I have rarely encountered a lawyer with the zeal, knowledge, and bravery of this attorney. I have known Mr. Mallonee for over ten years and have referred him many cases over that time. I have always received positive feedback from the clients I have sent his way. This attorney is all about results!

I have a ton of respect for Brian. I worked against him on many matters when I was a Prosecutor in Fort Pierce, Florida and always knew him to be prepared, knowledgeable, and passionate about representing his clients. After I made the transistion to handling criminal defense cases I routinely sought out his advice and was always impressed with his willingness to assist me and others with the common goal of trying to seek out justice for our clients. Brian is an extremely good lawyer. I would recommend Brian for any of your criminal defense needs without any hesitation.

In the course of my practice I have had the opportunity to handle cases both with and against Mr. Mallonee. He strives to be and succeeds at being one of the most highly regarded and well read lawyers in the area in his chosen field. I heartily endorse this lawyer.

Brian is a tireless advocate for his clients. He works hard and continues to fight until the job is done. He is at home both inside the courthouse arguing cases to a jury and in front of his computer researching and writing winning legal motions. This dual skill set exhibited by Brian is a rare and winning combination.
