He tried

I hired Tim when I had several tickets in one city and it did not turn out so well. In my opinion, I do not believe his negotiating skills were up to par and the DA sniffed the rookie right out of him. Once he sent my case to a second court date, I knew it was not going to work out. I eventually ende...d up hiring a more seasoned attorney to take the case, who was able to successfully get the tickets off of me in one court visit. I think Tim is exceptional if you have 1 ticket and a very basic case, but if you have something where things may get a little complex, you may want to seek a different counsel. However, very nice guy, very sharp and well-mannered, very informative and great with communication. Just did not work out for myself.

Make it simple...Hire Tim!

Do not dismiss the letter you receive from Tim. Call him up and sign the dotted line, its worth your time and money. In my case I saved both the time and the money. Don't delay hire Tim today!

Traffic Ticket

I highly recommend Tim if you need any help with traffic ticket. I got a traffic ticket in detroit downtown and approached Tim for help. Tim took care of this and kept me posted with progress of case. With Tim's effort the case was dismissed with no points or penalty

Huge speeding ticket !

So i got a huge speeding ticket on Southfield freeway a few months ago and I have some points from a speeding ticket of last year. So you can imagine I'm worried. Tim Malefyt reached out to me through mail, at first I thought this is strange and probably fake. I looked him up and saw he's real with... Avvo reviews. Do you think used him? No. I went to court and screwed everything up, took my morning off of work, paid for parking and ended up having to write a letter to the judge for walking in a few minutes late. I gave up, when i got home I called Malefyt out desperation . A week later he settled everything for me, I didn't even pick up the phone to call the court house. Charges were dropped to almost nothing and zero points !!!! The best money I've ever spent. Just give him one try and you'll see what I mean.
