Exceptional Attorney

I could not have asked for a better outcome! Tim did a fantastic job. I received a letter from Mr. Malefyt after receiving a traffic ticket. After a brief discussion with Tim, I am very pleased to have hired him. It was the smartest thing I could have done! He came through with all that he stated he... would. I will be keeping his contact information and sharing it with as many people as possible. Absolutely delighted with his work.

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.

Attorney Tim Malefyt-My Divine Intervention

Attorney Tim Malefyt will not let you down. The cost of his expertise, time, services are definitely worth your while to pursue. Unbeknownst to myself, I received in the mail, a citation for a motor vehicle accident which totaled my vehicle and sent me to the ER. My license was suspended until I p...osted a bail of $360 and requested a hearing. I dreaded having to pay the high cost of parking and sitting in court all day. Ten days before my court date, I received a letter from Attorney Tim in the mail, informing me that he would take care of everything and I didn't even have to come to court. I contacted Tim for a free telephone consultation. He was very easy to reach and very personable as well as professional. The process to hire Tim was very convenient, expeditious, efficient, and simple. True to his word, Tim came through. I did not receive any points on my license. I even received a refund check for $125 from the 36th district court in the mail today. As a retired military veteran, I highly recommend Attorney Tim Malefyt. I assured you will not be disappointed.

So Relieved!

I received a 16-20 mile an hour over the speed limit traffic ticket on Jefferson in Detroit just outside of Grosse Pointe Park, by a State trooper. I also could not find my registration and insurance and so received a ticket for that as well. The office did not give me a break at alI. I felt like ...I was going to get the book thrown at me! I called the court and got a court date, but I was so very worried about the points on my record and the high dollar amount of the ticket, and just appearing in court in general. Then I received a letter in the mail from Tim. After researching him to make sure that he was a member of the bar association and in good standing I decided to take a chance. So very glad I did. Tim was professional and took time out to answer all of my questions before I hired him. Since I didn't hire him until the day before my court date :( he wasted no time in getting a formal hearing in which I did not even have to appear at. He got both tickets dismissed and I owe nothing! And no points! I am amazed! The $90 flat fee was for both tickets, not just one. It was such a bargain! I would use his services again in a second and will recommend him to all of 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.
