Speeding Offense

Mr. Malott represented me for a speeding offense. I was going 100 on a 70 MPH speed zone and I was expecting jail time. I was pleasantly surprised when I only received a fine and 90 day license suspension. The judge specifically said my sentence was not as harsh as usual because of my lawyer. If you ...are not sure about hiring Mr. Mallot, I would recommend that you do!

Honest and Straightforward! 100% Recommended.

I received advertising mail from 12-15 other lawyers from VA and after an exhaustive online search I found the most positive reviews on Mr. Malott. I called and explained how I received a charge of reckless driving in VA. He listened carefully to my situation and then advised of what options I had. H...e didn't make any outrageous promises but was open and honest about what would likely happen if he represented me in court. I hired Mr. Malott for a very reasonable price and ultimately the result was just as he had said - the courts reduced the charge!! Although I still had to pay a court fee it was MUCH less than the fine and penalty I would have had if convicted of the original charge. I will never put myself in this position again but for anyone that does end up needing a lawyer, I fully recommend Mr. Malott. My family and I are very appreciative of his services.

Reckless Driving 83/70

I contacted R. Christian Mallott along with several other lawyers once I realized that my speeding ticket actually was considered a misdemeanor instead of a regular traffic ticket. I received my ticket in Lawrenceville, VA while I was traveling. I am a resident of Georgia so I definitely did not wa...nt the hassle of traveling to Virginia just for a traffic ticket. On the other hand if I just paid the fine, I would have a misdemeanor on my criminal record and points on my license. I definitely didn't want that especially since my driving and criminal records are clean. It seemed the best option was to hire a lawyer to represent me. R. Christian Malott answered the phone himself when I called. He told me he would go to court for me and all I had to do was send him a copy of my driving record and pay his fee. He sent me the link by email for me to go online and get my driving record and a link to pay his lawyer fee. It made things easy for me. He called me after court and told me he was able to get my reckless driving charge reduced to a defective equipment charge which meant no misdemeanor charge and no points on my license just as he promised. All I have to do is pay the court fine within 30 days of the court date and he sent me an email with all of the information on how I can do that. Mr Malott made this situation a lot easier and less stressful for me.

If you want to be represented by the best, he’s the one

I’ve never been pulled over or received a citation until early July in Caroline county for doing 80/55. I had no idea what to do. I kind of scared myself when I looked into the potential consequences one can face with a reckless charge. I began researching on my own of how I can represent myself best... in this situation. But, I’ve read that things don’t normally work in your favor if you represent yourself. After a week after the citation, I received several letters in the mail and after doing research on each individual that reached out to me, Christian Malott seemed the most reliable, successful and a great communicator. I reached out to Mr. Malott because representing myself wasn’t the way to go. Plus, I am in school, I work and I live in Washington DC and to be honest, it wasn’t a pleasant thought to have a criminal record for reckless speeding. During the consultation, he answered every question I had, he allowed me to explain the situation, and gave me some suggestions on how to handle the case. It was a very smooth consultation. He advised that I take a 12 hour driving course that will help with my case. Not only did this 12 hour class teach me a lot, it also helped get my case dismissed which I am highly grateful for.
