Mr. Malott

Mr. Malott is an excellent lawyer and handles his cases with the utmost professionalism and integrity. Very pleased with his work!

Reckless driving 68/45

Working with Mr. Malott was as painless as this type of experience can be. Despite my not being present in court, he was able to get my reckless driving charge reduced down to Defective Equipment. This reduction prevented my having a misdemeanor conviction, and also prevents any points from being as...sessed against my license. I have a small fine and completed an online driving course prior to my court date, as suggested by Mr. Malott. Mr. Malott was very responsive in his communications with me and well worth the money!

So glad I hired Attorney Malott

Attorney Malott was so helpful and honest. He always answered my calls and responded to any of my questions and emails quickly. With his help and direction, my case was dismissed!!

Friendly and Helpful

I contacted Christian after receiving a citation while traveling out of state to VA over a holiday weekend. Christian was able to quickly contact the court to inform them of his representation as the court date was only a few days from our initial contact. He was able to provide guidance that he felt... would help my case and hopefully reduce my sentence but he was actually able to get my sentence dismissed. I would highly recommend Christian if you have the unfortunate mishap of neededing an attorney.

Better than expected!!

Sometimes your lucky and sometimes your good! In this situation I think it was a little of both. I chose Christian to call back out of probably 25 letters sent after my ticket for reckless driving 87/70. From the start he was helpful and knowledgeable and didn't try to scare me into hiring him like a... lot of the other letters I received. Well since I had a clean driving record he was able to get my ticket knocked down to defective equipment. I was blown away. No points and no costly insurance increase. I simply had to take an online defensive driving course and pay a fine of $300. It was better than any outcome I expected. The best part was he walked me thru everything with detailed instructions via email to pay the fine, register and take the online course and how to send proof to the court. His fee was more than reasonable and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone needing a lawyer in Virginia.
