The Mayor in the Courts

When hiring a legal professional, an individual must do their homework, it's your neck that will be on the line. I had an alleged 3rd DUI that put me through rough times for almost 3 years, until I hired Robert Malove. My first attorney on the case, almost handed me over to the State. My second at...torney a Public Defendant, had little experience or fight, especially when the State turned the case from Misdemeanor to Felony DUI. Then, I hired Rob to take over the wheel. From the beginning, things started turning around, he commands respect in the court room, and knows people in the system personally. My case was not an easy one to work out, I made prior mistakes and hired the wrong people to handle the previous cases. One thing I must mention here is, if you're attorney is not willing to turn over every stone in your possible benefit, you've hired the wrong person. The State wants heads to roll, it is their ultimate goal. Unless of course, you have Rob on your side. He got a case that could have taken me through more difficult times, down to a result I can actually live with: 3rd Felony DUI down to Misdemeanor Reckless Driving. I also want to commend his partner Carlos, who assisted on the case along the way, it was a team effort. If you want the best possible outcome, and sound advice, this is the man and team to hire. You didn't just save me, you saved my family.

Outstanding Work!

Dear Robert, Thanks again for your outstanding work in this case. When we first talked about I didn't think there was much hope. It was a truly desperate situation, and I was just going forward on determination. But you were able to arrange things so that we could cancel a deal that I had been mis...lead by another attorney into signing. I was ready to start all over and risk going to jail in order to fight the charges. It turned out that you were able to get them changed to something I could live with, and more accurately reflected what actually happened. It was really a much better outcome than I was expecting, and I can't tell you how relieved I am. I've been so impressed by your diligence and professionalism, also that I could reach you when I needed to. I wish I could go into specifics, but keeping things quiet has been the point all along. I know many other people are in a similar situation. They have a legal problem that they need resolved efficiently and dependably, because the stakes are so high. Maybe they did something wrong, but not what they have been accused of, and because of one mistake things have gotten totally out of hand. They need someone they can depend on, not a lawyer who will take their money but who doesn't know what they're doing, or doesn't care. Without a doubt I would recommend you to anyone in this situation. I've had good lawyers, and I've had bad, and I know you're one of the best. Thanks again, and all the best. D.

Successful DUI Defense

I couldn't be happier with the represention provided by Mr. Malove. He is professional and leaves you feeling confident that you are in good hands. His experience is evident in his navigation of the legal process. Not long after my charge, I moved out of state and Mr. Malove represented me remotel...y. This was scary because I expected my attorney to "forget" me. This couldn't have been further from the truth. He and his office diligently kept me abreast of progress and made it feel like a connected partnership. In my case, he devised a strategy that slowed the proceedings to create an advantage for our defense. He also meticulously exploited errors and ommissions by the arresting officer. His strategy worked. The judge threw out all of my charges. I couldn't have been more happy with Mr. Malove and his work. He's also a very likebale guy too!

Best lawyer for my situation

I am so pleased and grateful, Rob (he doesn't like being called Robert lol) was referred to me through a friend of a friend. My case was dropped in July 2016, a few days before my birthday and I couldn't have been happier. Rob was the best choice for my situation. He did his job very well and is als...o well known and respected. Ive never been in this situation with the law before and I was scared, confused and nervous so I kept trying to stay on top of Rob and called constantly for updates. Rob expressed to me that I hired him for a reason and to trust that he'll do his job. I began to realize that if Rob didn't call me, for the most part there was nothing new to report. Rob did his job very well and you will definitely be in good hands. Don't jeopardise your freedom with poor representation. Rob is worth his service and definitely your time. Thanks a million Rob.

2nd DUI, Possession Cannabis less than

Dear Reader, I would like to share my experience in hopes that it will help you make an important decision in this difficult time. I had gone out with a friend for a couple of drinks at a local bar, and I'm pretty sure now based onthings other things I have read online about him, this officer watches... people pull out of this bar and pulls them over for a made up reason to look for a DUI. So the officer says I was speeding, immediately sticks his head in my window and begins his pressure tactics. I tell him the truth that I had 2 beers and he asks me to step out and perform the road side tests. He uses several tactics to make me nervous, and confused so I look intoxicated, but despite that, I felt I performed well. Even so, he arrests me, and asks me to do the breathalyzer, which I refused because of my previous experience. I don't trust those things. So, I spend the night in jail, and the nightmare begins. Do I fight this? Do I have a chance? Will I just be spending more time and money? I decide that I'm right in this instance so I'm going to fight it, and begin looking for an Attorney on several websites. A few caught my eye based on area of expertise, years of experience, and reviews. So I chose Robert Malove. I called the number, and surpsingly, HE answered the phone, not an assistant or an answering service. He made me feel at ease, and I agreed to go in for a consultation, we went over what happened and he said he thought we had a good chance, but needed to see the video among other things to have a better idea. So I decided to hire him, after 2 weeks you lose your license from the DMV regardless pending a hearing with the DMV. After about 2 and a half months Mr. Malove went to the hearing to represent me and I thought there was no chance of winning it, that usually doesn't happen unless the officer made a mistake or something, but somehow Mr.Malove pulled it off, he called me and told me to go get my license, not a permit, MY ACTUAL LICENSE WITH NO RESTRICTIONS. Now prior to this I was getting nervous that nothing was being done, and I may have wasted my money and end up pleading guilty to get it over with, but after Mr Malove pulled that off, I decided to put my faith in him and let the chips fall where the may. Few months went by, I went in to watch the video with Mr.Malove, he said I looked fine so we're gonna fight it. A year went by, few more month's went by and I was hoping the court lost my case, but they didn't, and a date was set for hearing. Mr. Malove filed a motion to supress evidence, stating that I shouldn't have been arrested since I performed the tests well enough. After hearing the officer tell his side of the case, and the prosicuter give her statements, I thought again that I was doomed, but after Mr.Malove gave his cross examination, the judge ruled in our favor and the rest is history, without the video, they had no case, ALL CHARGES DROPPED. Hiring Robert Malove was the best decision I've ever made, other than marrying my wife of course!
