Trey did me right, I will always use him!

A few years ago, I had a child support case in Alabama and I am from another state. And I needed an attorney. Trey was great, keeping me informed and representing me in court. I was very pleased to win my case. I have used him more than once, satisfied every time. He really is a great person to...o, he really does call you personally and he listens to you. Very hard to find in an attorney. I would highly recommend him, I know I will always use him. Thank you Trey!!

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.

Outstandingly Excellent, Truly The Best, In A Class By Himself

In August 2015, my children's mother sued me through DHR for the child support. I had never been through anything like this before and had 10 days to retain an attorney and file a response. Finding an attorney who was wiling to take my case on such short notice was proving difficult. I had called a...round and spoken to 6 or 8 other attorneys before I came to Trey Malbrough. What impressed me immediately about Trey Malbrough was the way he took the time to listen to me, talking with me at length, and really getting to know the particulars of my case, as there were important details to be known. A lot of attorneys don't take the time to really listen to their clients, and hear the details that the client believes may be important. Trey Malbrough is a very good listener and shows his sincerity to help his clients by listening and taking the time to prepare the case to help his clients, and bring the best resolution within the confines of what the law permits. I felt very fairly treated, and I didn't feel like I was just another number waiting in line. After the case was settled with arrearages assessed and monthly child support amount determined, the Child Support Office made a clerical error in their book keeping for my account. Trey Malbrough's office helped me get that straightened out as well. In short, Trey Malbrough has proven the value of his work, has proven his sincerity in taking a personal vested interest in his clients and his client's cases, and has very well earned my confidence. I will be calling on Trey Malbrough again in the future for all of my legal needs that fall within his area of practice. You will be hard-pressed to ever find an attorney of Trey Malbrough's calibre, and I believe he is in a class by himself, right there at the very top.

Thief 3rd degree

I would highly recommend Trey as your lawyer . I made a bad mistake about two months ago not a wise decision . He was very understanding explaining and listening to you he returned his calls himself not a secretary and if any questions would email or text you back quickly . And the next day after cou...rt I had couple of questions very honest and called back even with a busy schedule . Would definitely use him again . Thank you

TREY IS LITERALLY A LIFE SAVER!!!

I did something very very stupid when i was younger and i also at the time held a professional license which was at risk and that believe it or not was my biggest worry! This was the 1st time i had ever been in trouble but had dealt with lawyers for other reasons divorce, child support etc. When this... mishap happened i called every lawyer in my area and all of them had negative things to say about possible outcomes they were not willing to fight for me and that was what i was looking for not to mention a lawyer i could afford. I submitted my issue to this website looking for a lawyer and trey called me himself right away, at 1st being that it was the actual lawyer calling me i thought it was a scam but the more he talked the more i realized it wasnt. He was so positive about the possible outcomes but also told me what could happen but he laid out his course of action to begin with a plan A and B both being in my favor with no conviction to lesser of conviction i loved the way he laid it all out for me and also he was willing to work with me as far as my limited income he was the best attorney i had talked to about taking my case and boy was i right!! I never talked to a secretary, i had his personal # he communicated more to me about my case than any other attorney i have ever worked with and he was upfront and truthful. And even while he was my attorney i had other things come up car accident i was able to ask him advice about anything legal, also with this charge pending on my background it was hard to find a job but he would always fax a typed letter on his letterhead to help me get the job and i did everytime!! And trey was truly a lifesaver because what i was charged with he was able to get dismissed completely! No joke! I was shocked! No probation or programs just dismissed even after i confessed! With no trial or nothing just dismissed! And let me tell you for this to be completely dismissed was a once in a lifetime oppurtunity! He had no problem approaching the D.A who was not the nicest over and over till he got the resolve we wanted! I recommend him to anyone who asks me about attorneys i would use him over and over for anything legal i need done! In fact he will be working on getting this expunged off my record! He really understands how people makes mistakes and most of all he really understood about my professional license being at stake that was also one of his main prioritys! Because the other attorneys did not care about my licensure or how it could be affected trey knew exactly how to handle it and exactly how worried i was about it! He really did make it one of his highest prioritys for me to keep my licensure which he understood was my livelihood and in the end because of trey I did keep it!! and even though i know he has other clients i felt like i was his only client he knew my case inside out! He was a life saver literally and i would use him over and over for any legal issue on the legal spectrum. If you are looking for a lawyer who cares, makes you feel like a priority, truthful, communicates, no dealing with receptionists and a lawyer who will fight tooth and nail for you until he feels you and him both are satisfied with the outcome then trey malbrough is your attorney!! I cant cant say enough!!!

"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."
