Effective coucil with positive outcome

Provided a grounded assessment of the case and options to reduce or mitigate. Was responsive to email and phone calls and provided concise and informative answers. Had reasonable suggestions that succeeded in getting the charges dismissed. Reasonable.

Christian Rocks!

I received a reckless driving ticket that would have resulted in a misdemeanor in the state of Virginia because it was above 80mph. I also have a security clearance for my job, so this was...not ideal. But, in about 2 very easy, clear communications with Christian, he assured me that he would appear ...in court and present my case. And guess what? No misdemeanor, no reckless driving! Christian is so professional, competent, and dependable, he gave me great confidence that he would represent me well and he came through with flying colors.

Reckless Driving Ticket

Christian was amazing from the start. He answered me immediately and explained everything so that I understood clearly. He had my reckless speeding ticket reduced to a defective equipment violation so that I didn't receive any points on my license and it won't go on my record. He showed up in court... for me, as I wasn't able to make it because I live out of state. He communicated with me often. He was absolutely wonderful - I HIGHLY recommend him!!

Hire this lawyer

So I got a reckless driving ticket in VA for going 81 in 70 mph zone when driving down to FL on vacation. After contacting several lawyers I decided to hire R. Malott. I'm glad I did because he was helpful, honest, sharp, professional, and on the ball. He kept me informed of what was happening with... this charge and I didn't have to keep reminding him of anything. That's for sure. Most importantly, he had my reckless driving charge reduced so I didn't get points in my driving record and it won't go onto my criminal record. If I had to hire another lawyer, I'd look to R. Malott again. I'd say he's the best lawyer for the price. Maybe just the best. So I highly recommend him, especially for cases involving traffic infractions: DUI, reckless driving, speeding etc.

Effortless

Christian made handling this ticket effortless. After one call, I knew I would work with him to handle my case. He made the experience very personalized but also didn't overwhelm (perfect for me). It was not the cheapest option but definitely the best because quality and attention to detail is import...ant to me.
