One of the top Lawyers in Florida, not just the First Coast!
Malcolm is a highly skilled litigator, and no matter the legal quandary he finds a way to make the law work for you in a just and fair manner. He handled a ridiculously complicated case in which there seemed little hope of actual justice. His legal mind is uniquely qualified when dealing with complicated DWI cases which is an area that frankly his expertise is unmatched any where on the First Coast and likely Florida for that matter. I would highly recommend this attorney. He stays on top of your case, keeps all parties informed and works tirelessly on his client's behalf until the case is dismissed or won. Do yourself a favor and end your worries if you find yourself in jeopardy...call Malcolm Anthony.

Doesn't call you back

Have dealt with this lawyer before. Thought he was good. Payed him to support my son for a second case. He never called me back after the appearance but instead called the other party back, not the payer. Still.waiting....what a poor lawyer. Would not recommend.....Watch him to see his results. Dont recommend......

Miracle Worker!

I absolutely recommend this man if you have any legal issues, everything looked super bleak and hopeless, and this genius of a man managed to get my case dropped! He is worth every penny and will keep you informed every step of the way. He does not settle and will look at your case from every possible angle to provide the absolute best outcome. It was the best decision I ever made to hire Mr. Malcolm Anthony. I cannot recommend him enough.

Salesman Not Lawyer

From the beginning he said the second DUI is the easiest punishment. Which should have told me that he was looking to plea. Claiming the second dui has the easiest punishments. Did not talk to him for 3 of the 6 months that I hired him. Then the last month he finally filed a motion and had my hopes up but to no avail. He made me feel as if it was a lost cause to go to trial, "last week I lost a case and he was in a similar situation".

This man is a godsend, and an genius. When things looked the most bleak and hopeless, this man didn't sleep, went into the office well before 6 am, and worked every angle on my case of my second DUI with a very high blow. He found the right angle to approach my case and went the best possible way about it. He is personable, very intelligent, and does not settle for anything less. I could not have chosen a better attorney for my situation. Any other lawyer would sure

Best DUI Attorney in NE FLA
Malcolm Anthony, Ponte Vedra Beach, FL based Attorney, did an Outstanding Job of advising my Son through a DUI Arrest and the resulting Court proceedings. The results were simply beyond our expectations. Not only was my Son found to be NOT GUILTY at Trial, but the Judge also waived the Reckless Drive Charge. It was evident to me throughout the entire process that we had hired the Right Guy to help us navigate this difficult time. Jack. G Neptune Beach, FL

Malcolm knows how and when to do what needs to be done. He got my DUI case dropped.
I was arrested for DUI but one of the officers stole some money from my car. When I told Malcolm about it, he questioned me and began to work on the case. Eventually, the sheriff’s office did a sting operation and confirmed the officer was taking money from people getting arrested for DUI. Malcolm kept telling me to be patient as he worked on my case. He worked with the State and the investigators to confirm the bad officer’s behavior. When the officer got arrested, Malcolm went into full lawyer mode and got the case dropped. His timing is unbelievable. His knowledge of the system and the players is peerless. He exceeded my expectations.

Review/Recommendation for Malcolm Anthony
I hired Malcolm when I got arrested for a DUI. It had been the worst day of my life ending up in jail. The case took a long time to develop, but Mr. Anthony never charged more for the time it took. Malcolm was very good at responding to calls even in the evening from me and from my sister who was helping me through this. Eventually the case went to trial. Malcolm calmly sat with me through the two days and did amazing trial work. There was a video that was played. After Malcolm gave his closing argument for me, the jury deadlocked, which meant we had to go to trial again. Malcolm explained that the second trial is usually unfavorable because the State knows how we will handle our defense. Malcolm only charged me one trial fee; he did the second trial at no charge. At the beginning of the trial, Malcolm kept the video out of evidence. I was found NOT GUILTY! Malcolm told the jury that I had the worst day of my life that day and asked them to give me a good day with a not guilty verdict. It was a good day, thanks to the amazing work Mr. Anthony did for me. He will not give up on you.

Peace of mind after a horrible ordeal
I cannot say enough good things about Malcolm. I was the victim of a road rage incident where the perpetrator had a family member pose as a "unbiased witness". They gave a completely false story to the police. I thought my case was hopeless because it was two people's stories against mine. But... I knew the truth and ultimately decided I had to fight this. I did a lot of researching in to St Johns County based lawyers before making my decision. Malcolm has 38 five-star reviews on Avvo, so he obviously made the short list of people to call. Malcolm called me personally after I submitted a consultation request online. I spoke with him for close to 45 minutes about what happened and he gave me immediate advice without ever mentioning a fee. By the end of our conversation, I immediately knew he would be my lawyer. There were times when I would contact him because I was scared / anxious. I also did not want to have to see the person in court because I was afraid of him and he lived in my neighborhood. Malcolm took that weight off of me. Everything related to the crash was handled by him. I never had to speak to another person. Malcolm overcame incredible odds and the result of his work was even better than what I had initially hoped. He is an excellent lawyer, and he is honest with his clients about what he can realistically do for them. You will see this at your first meeting with him. If you choose Malcolm, you can be sure that you have picked an extremely competent, experienced attorney who will fight for you. Malcolm has earned a lifetime client. No matter how major or minor the legal matter may seem... pick Malcolm. It will be the best investment you could possibly make for your peace of mind.

DUI
A family member was arrested on a DUI charge. Being new to the area I reached out to a friend who recommended Malcolm as the best in PVB for this circumstance. He was on the phone with me within a half hour and talked me through the process of getting the person out of jail. We met the next day and discussed the subsequent process and expectations. He delivered on his representations and exceeded ours. He is clearly well known and respected by the prosecutors and judiciary. This was a troublesome time and we needed a friend and a counselor. He was both. I can easily recommend him.

I endorse Malcolm whole-heartedly in the area of criminal defense. As a former prosecutor and now defense attorney, he knows exactly how the system works and he will go the extra mile for his clients. I, particularly, recommend him for DUI charges and clearing up driving records because he is one of the few lawyers in the greater Jacksonville area that truly understands the intricacies fixing any and all driver license issues.

Criminal defense can drive anyone nuts! And it takes an extraordinary talent to understand and then properly handle disputes involving criminal defense laws. You need someone who is remarkably smart and adept at understanding the in's and out's of the laws that most lawyers hate to deal with as much as the average person does too. With praise from his clients and attorneys who know here, along with his dozens and dozens of well written published answers to questions at Avvo.com, you can tell he knows the law and how to deal with it. If you have a question about criminal defense, he is your answer. Period. I recommend him to you.
