DUI case & traffic violations
When I contacted Malcolm, I was overwhelmed dealing with a DUI charge that I had neglected to fully take care of for almost 3 years, along with quite a few issues involving my drivers license. I was almost sure there was nothing anyone could do for me but some friends convinced me to hire a lawyer. During the consultation, Malcolm was realistic about what he could do for my case and knew exactly what he was talking about. He and I went to court and he was very kind and did a great job of keeping me in the loop of what was going to happen in the courtroom and what to expect. He did all of the communicating for me, the only thing I had to do was stand in front of a judge for all of 5 minutes. He attended another court hearing for me, which I was not even required to appear at. I felt he put in a great amount of effort and time towards my case and it was always easy to contact his office when I had questions, and his price was very reasonable for the amount of work he had to put in for my case. He has been so understanding and flexible with payments as well, as I was not able to pay everything immediately. I would 100% recommend Malcolm to anyone! He exceeded all expectations I had when I first contacted him.

Best attorney in Ponte Vedra Beach FL
Malcolm and his team kept pushing my case thru the court system for 9 months and kept me patient and calm in his pursuit of success for my future - he is caring and personable and understands the system like nobody else and does not treat you simply as a revenue stream - I am forever grateful for him and Beverly - he truly is the miracle worker in closing my case with the minimums and a misdemeanor - I didn't see any hope last year and anyone would be foolish to look anywhere else other than Malcolm Anthony and his firm

DUI Marijuana possession over 28 grams
Anthony was amazing, I have never been arrested before and it really was a traumatizing experience. Not only being in jail, having this overwhelming feeling of not knowing what my future would be like moving forward. From the beginning of my case Anthony had spoken to me like we were family, he was fully transparent on what he intended to do for my case while having me fully understand the worse case scenario’s as well. Anthony was able to get me a plea agreement to have my felony possession charge disposed and transferred my DUI for Marijuana to County Court (Misdemeanor only). From there he was able to not only get my speeding ticket dismissed, he got my DUI reduced to reckless driving!! He is spectacular, I would recommend him to anyone that needs an experienced, knowledgeable, and informative attorney.

One of the top Lawyers in Florida, not just the First Coast!
Malcolm is a highly skilled litigator, and no matter the legal quandary he finds a way to make the law work for you in a just and fair manner. He handled a ridiculously complicated case in which there seemed little hope of actual justice. His legal mind is uniquely qualified when dealing with complicated DWI cases which is an area that frankly his expertise is unmatched any where on the First Coast and likely Florida for that matter. I would highly recommend this attorney. He stays on top of your case, keeps all parties informed and works tirelessly on his client's behalf until the case is dismissed or won. Do yourself a favor and end your worries if you find yourself in jeopardy...call Malcolm Anthony.

He is worth every penny and will keep you informed every step of the way. He does not settle and will look at your case from every possible angle to provide the absolute best outcome. It was the best decision I ever made to hire Mr. Malcolm Anthony. I cannot recommend him enough.

Best DUI Attorney in NE FLA
Malcolm Anthony, Ponte Vedra Beach, FL based Attorney, did an Outstanding Job of advising my Son through a DUI Arrest and the resulting Court proceedings. The results were simply beyond our expectations. Not only was my Son found to be NOT GUILTY at Trial, but the Judge also waived the Reckless Drive Charge. It was evident to me throughout the entire process that we had hired the Right Guy to help us navigate this difficult time.

Malcolm knows how and when to do what needs to be done. He got my DUI case dropped.
I was arrested for DUI but one of the officers stole some money from my car. When I told Malcolm about it, he questioned me and began to work on the case. Eventually, the sheriff’s office did a sting operation and confirmed the officer was taking money from people getting arrested for DUI. Malcolm kept telling me to be patient as he worked on my case. He worked with the State and the investigators to confirm the bad officer’s behavior. When the officer got arrested, Malcolm went into full lawyer mode and got the case dropped. His timing is unbelievable. His knowledge of the system and the players is peerless. He exceeded my expectations.

