Attorney for Divorce

I retained Trey Marlbrough as my divorce attorney and was 100% satisfied with his work. He kept his word for everything he said would do. Divorce is hard and I am thankful that I chose him as my attorney. He is organized and his assistant was always helpful.

Divorce overseas

I'm a soldier stationed overseas formerly married to another soldier here and we have 1 child together. When I wanted to file for divorce I called many other law firms in Alabama but I was told it couldn't be done just to wait till I go back to the states (who knows when that will be) or I needed to ...pay a consultation fee first before I got any information. One lawfirm even hung up on me. When I called the The Malbrough Firm, I spoke to Trey Malbrough's paralegal Melinda. She was very kind and explained the process of getting divorced to me. She emailed me all the information needed from me and through email correspondence I was able to pay them and receive the documents that I needed to mail to them to file for divorce. Even when I hit a snag in the child support amount with my ex, Trey called me personally and discussed how it is calculated and even offered to explain it to my husband at the time. I was able to get the divorce in a timely manner and The Malbrough Firm made it incredibly easy for me. This was my first time ever needing a lawyer and I am glad I chose Trey Malbrough, I will definitely call him if I ever need a lawyer again.

Brilliant Lawyer, So Grateful I Received a Referral to Him

I recommend Trey all the time--to friends and colleagues to strangers I happen to connect with in casual conversation. In fact, that's how I heard of him. I made a connection with someone who was receiving his services in a divorce case and she told me he was brilliant and she was enjoying working wi...th him. Several months later I was in a car accident. I spoke to several lawyers in depth and felt discouraged by their dispassion. I ran into the person who referred me to him again and she gave me his card. She also gave me the update on her case and from that point on I was determined to have Trey as my attorney. My car accident was devastating...I was in physical therapy for nine months in excruciating pain. There was no part of my life that was not damaged or affected by it. I was overwhelmed by everything and needed a lawyer, someone who I could rely on to take care of the problem for me, to advocate for me. Trey took over immediately. One thing that is unique about Trey is that you get his direct number. I never spoke to or was even aware if he had a receptionist. I could call him or text himwhenever I needed to and received a prompt response. He had and has many cases, but you will feel like you are his only client. He called me on weekends and late in the evening--he seemed to always be working on MY case. I did not have to worry about anything. Trey already had it covered. He was very knowledgable and let me offer input, as well as ask any question I needed to, even if it was something very obvious. He had tremendous patience, is very likeable, confident, reassuring and proactive. I had total faith in Trey from the outset and he never gave me a moment's concern. Another thing every client Trey has will notice about him is that he is a master chess player in legal maneuvering. As far as advocating for you, Trey will stack the deck in your favor and consider all angles in advance. Whenever we would speak, he had an update for me. The updates were always something interesting and positive. I was impressed with his genius, but the next time I spoke to him, he'd done even better in negotiating than I had expected from the last time I spoke to him. He seem surprised by my reaction...Trey is very humble and I don't think he realizes how clever he truly is. Butt I do know that Trey is brilliant and I know he enjoys his job. I think it's obvious that Trey's drive to help people brings him joy and he enjoys dealing with obstacles. I think he thrives on difficult situations. Trey is shrewd. I never anticipated that my accident would become so physically devastating, but I also never anticipated hat I would find a lawyer that would do all for me that he did. The resolution to my case surprised and delighted me...after all I had been through, he negotiated a settlement that took care of everything, and each time I spoke to him, again, he had even better news. One thing I must say is that Trey is so clever that it is almost entertaining. I would love to watch him litigate. I have asked him to write a book. I hear so much from friends who have dealt with issues in the fields of his expertise. Their lawyers are dispassionate, difficult to contact, unmotivated and prioritize cases in a way that made them feel disenfranchised. Not me. I never felt that way. He was the ONLY bright spot in this whole ordeal. I felt I was in such good hands that my only problem was just to focus on recovery. One other thing--I made Trey promise me he would never represent someone against me. He is not someone I would want to go up against, and I do not think there's an attorney I would think was proactive or clever enough to best him. I certainly have never heard of one. Please excuse the typos. This box does not let me go back to correct the mistakes.

Trey was extremely helpful

Trey helped us with my brother's divorce. He was extremely thoughtful, helpful, and when we needed him at the spur of the moment, he was there. It was the most enjoyable experience I have had with a lawyer. I'd highly recommend him.

"Trey is a consummate professional. He does what he says will be done. He pays attention to detail and works hard towards obtaining winning results for clients. I had a client who was arrested in Birmingham for drug possession with intent. I knew Mr. Marlborough from law school and put the two in touch. Attorney Marlborough successfully argued a motion to suppress and got the case against my client dismissed."
