Look no further, you’ve found the best of the best

After my experience, I sincerely from the bottom of my heart would like to help make this choice easier for those in search of the best defense they can find. Do not underestimate the importance of this decision, the end result very much depends on it. Linda truly is extraordinary, she’ll find ...ways to defend you that most attorneys would overlook. In my case she definitely exceeded my expectations by far. I was facing a felony 2 Charge for improper discharge of a firearm into my neighbors condo, and a misdemeanor charge for using firearms while intoxicated. A charge that carries a prison term of 2 to 8 years. They also added a 3 year mandatory specification to it. So I was looking at a minimum of five years in prison. I was being charged as if I did it intentionally, but it was unintentional. Had I not had an attorney with a keen understanding of the specifics of the law, there’s no doubt I would have gone to prison. The charges were ultimately dropped to a felony 4. I won’t be going to prison, and it will be exponged after a year. My life could have been completely destroyed without Linda’s help. I have a 13-year-old daughter I thought I may not see the rest of her childhood, a thought which often brought me to tears. Thank you Linda. To all of you reading these reviews, trying to decide which attorney to go with, stop searching and call Linda. It doesn’t get any better than this.

My hero

I hired Linda Malek for a legal problem involving a felony 2 for a family member. Facing a very serious criminal charge, Linda accomplished outstanding results. Like a super hero coming to the rescue, she never gave up fighting the fight. She is an amazing, hard working, caring, and down to earth ...attorney with a lot of common sense. I was overjoyed with the outcome of this case. She is my hero. If you are looking for an attorney that puts her heart and sole into helping you, look no further. She is the best. Her knowledge of the law is unsurpassed.

A true expert

After politely refusing to undergo roadside sobriety tests, I was arrested for OVI and taken to the police station where I then refused the breathalyzer test. At the time, I was not aware that the"automatic" penalty for refusing these tests would be more severe based on the fact that I had a previous... OVI conviction 7 years prior to this. Things did not look good. But things immediately started looking up when I hired Ms. Malek. She started her legal counsel by calming me down--letting me know that she would work hard to achieve the very best outcome possible and that she had a wonderful track record of doing just that. She wasn't kidding. Tapping into her extensive expertise and experience in this particular area of law, Ms. Malek went to work in uncovering ways to greatly lessen what I thought were going to be automatic penalties. In addition, she successfully argued for the very flexible occupational driving privileges I needed to maintain all the work I do as a private contractor. I really cannot imagine how the outcome could have been any better. Of all the things I learned through this entire ordeal, the main thing is how important expert, specialized representation is in such matters. Linda Malek is not inexpensive. However, you don't walk into a skydiving shop and say, "Give me the cheapest parachute you have!" It's your life. You want the softest landing possible in a case like this. That's what Linda Malek delivers.

Highly recommended!

I would recommend Linda to anyone facing OVI charges that look hopeless. She not only looks into every single possibility to help your case but also keeps you informed and makes you feel like you have someone truly on your side. She worked on my case for 5 months and the entire time never quit fighti...ng to eliminate or reduce my charges although my case honestly didn't look very promising. In the end we did get my charges reduced and I was very happy with the results. She's truly amazing and you can tell that she honestly loves what she does and that's what makes her so great! If she can't do something for your case then I truly believe no one can.
