Car Accident 10%

Despite major advances in auto safety, motorists and pedestrians still suffer life-changing injuries from collisions. Tractor-trailer trucks are still highly dangerous to many other travelers because of overworked and underpaid truck drivers pushing beyond their physical limits. Cars turning into crosswalks are another special danger to pedestrians. We represent consumers in these and all types of motor vehicle accidents.

Defective and Dangerous Products 10%

Serious injuries caused by defects in vehicles, consumer products, drugs, medical devices and other products usually can be traced back to poor design or manufacturing errors. We represent injured consumers in lawsuits that get to the bottom of what happened and help make sure it doesn't happen to anyone else.

Wrongful Death 10%

Death to a family member caused by someone else's negligence is a special blow unlike other causes of death. Our firm understands this and works closely with families who have lost loved ones to find out what happened and bring some measure of justice to the situation. No amount of money can bring back a dead family member, but a lawsuit can do a lot of good to protect the public and to honor the deceased person.

Litigation 5%

We represent clients in serious disputes with their former attorneys and former accountants. These professional malpractice lawsuits require careful analysis to determine if a successful claim can be brought.

Amazing.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Al Clarke for several years while the office of Patrick Malone & Associates handled a complex medical malpractice case for my father. Prior to meeting Al and Pat, our case had already been underway for a couple of years with another firm, and it was in need... of additional expertise and resources. Despite being faced with the unprecedented challenges of litigating during the Covid-19 pandemic, Al’s patience and tenacity were unwavering. He worked intensively with the defense council and negotiated a settlement. The final outcome provided us with a great deal of closure and consolation. It was a long road, but Al was certainly the best travel partner anyone could ask for.

Excellent top-quality firm!

Patrick Malone & Associates demonstrates professionalism and dedication to all of their clients. I would highly recommend their legal services to anyone seeking representation for personal injury relief in the DC area. I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Daniel Scialpi who pursued fair compensatio...n to my case resulting in a desirable financial outcome. He stayed aggressive fighting on my behalf for over 2 years to help win the case. Although my case was quite unique and challenging, he never gave up showing true compassion for the unfortunate impact my injury had to my long-term health. It it with genuine appreciation, that I thank the firm at large for their incredible efforts. They will always fight for their clients to receive the compensation they deserve. Top-notch firm!

Patrick Malone Is the Gold Standard in Medical Malpractice Litigation

Recently, I had the distinct pleasure of co-counseling a medical malpractice case with Patrick Malone. It is an understatement to say that he, along with his entire organization, epitomize what it means to work tirelessly on behalf of negligently injured people. Patrick is a team player, highly inte...lligent, brings the best analytical tools and experts to your case and aggressively pursues strategies that are based on analytics, research, years of experience and his sense of what is right.....to put your case on a path to success. I learned a lot from Patrick Malone and look forward to working with him again soon!

Fierce

Patrick Malone and Daniel Scialpi are fierce advocates for discovering what happened and how it happened. They are attorneys with determination to represent those truly wronged and instigate change by the providers to prevent repeat instants. they conducted a methodical and thorough investigatio...n by medical experts to obtain the facts. Worked with us through out the legal process and were willing to listen to our concerns and incorporated salient points of our perspective into the claim. Pat and Dan applied their expert knowledge and skills to our case and managed us and our case masterfully. Our claim was successfully settled before filing a lawsuit!!

An excellent experience suing after an injury

Patrick Malone, and specifically the attorney I worked with, Mr. Scialpi, were extremely helpful in working with my on my case. Mr. Scialpi was tireless and patient in strategizing with me about how to approach the case, while being candid and professional in offering his advice. The quality of s...ervice from him and the staff was consistently high for the two years my case was active, until the conclusion of the settlement. I could not recommend more highly.

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.
