Life Saver!
I have hired Malcolm for all my legal needs in Florida, and believe me I've had my fair share. I came to Malcolm with a major problem. I only had one shot at hiring a good lawyer. My money was limited and my charges were serious. I had tried to find a cheap lawyer in St. Augustine and ended up wa...

Hire someone else!
Terrible attorney! I hired him twice in one year 2010. The first time paying around $1000 to avoid a suspension. Malcolm spent no time discussing or meeting with me on this matter. Specifically which tickets he would go after to have those points removed to prevent the suspension. He chose how to ha...
It always seems like the people you do the most for are the ones who complain the loudest. Remember, this client's post is about traffic tickets. This individual makes three complaints. One, he claims we were responsible for a 30 days suspension. We are only the lawyer, not the judge. We removed a 6 month suspension at his request; the judge left the 30 day suspension in place. Two, he claims his fine increased in a traffic ticket case, so he should have saved $50 (remember, we are talking about a $50 lawyer fee for a simple traffic ticket). He requested we make sure there were no points, even if there were a fine increase or a driving school involve because of potential suspensions. He agreed to this in writing. In order to get no points with his abysmal driving record, the judge increased the fine and ordered driving school. Third, he claims we refused to make it right and redeem ourselves by taking his next case. This client was unhappy the first two times we did what he wanted. We felt he would be better off with another lawyer.
"I endorse Malcolm whole-heartedly in the area of criminal defense. As a former prosecutor and now defense attorney, he knows exactly how the system works and he will go the extra mile for his clients. I, particularly, recommend him for DUI charges and clearing up driving records because he is one of the few lawyers in the greater Jacksonville area that truly understands the intricacies fixing any and all driver license issues."
"I endorse this lawyer. Malcolm is a fantastic attorney. I have sent him numerous cases in the counties of his practice. He is professional, ethical and is a great lawyer. I highly recommend him if you or one of your loved ones has a pending criminal matter."
"Criminal defense can drive anyone nuts! And it takes an extraordinary talent to understand and then properly handle disputes involving criminal defense laws. You need someone who is remarkably smart and adept at understanding the in's and out's of the laws that most lawyers hate to deal with as much as the average person does too. With praise from his clients and attorneys who know here, along with his dozens and dozens of well written published answers to questions at Avvo.com, you can tell he knows the law and how to deal with it. If you have a question about criminal defense, he is your answer. Period. I recommend him to you."
"Without hesitation, I recommend Malcolm. He is an excellent lawyer and person. Do not hesitate to call on him if legal trouble finds you."
"I endorse this lawyer's work and have tried many cases with him throughout the years. He is thorough and well versed."
"Malcolm has represented many of the individuals our firm has referred to him. He is prompt, thorough, professional and gets excellent results for his clients. We have found that Malcolm cares about his clients and tries to achieve results in the Courts that help his clients for their entire lives. He is a true professional and great person. I give him an unqualified endorsement."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Malcolm is well known in the community as a very ethical and highly competent criminal defense lawyer. He can be trusted to do the job honorably and well."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. I have over the years made referrals to Malcolm Anthony and my former clients have reported to me how pleased they were in his handling of their criminal matter. Malcolm is repected and well liked in our community and I will continue to recommend Malcolm when any client has needs for his services."
