Maloney law firm
I cannot be more appreciative of what the Maloney firm did for me! I had used a different firm, and was taken. Mr Maloney stopped "the bleeding", and retrieved fundsthat were wrongfully charged to me. If I had used the Maloney firm from the beginning, things would have gone much better. Mr. Maloney and his entire team could not have been more helpful. Wood Wornall

Good Experience
We hired Patrick upon a referral, and could not have been more pleased with that decision. He was professional, knowledgeable, informative, etc. He stayed in constant contact with us, keeping us aware of all that was going on. This was a very stressful event/case for me, and he was completely supportive, making the process so much easier to endure. He acted not just as a lawyer, but as a friend. I have nothing but positive things to say about him, and I would absolutely hire him again. He is deserving of five stars, as he (and his entire staff) did an outstanding job. Thanks Patrick!

Great experience working with Patrick Maloney
I have been working with Patrick Maloney now for 4 months. He was referred to me by another law firm in San Diego. Mr Maloney has the capabilities of taking on complex issues that span across the globe and simplifying the legal matters better than 99% of attorneys ever would or could. He has the ability to understand any business model, partnership, or business contract in a short amount of time. Patrick sees the "high level" and knows how to conserve time, be effective and diligently represent his clients with passion. Highly recommend and without question, you'll be hearing a lot more about this guy!
