anxiety was relieved, he explained everything wonderfully easy to understand. I'm hopeful and sure everything will turn out well in this case.

Why you should hire Jim Maloney

From the very start of the process I knew that I made the correct choice by hiring this firm. From our first correspondence they made me feel comfortable and they made me feel important. Mr James Maloney is truly at the top of his field. He knew the laws better than than my judge and prosecutor. He w...orked diligently on getting my 4 charges dismissed. He filed motions of dismissal on more than one occasion. He stuck with it diligently for 18 months and got all my charges dismissed. He was a true professional throughout the whole process. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to him. I would hardily recommend him and his firm. True professionals.

Phenomenal DWI Defense Attorney

Very responsive in regards to all questions I had throughout the entire duration of my case. He was able to reduce my second DWI into a DWAI which seemed like a huge stretch before I started working Mr. Maloney. Phenomenal defense attorney during Trial. Would recommend for anyone taking on DWI charge...s

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