Review/Recommendation for Malcolm Anthony
I hired Malcolm when I got arrested for a DUI. It had been the worst day of my life ending up in jail. The case took a long time to develop, but Mr. Anthony never charged more for the time it took. Malcolm was very good at responding to calls even in the evening from me and from my sister who was helping me through this. Eventually the case went to trial. Malcolm calmly sat with me through the two days and did amazing trial work. There was a video that was played. After Malcolm gave his closing argument for me, the jury deadlocked, which meant we had to go to trial again. Malcolm explained that the second trial is usually unfavorable because the State knows how we will handle our defense. Malcolm only charged me one trial fee; he did the second trial at no charge. At the beginning of the trial, Malcolm kept the video out of evidence. I was found NOT GUILTY! Malcolm told the jury that I had the worst day of my life that day and asked them to give me a good day with a not guilty verdict. It was a good day, thanks to the amazing work Mr. Anthony did for me. He will not give up on you.

Peace of mind after a horrible ordeal
I cannot say enough good things about Malcolm. I was the victim of a road rage incident where the perpetrator had a family member pose as a "unbiased witness". They gave a completely false story to the police. I thought my case was hopeless because it was two people's stories against mine. But... I knew the truth and ultimately decided I had to fight this. I did a lot of researching in to St Johns County based lawyers before making my decision. Malcolm has 38 five-star reviews on Avvo, so he obviously made the short list of people to call. Malcolm called me personally after I submitted a consultation request online. I spoke with him for close to 45 minutes about what happened and he gave me immediate advice without ever mentioning a fee. By the end of our conversation, I immediately knew he would be my lawyer. There were times when I would contact him because I was scared / anxious. I also did not want to have to see the person in court because I was afraid of him and he lived in my neighborhood. Malcolm took that weight off of me. Everything related to the crash was handled by him. I never had to speak to another person. Malcolm overcame incredible odds and the result of his work was even better than what I had initially hoped. He is an excellent lawyer, and he is honest with his clients about what he can realistically do for them. You will see this at your first meeting with him. If you choose Malcolm, you can be sure that you have picked an extremely competent, experienced attorney who will fight for you. Malcolm has earned a lifetime client. No matter how major or minor the legal matter may seem... pick Malcolm. It will be the best investment you could possibly make for your peace of mind.

DUI
A family member was arrested on a DUI charge. Being new to the area I reached out to a friend who recommended Malcolm as the best in PVB for this circumstance. He was on the phone with me within a half hour and talked me through the process of getting the person out of jail. We met the next day and discussed the subsequent process and expectations. He delivered on his representations and exceeded ours. He is clearly well known and respected by the prosecutors and judiciary. This was a troublesome time and we needed a friend and a counselor. He was both. I can easily recommend him.

Great Attorney
I was charged with an offense I did not commit. The public defender tried to convince me to plead guilty. I thought I was going to have a criminal record. Malcolm believed in me. Took time on my case and the charges were dropped! If you need help Malcolm is a great attorney. I recommend him to everyone I know!

Very Fast and Amazing communication!
My husband received a speeding ticket crossing the Buckman. We live in Palm Coast so did not want to drive into town. We called Malcolm after 5 and he answered, which was amazing. We gave him the basic information and less than a week later he had already went to court and my husband has no points so there will be no impact on our insurance! for $70 we saved hundreds over the next couple years! thank you Mr. Anthony!

Helpful and responsive
Malcolm Anthony helped with a speeding ticket my son had gotten. He took care of the matter quickly and kept us informed of the process. I've worked with other lawyers in the past who ignored email and voicemail messages I sent. Malcolm always got back to me quickly with complete information. I really appreciates his help and the quick turn around time.

DUI resolved
Malcolm Anthony wasn't the first lawyer I talked with concerning my case. During the free consultation, I knew I had found a lawyer that was going to go to bat for me. I hired him on the spot. He ran with the case and resolved it very much to my liking. For sure talk with Malcolm before you put your money down on a lawyer.
