Valerie Butler Malara

Horrible. Missed the Statuts conference with the court. She missed three of our scheduled phone calls. She and Picard Law Group will blast through your retainer and you will be left wondering what they did. Senior attorneys continually review each other's work when there is no movement, each bill...ing on top of the other. She would not return calls, follow up or simply do her job. FIND ANOTHER ATTORNEY!

Smart ,wise ,compassionate , thorough & brilliant to name a few of Valerie’s traits. I have been working with her the past few years, and I am so grateful to have her help and expertise services in dealing with legal issues. Hire Valerie if you want the best lawyer. She is not only an amazing lawye...r, but also a very kind compassionate woman, whom I am grateful to have the pleasure of knowing .

Having to contact and hire an attorney long distance, I wanted one who was competent, compassionate, and thorough. We met on Monday the 17th with a court date on Wednesday the 19th. The court room proceedings were handled in a professional and expeditious manner. The desired outcome was obtained w...ithout having to call witnesses or enter any documentation into the proceedings. I will return if I am ever in need of an attorney again.

I'm grateful I met with Valerie Malara for a divorce consultation. Before hiring her, I was considering signing an unfair Settlement offer, being too ill to keep up with overwhelming paperwork. And it was late in the process. I brought in every spreadsheet and document I could find. Valerie had ...quick answers of what was important, due to 30 years of experience, including being a Magistrate. She was patient describing the things that were possible. Without her specific advice, I would have made several costly mistakes -- even after my own research. She's fearlessly assertive. Being a shy person, I really needed someone who didn't give up. I felt confident we finally gathered the most solid information for a court hearing, if events had led up to that. I'll definitely call her again when needed in the future. The investment in her time and experience saved me much money in the long run.
