"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Joe Maloney both professionally and personally for nearly 25 years, starting when he worked as an Assistant United States Attorney in the Eastern District of California. We have litigated against one another on several occasions and have enjoyed a close collaborative relationship over the years that he has been in private practice. He’s an excellent advocate, a “lawyer’s lawyer” in the true sense of those words. Joe has impressive litigation credentials, having represented clients in the state and federal courts and before administrative bodies for 30 years. He well understands how to put a case together and take it the distance if necessary. He has a deep understanding of how to present a case and where he is in the litigation process.

Joe has been a great help to me consulting on an important case involving a federal law enforcement Special Agent with a personnel claim. Joe's knowledge of federal court civil procedure and federal employment law is phenomenal. He is in his own league relative to his writing and analytical skills. His thorough and unique understanding of state and federal labor law places him in the top echelon of labor law attorneys. Furthermore, he is very detail oriented, personable, and charismatic, both with clients and other counsel. Joe is the consummate professional."
"I have known Joseph for a number of years, now. I have had the opportunity to consult with him and he has proven to be extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Joseph is also professional, responsive, and has the ability to offer innovative perspectives and solutions. It has been, and continues to be, a pleasure and privilege to work with Joseph."
