Reckless Driving 92/70

Attorney Malott is great! He explained everything in detail and responded right away whenever I had a question. I am very please with his work, and in the results I got through his representation.

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!

Honest, Reasonable, and to the Point

I hired Christian after getting a speeding ticket in Mecklenburg county which was located over 3hrs from where I lived. He took his time answering all of my questions and set a reasonable expectation for an outcome. He kept me informed throughout the process and I was more than pleased with the res...ult.

Speeding Ticket

This is one of the easiest and most professional process I have experienced dealing with a traffic ticket. I received a letter from Attorney Malott. I called Attorney Malott and he answered the phone. I was expecting a voicemail or a receptionist. I told him about my case and he promptly stated w...hat I needed to do and the steps necessary to get my case resolved without my presence in court. This is exactly what I was looking for and what I expected from an attorney. Attorney Malott was very patience and thorough when communicating with me. I was never confused and always informed. If I ever need an attorney again (which I hope I do not) Attorney Malott will be my first choice. Thanks again for your professionalism and expert advice.

Thanks for handling my "RD" case

I live out of state and recently found out the hard way that VA has some of the harshest traffic laws around. What would have gotten me a) a simple speeding ticket, b) not pulled over in the first place, or c) flipped off by other drivers anywhere else is actually a reckless driving offense there, so... this is NOT a place where you can just pay your fine and move on. You definitely need a lawyer, and Christian was the right choice. His fee was reasonable (I talked to two other attys that sent me letters in the mail, one charging half, and another charging more than double) and he explained my options, including the most likely results of my case during my first conversation with him. I had lots of questions along the way, and he was always responsive, including walking me through the next steps after my hearing. He made a less-than-ideal situation more manageable, and helped me avoid severe consequences that I didn't deserve, so if anyone is unfortunate enough to need his services, I would recommend him again in a heartbeat.
