Working with Mallory was great. I have no complaints whatsoever. Every question I had got answered effectively and it made my situation a lot less stressful. Communication was great throughout the whole process and having Mallory on my side was very comforting.
I had an excellent experience with this law firm. The team was extremely reliable, communicative, and professional from start to finish. They showed real dedication to my case, paid close attention to details, and made sure I understood every step of the process. Their commitment and expertise ultimately led to a successful outcome, and I’m very grateful for the level of care and effort they put in. I would confidently recommend them to anyone looking for a dependable and skilled legal team.
This was our first time working with an attorney and we came away feeling so lucky to have been put in touch with Mallory. She was super professional and made us feel at ease at all times. She is a great attorney and I would recommend her to anyone who wants to win their case. She went above and beyond.
Mallory represented me on a charge recently, and the outcome exceeded all expectations. From the first consultation, she was knowledgeable, responsive, and straightforward about the process. She handled every detail with professionalism and skill, ultimately securing a full dismissal of the case, which was then sealed from public record. Thanks to her expertise and dedication, I can move forward with a clean slate. Would highly recommend.
We had an excellent experience with our attorney from start to finish. She was very knowledgeable, responsive, and professional. Her professionalism and attention to detail made the entire process smooth and reassuring. Most importantly, they delivered a successful outcome. We highly recommend this attorney to anyone in need of strong, reliable legal representation.
I’m writing this on behalf of my family. A few years ago, my partner was accused of 1st-degree felony sexual assault. From the moment we found out, we searched for a lawyer who could help. When Mallory answered the phone, she was direct, focused, and ready to dive into the case. She was realistic, attentive, and didn’t dwell on “what ifs.” At first, we felt hopeless, worried about our future, starting a family, traveling, even getting married. But Mallory and Ted believed in my partner’s innocence and fought tirelessly. They won the case, and we are forever grateful for their dedication, professionalism, and support through the hardest time of our lives. We can now look forward to getting married and expanding our family, finally putting it all behind us. We would choose Mallory again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Mallory, from the bottom of our hearts. The support you gave us went far beyond your job, you gave him a second chance at life. Thank you Mallory. God Bless.
We were incredibly fortunate to be referred to Mallory. At a time when we felt lost and unsure of what to do, Mallory and her team stepped in with clear direction and unwavering support. Their hard work, dedication, professionalism, and deep knowledge—combined with patience and compassion—led to a not-guilty verdict and gave us our lives back. Mallory fought for us when we couldn’t fight for ourselves, and we trusted her completely throughout the process. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of exceptional legal representation.
Mallory is a very straightforward lawyer who communicates clearly and honestly. She never sugar-coats anything and provides thorough explanations. One thing I appreciated is her willingness to help explain anything and answer questions. She’s responsive and always responds within a few hours. She’s determined and will work hard to win your case. She’s a great lawyer and definitely worth the price. I highly recommend her.
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.
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.
