My position requires that I hire and work with lawyers routinely, and of the many I have hired and worked with over the years, John was the worst by far. I engaged Attorney Maloney to be the attorney for an Estate of which I was the Executor. Contrary to ethics and norms (if not also NY law), John did not explain his fees or offer an engagement letter at the start of the process. When I asked him for an engagement letter, he refused. John was uncommunicative, failed to follow through at every single step of the estate settlement process, and generally inefficient. I had to repeatedly remind him to complete filings or take other actions we had discussed, or to provide me updates and status. For example, we had a phone call on which he agreed to take certain actions. When he still had not taken these actions after a month, I followed up and he seemed to have no recollection of the phone call or agreeing to take the actions. He and his staff gave me incorrect information at times, and seemed more intent on getting through the process than advocating on behalf of the Estate's interests.
I selected John because he had prepared the will for the person whose Estate was involved. In going through the deceased person's papers, I found that the deceased also had had many problems with John not following through and losing track of information provided to him. I also found letters from the Court advising John that he had made certain filings incorrectly and requiring him to resubmit those filings...and then there would be a very long period before John made the re-submission. John and his office seem to work entirely on paper. This created many inefficiencies and delays.
My best advice is to not hire John Maloney for any legal work whatsoever. I am indicating a one star rating only because zero stars is not an option.

during one court hearing he let the person that he was representing threat the other person all he told him was shut up. I would never hire him or have him as a judge. It's bad when the witness has to demonstrate to him how someone dose something. He has done but lie and he is untruth worthy

MR. RICH IS VERY SMART AND KNOWS THE LAW AND HAS RESPECT FROM PEERS AND JUDGES AND D.A.'S. WHICH IS A PLUS WHEN HE'S DEFENDING YOU. HE GOT A FELONY CHARGE COMPLETELY DISMISSED FOR ME. I WOULD RECOMMEND HIM TO ANYONE. KEEP UP THE HARD WORK MR. RICH...

Mr. Rich was our adversary in criminal cases Elmira Correctional facility brought against inmates facing new charges. Watching Mr. Rich in court defending known criminals was like witnessing a finely tuned musical instrument. The prosecution attorneys knew they had to have their i's dotted and their t's crossed when facing him in court. I admired his knowledge and expertise. Several times we thought there was no way to lose a case against Mr. Rich only to be paddled into submission by his knowledge of criminal law while defending his clients. We would hear his name as the defense attorney and knew we were in for a fight and there would be no open and shut case in our favor.
