Will go far...

Excellent lawyer, with a bright future ahead of him. He told me exactly what to expect in my case. I spoke with many other lawyers beforehand, and his tactics was on par with some of the more experienced and expensive available. Mr. Malott said that he would be able to get my 86/65 turned into a d...efective equipment verdict, and that's precisely what he did. Thank you again, Mr. Malott, you've saved me future financial pain and legal problems, but I hope to never have to use your services again. But if it ever comes up with me, or anyone I know, you'll be the first one I contact.

Out of state reckless driving by speed.

Mine was an out of state reckless by speed offense, and my main concern was the misdemeanor charge that VA puts on this that could have affected my future employment. Christian addressed my concerns, adjusted his schedule since I wanted to avoid a continuance, and was able to provide a more than sat...isfactory result. I ended up with court costs and a day of driving school to have the charges dismissed. Don't speed in VA, but if you do call this firm.

A REAL PERSON, HONEST TO THE MAX, GOOD TO HIS WORD

Due to my rush to return back to Florida from Boston, I sort of drove a bit too fast and was pulled over. Within days, I got a letter from Robert's firm and decided to hire them. Two days later, I heard from Robert. We had a straight forward discussion of what to expect and how to proceed. When I... asked if there was a chance that the judge would simply toss out the charge, he was right to the point. Clearly he was familiar with the judge and gave me an honest response. Good to his word, Robert took good care of my case on the due date. I popped him an email midday, fully expecting not to hear back from him until the following day. Later that day, I did, in fact get an email from Robert and he went into detail and explained what had happened and what the outcome was. It was, in fact, exactly what he had told me to expect. Robert is not simply an attorney. He is a man of his word and a caring individual. I made the right choice. Period.

Responsive, professional, and successful

Christian helped me get a reckless driving charge dropped even with a terrible driving record. He was very responsive and straightforward with me, and I would recommend him to anyone with a speeding ticket in the Richmond area.

Excellent Services

Mr. Malott was retained due to an excessive speeding violation in Virginia. He was very professional and reassuring. He explained to me the process, and what I needed to do. He informed me immediately of changes in the case. He was able to reduced my charge to faulty equipment, which was in fact the ...situation. I was well pleased with the service I received from him.
