Prompt professional service

Tim was great. He was very professional, knowledgable and quick to respond. My traffic ticket was dismissed within a month for a very reasonable fee. Money well spent

Speeding Violation

I received a letter and business card from Attorney Malefyt. I at 1st thought it was some type of scam and a way to get money. In this world we live today it's hard to trust anyone. However, with a very demanding job, a large family that needs my attention I really had no time at all to fight this... on my own. So, I did something I never do and I called attorney Tim Malefyt. He was very receptive, and not offended to my questioning and concerns of his legitimacy and he took care of my speeding violation and even got it dismissed. No hassles, no more money, no record to worry about he just did what I couldn't do. Worry free, hassle free, and just as easy as dialing his number. I am amazed and very appreciative to have attorney Tim Malefyt on my side and would recommend his experience and knowledge in any circumstance. I know if I ever have something happen again I can count on him and will recommend him to everyone. He has proven to me there still are people we can trust and count on to fight for us.

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.
