Tim Malefyt is great!!

Tim sent me a mailer through traditional mail after I received a speeding ticket on I75 near Detroit recently. I was a little skeptical at first due to the nature of how I was contacted but I am so glad I reached out to Tim. I was speeding by a pretty significant amount and Tim was able to get my c...ase completely dismissed. I did not owe anything. Paying Tim's fee alone for the result I received was a bargain. He will be the first person I go to if I have any troubles in the future and will be who I recommend to family and friends. Thank you again Tim for all of your help!

Great Experience

I had incurred a speeding ticket on I-75 and shortly there after I had moved out of state. I received a delayed notice in the mail (after it got forwarded to my new address) that I had a pre-trial court appearance the following day at 9am. I panicked, as I definately could not make this appearance ...with such short notice. A few weeks prior I had received a letter from Tim Malefty offering his services for a flat fee to negotiate the ticket on my behalf. I held onto this letter just in case. I called the Detroit court at 8am the morning of my appearance to see if I could move my hearing and they said no. I immediately called Tim and he accepted the case despite the short notice. He quickly emailed over a contract to sign and I also paid his flat fee online. He appeared on my behalf at the scheduled pre-trail hearing at 9am and got a formal court hearing scheduled for a future date. He appeared at the newly scheduled court date and got my ticket dismissed. My experience with Tim was very seamlessly. He is very professional. He answered several of my questions both over the phone and responded quickly to my texts. He kept me informed of all the proceedings. I would recommend Tim to anyone who needs a ticket handled in the Detroit courts.

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.
