I loved being able to visit in person with Max…
“Max did an incredible job, helping and communicating with me these past months. I felt secure with the information he told me. He explained everything where I was able to understand all the important information I would need to know about my case. Max was very professional with his work and didn’t hesitate to let me know when some problems came around. If someone ever got into an accident I will highly recommend Max Malvin as they lawyer to help them on their case.”
“My attorney with Malvin Law was beyond impressive. I was involved in a car accident and from the first call my attorney Max was “ALL OVER IT” he handled all the logistics, set me up with a rehab facility and I began treatment within 72 hours of my accident. Past that point he checked in with me weekly not to update me necessarily, but just to see how I was doing and feeling. He got me the best settlement he could and really fought for my best interest. Highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
