The best there is

Client was out on bond when rearrested. Mr Molloy got his first pending cast resolved in a little over a month and the second in 6 months to the day. He is an excellent attorney and I can’t recommend him enough.

Above and Beyond

Doug and I have been friends for close to thirty years. We met when he was with the DOJ as Federal Prosecutor through a mutual circle of friends. It wasn't until my oldest son needed his expertise and that thirty years of experience on the other side, that led us to a fair and favorable outcome. Be ...careful of all the TV lawyers who have never seen the inside of the courtroom. They would be my last choice when someone you love matters more than anything. Experience Matters!!!

Excellent attorney

It was by divine providence that I retained Douglas Molloy. Knowing he had been chief prosecutor for more than twenty years in the Middle District of Florida, the choice was natural. Who better defend me than a counsel who knows how the opposition thinks? He was succinct and explicit and his predic...tion of the outcome was exact. Post trial he guided you to let you know what was expected of you. Not only were his fiscal methods fair, but also his understanding of your position was most appreciative. Most important: his human traits regarding you, his client, were thoughtful, prudent, intuitive, logical and respectful.

Excellent Attorney

I retained Mr Molloy who was referred to me through a business contact. Mr. Molloy has been nothing but a true professional. His communication about the federal process is spot on as he has been on the "other side" for many years. He is exactly what you want from an attorney, someone who will listen..., communicate and work diligently for the best case scenario on your behalf. The federal process can be long and tedious and Mr Molloy continued with the same determination and dedication from start to finish in my case and I could not have asked for a better attorney. His office has been great to work and very communicative in every step of the way. I look at Mr Molloy as not just another attorney but as a mentor and friend.
