What Our Clients Say

If I could give this Malcolm Anthony 12 stars I seriously would. After weeks of battling between the RMV in Florida, the RMV in my home state, as well as the courts, I felt completely defeated with no answers. I called Malcolm and not only did he immediately make me feel at ease that this situation was right in his wheelhouse, but handled my case so quickly. I was able to finally sleep for the first time in a week. I could not be more grateful. Wonderful person, awesome attorney. Could not recommend him more.

I can’t say enough good things about Malcolm and his amazing paralegal Beverly over at Malcolm Anthony, P.A. When I found myself in a complicated legal situation, Malcolm was the clear-headed, professional guide I needed. And Beverly was nothing short of a lifesaver, keeping me up-to-date and stress-free from start to finish.

Together, they outlined a strategy that led to a fantastic resolution for my case. If you’re seeking top-notch legal help, Malcolm and Beverly are the people you want on your side. Honestly, five stars don’t do them justice!
