I was in a car wreck on St. Simon’s Island. Leland was the first person I thought to call. He gave immediate advice. I like how he followed up with me with timely news on my case. I was able to get a great settlement because I called Leland.

Mr. Malchow was very helpful with our case! We were hit by an uninsured motorist which made everything a bit more complicated but with his help we were compensated for our injuries and won our case. I highly recommend Mr. Malchow!
