Great job!

Couldn't be more happy with the results! Robert was easy to work with, knowledgeable and provided more an enough information for me.

Made the process so easy!

Worth every penny! I didn't even have to go to court, Christian took care of everything and saved me hundreds, possibly thousands (and points on my license). If I ever received a ticket again in Sussex, I'd call him instantly (though I hope I don't have to of course!)

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.

Superior Service

Absolutely amazing service. No middlemen, I worked directly with Mr. Malott during the entire process. He is extremely professional and diligent. At no point was I ever left feeling in the dark, he was able to preempt the majority of my questions and appropriately set my expectations for the outcome.... His attention to detail is unmatched and is an absolute pleasure to work with. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking assistance in VA. From the dozens of lawyers that flooded my mailbox he stood out above the others and I could not be happier with the results.
