Hired Attorney William Michael Maloof Jr.

I hired Mike to handle an administrative matter to terminate probation based on new legislation allowing such an action. I wasn't sure what the outcome would be so the matter was a little speculative, but turned out to be money very well spent. He was able to handle the prosecutor's concerns and obtained consent order to terminate my case. In addition he was able to secure the sealing of my record and order to seal in the same effort. The fixed price legal fee was very reasonable.

Hired Attorney William Michael Maloof Jr.

I was confronted with a case in Fulton County. I believed that the case had already been resolved based on prior negotiations another handled. I reached out to Mike and asked what should be done. He explained we had a double jeopardy defense. I appeared with Mike in court. He spoke with the prosecutor and indicated he would file motions and provide documentation. Three weeks later Mike called me to inform me that the charges had been dropped based on the paperwork we had filed.

Hired Attorney William Michael Maloof Jr.

Mike did a great job of representing me on a DUI case. I was released on a Fri afternoon with an initial court date of Monday. He met me on Sunday Afternoon and took the case. He got me the absolute best possible resolution to my case

Hired Attorney William Michael Maloof Jr.

Was referred to Mr. Maloof Jr. from Attorney Larry Steele to handle a traffic matter which he told me he could handle in a week. After I punctually paid the $750 fee, it all went south. After a month of pulling teeth, I still had the charge on my driving record, causing me to continue another traffic case. Only after I called Mr. Steele back to question his referral did things get done. Maloof promised me $60 back for my continued court date that I never saw. Overall bad and stressful experience

Hired Attorney William Michael Maloof Jr.

September 2015 I hired this law firm September 2015 because they told me they don't take cases they can't win. I paid them $12,550; and they hardly did ANYTHING. They told my son that he may not serve but 1 year. He's still incarcerated. They lied to my family; a complete disappointment.

Hired Law Firm

He took my money, never showed me any discovery. The judge told him to get an evaluation of me from my doctor before he would allow any bail. He lied for 3 months stating the appointment was made. I never got the evaluation. He filed an entry of motion in his father's name 45 days after taking my money. I had to fire him. I had the evaluation two weeks after hiring another lawyer. He lied in a letter stating he would refund my money, he never has. I'm going to sue him.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
