Bruce Maloy
Maloy Jenkins Parker partner, Bruce Maloy, has over 30 years of experience trying criminal cases of all kinds. He has tried over 100 state and federal criminal jury trials. His representations have included the defense of individuals accused of fraud, tax evasion, money laundering, SEC violations, and healthcare fraud, and other complex crimes. He has also represented numerous individuals charged or investigated in transnational prosecutions.

Since 1995, Bruce has been Adjunct Professor of Law at Emory University School of Law, teaching both Transnational Criminal Litigation and a Criminal Procedure Workshop. In addition, he is a frequent lecturer on trial techniques and International Criminal Law at conferences around the world. He is a recognized expert on International Criminal Law. He has given expert testimony in extradition proceedings in the United Kingdom, the Bahamas, and other jurisdictions. He has frequently advised lawyers in other jurisdictions on criminal law in the U.S. as well as advised U.S. residents subjected to foreign investigations or prosecutions.

As part of his commitment to equal access to justice, Bruce, along with the Southern Center for Human Rights, sued the County Commissioners of Fulton County, Georgia, and forced the county to agree to better fund the county’s Public Defender Office so that prisoners would have a lawyer within days of their arrest instead of languishing in jail for months without representation. He also successfully sued the State of Georgia under the Americans with Disabilities Act on behalf of a blind state prisoner. His client had, among other indignities, been written up for refusing to sign a statement saying he had read and understood the inmate rule book.

Bruce was inducted into the American Board of Criminal Lawyers in 1998 and the American College of Trial Lawyers in 2001. He is also a member of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, the International Bar Association, and the Georgia Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, serving as President in 1990. Bruce served on the Board of Directors (1989-1994) and as President (1994) of the Federal Defenders Office in Atlanta. He has been rated in the highest category for White Collar Litigation by Chambers. According to Chambers, "Bruce Maloy deals with white-collar investigations and is renowned for a 'gentle persuasive style that is very effective with jurors and judges.' A 'consummate lawyer for representing senior officers,' Maloy is said to have a 'terrific ability to figure out the best strategic move in a case.'" Bruce is also a Georgia SuperLawyer in the White Collar Crime rankings.
