I was referred to Mr. Maloof by a trusted attorney friend who had learned that I might need assistance with a significant speeding citation. Mr. Maloof represented me in such a way that I did not have to take time away from work to appear in court and allowed me to avoid points on my otherwise pristi...ne driving record. He was knowledgeable, thoughtful and responsive.

Rude and unprofessional. I came to him for a xanax and marijuana possession case (second possession charge) after being referred by a couple different people that told me good things. Told me my case "wasn't worth his time" and that he was unable to work with me on a payment plan because "people in ...recovery" are "untrustworthy".. Unless I paid the full amount before my first court date, which was less than 2 weeks after I was incarcerated, and only days after I attempted to hire Mr. Maloof. He told me that he " would think about it" when I asked him if he could work with 1000 down payment and weekly or bi weekly payments after that. Absolutely shocked that thousands of dollars isnt worth his time, and that he would make a general assumption that because I was referred by people I met at an AA meeting, that he "couldnt trust me with a payment plan", even with almost half of the payment down. Made me feel completely disrespected, made it very clear that he had no interest in representing me and came off as narcissistic and rude. Also, the attitude shift came after I mentioned the name of one of the people who referred me, who I found out had a small argument with a few nights before, when he simply contacted mike to tell him I would be calling him about my case the next morning. He told him he was selfish for texting too late in the evening, and that he doesnt offer free legal advice, that people have to pay if they want to ask a question (which absolutely was the intention anyways since I was planning on paying him $3500).
