Disgrace Attorney

Horrible experience with Malcolm Nettles. He is very dishonest and greedy attorney. I hired him for a criminal case for my cousin. He was so nice in the beginning but once we made half the payment, everything changed. He kept harassing me for more money and if I didn't make payment...he threatened me... that he will withdraw from case. He misinformed me stating he knew the judge and can get my cousin off the case if we paid him more money. I felt very uncomfortable with this statement and hired another attorney which we had no issues. We didn't get the results we were promised by Malcolm Nettles. I would read these negative reviews before hiring this guy. Save your money!

Misleading and Unprofessional Attorney

I hired Mr Nettles on a case out of Travis County. This attorney is very Rude, and lazy. He never showed up in court on time. I was harrassed for his legal fees by him and his wife. They also keep telling me they would withdraw from case. I was never late on payment. He never got a plea deal. I en...ded up hiring another law firm and lost all my money with Malcolm Nettles. I strongly recommend you to search for someone more professional and educated. I should of known when he called me to his Home/office.

Very satisfied

Mr. Nettles represented me in a very difficult divorce case where my safety was at stake. I always felt he cared and truly looked out for my best interests above his own. I will always be grateful for having him on my team.

Worst Austin Texas lawyers

This attorney failed to provide services as agreed on contract. He demanded more money or threatened to withdraw from case. My ex husband and I were going through divorce, thats when I hired Malcolm. He has very badly reputation in front of judges. I was informed he has cheated many of his clients in... past.

Fantastic , caring attorney that gets results

Malcolm Nettles is a phenomenal attorney who cares about his clients. He really takes the time to get to know his clientele, and cares about the work he is doing. He is compassionate and dedicated, a great listener, but tough and aggressive when he needs to be. Excellent writer, awesome in litiga...tion, I am lucky to have Mr. Nettles represent me as I fought to raise my daughter in a difficult and complex case. Mr. Nettles and his trusty sidekick Judy work hard to protect your rights and fight for the results that you deserve. If you need an attorney to represent you in a difficult matter, whether it be criminal, civil or family related, I recommend Mr. Nettles to anyone who wants only A+ representation.
