He graduated from Georgia Tech with an Industrial Management degree with a certificate in finance. He moved to Spain and Costa Rica for a year to work on his Spanish Skills before he came back to attend law school at the University of South Carolina. He quickly became tired of practicing business law in South Carolina, so he decided to return home to work with his father and Troy Hendrick. After becoming a partner and focusing primarily on traffic infractions and misdemeanors, Mr. Maloof left Mr. Hendrick’s firm to focus on more serious offenses with his father.

He is a member of the DeKalb Bar Association and a member of the young lawyers division where he served as treasurer for a year in DeKalb County. While attending Georgia Tech, Mr. Maloof worked full time at his family’s restaurant, Manuel’s Tavern. There he earned money to pay for school and became familiar with local politics and laws.

Since 2007, Mike Maloof, Jr. has practiced exclusively in Georgia. He has tried cases at the Municipal, State, and Superior Court levels. He has won over 50% of the cases he has taken to trial. He is a graduate of the Bill Daniel’s trial advocacy program. His focus is on criminal defense and personal injury.

    Recommends this Attorney
    I was referred by another attorney to consult with Michael. I was able to reach him with the first phone call. He made an appointment for the next day. I was impressed with his expertise in the particular area of law that we discussed. He was honest with me and took the time to explain to me why the case might not be successful. I decided not to go forward, but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him .

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

  • Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
  • Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
  • Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
  • City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
