Tim Paul Malefyt is the Real Deal

I was contacted by Tim via email with an offer to represent me with a City of Detroit moving violation. My 1st thought was "yea, right!" an unsolicited email lawyer. Figuring nothing to lose, I called him and he promptly returned my call. He explained his skills, services and reasonable fees. I... agreed to review his contract and made the decision to sign and return it. From that point on he took charge. Tim handles two hearing without my presence being necessary and, thus, no work time lost. Our original discussion left me with a non-guaranteed assurance that the charge would likely be reduced and possibly dismissed. A few hours after the time of the final hearing, I was emailed a copy of the Judge's decision that documented the charges were dismissed and all fines and fees were reversed. I am 100% satisfied and recommend Tim Paul Malefyt as a trustworthy and skilled attorney in motor vehicle citations.

If you need a lawyer, Tim is your only choice

I had a traffic incident on I75 and Tim patiently listened to my concerns, responded to me promptly, and got my case dismissed. Tim is a hard-working and diligent attorney with a keen ability find ways to help his clients. He just wins!

Satisfied Customer

I received a citation that I felt was unjust. In my profession, I work with attorney's daily. Tim is one of the good ones. I never felt I was just a paycheck for him. His terms were clear and he never price-gouged me. He is passionate about what he does. Thankfully, Tim found me. He took away ...the stress of a very stressful situation. Ultimately, I walked away with no record of that citation.

Tim went above and beyond and delivered great results!

Tim recently helped represent me in a formal hearing for a minor traffic violation that I felt was issued incorrectly. From start to finish working with Tim was quick and easy. He was professional and timely in his updates about my case and was able to get my ticket reduced to zero points the fines d...rastically lowered. His work and results were above and beyond what I was hoping for and I couldn't be more grateful! I would recommend him to anyone ever in need of help with a traffic case. I've had a great driving record for over 4 years now and it is important it stays that way for my line of work and thanks to Tim I have the opportunity to help keep it that way.

Accident

I was in a accident that I did not cause although for some reason I was written up by the State Police officer. I was upset knowing that this would affect my insurance rating and my insurance costs would likely increase. I hired Tim Malefyt and instantly he went to work on my case. When he went to co...urt for me he was able to have the ticket dismissed completely without me even being present. Tim's communication with me about this case was outstanding.
