Glad I Hired Tim

I got a card about Tim and was hesitant at first on hiring him to represent me. However, the time and convenience he saved me by not having to go to Detroit Court to represent myself, along with his understanding of the process was well worth me hiring Tim. I am glad I went with Tim and would reco...mmend him to anyone who has to deal with a Traffic violation.

I'd recommend Tim

After getting tagged for doing 45mph on Gratiot I wanted to get my charges reduced from 2 pts to none. Tim contacted me by way of a mailing saying that he can represent me, even though I didn’t think you could hire a lawyer for a traffic violation. I contacted him by phone and we chatted about my c...ase and I agreed to hire Tim. I paid his fee online and he handled both the pre-trial and trial. Yes, it takes two half days to get stuff handled in the Detroit courts. He was able to get my charges reduced to a charge that won’t show on my insurance. The court fees and fines were also reduced, something I doubt I would have been able to do on my own. Tim let me know about my outcome within hours of the verdict. I’d hire Tim in a heartbeat and would recommend him to my friends.

Tim Malefyt is Fantastic

I learned about Tim Malefyt by way of a mailing I received. I took a leap of faith and hired Tim to handle my traffic case. I paid my fee and was soon contacted by Tim. He was professional and caring during our telephone consultation. He assured me that he would be able to handle the case without... me having to miss work for an appearance. My case was delayed. Tim notified me that there was no need for concern because he was on top of things. Finally, the morning of my case he contacted me to alert me that the case was resolved - no points/no fine! He was a breath of fresh air. His pricing was accurate with no hidden fees. He maintained a level of contact that made me comfortable with him handling my case. Most of all, he did what he said he would do - provide me with the best legal representation possible. I will be referring him to friends and family and would not hesitate to utilize his services again.

What a Relief

Tim saved me a whole lot of time and money. He got my traffic citations dismissed and I didn't have to do a thing. At first I thought it was a scam (not having to show up to court), but after researching Tim and talking to him, I was sold. I'm keeping his number in my contacts for any future deali...ngs with the city of Detroit.

A+

I received a traffic citation for a violation that I felt I had not committed. Tim was able to get my case completely dismissed. Tim was very professional and clearly explained the process to me. I feel that his fee was money well spent. Thanks Tim!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
