Best OVI Attorneys ever!

Love the Linda Malek Law Firm!!! I thought I was going to lose my mind until I found the "Queen of OVI" and let me tell you, it felt like Royalty!! Joe, Chelsea, Karen, and Linda are very good at what they do. I felt like they were family after a 5 minuet conversation with Linda over the phone. Joe h...andled my case and I felt great about how he prepared and the result was exactly what we wanted! Sometimes things happen for a reason and the best of my situation is that I now have 4 more people in my life that I can count on!

Definitely in the Top 5 if not top 3 lawyers in northeast Ohio

So my encounters with Linda first started late September early October of 2019, I had ran into some trouble regarding large large amounts of thc and firearms and sadly the case ended up going federal. From the very beginning she was not only reassuring, but very very professional and she carries a pe...rsonality and demeanor like no other when it comes to her job, I could call her at almost any hour of the day, I could text her at any hour of the day, and I have always gotten timely responses(Within minutes to if it was 1-2am sometimes it would be instant sometimes it would be in the morning when she woke up). Over the years she has treated me more like family, then a client, and from what I see with her other clients as well, she’s a pirhanna, she won’t stop until she gets what she wants, when it comes to her clients she is relentless and her perseverance is unmatched, I’ve had several top tier lawyers all ranging from 5k-40k(For state cases) and the work that she does, is literally unmatched. And if you’re caught red handed like I was, she has the connections, she has the voice, and she does the work, to get you the lowest possible sentence. I went from federal trafficking in thc, along with a possible 924c(poss of firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking) which carries a minimum mandatory 5 year on top of my other charge, to a plea that gave me multiple point reductions that doesn’t carry a mandatory minimum, and that doesn’t discredit me from probation/home confinement, therefore bringing my sentencing guidelines much much lower. I’ve witnessed Linda spend hours on hours on the phone with the FDA agents, with the prosecutor, with whoever was possibly relevant, to get me the best possible deal.

Best lawyer - best decision to hire her

Linda is a rare lawyer - brilliant, good, professional - and incredibly effective. I found Linda after getting pulled over for a high-tier OVI with an extremely high BAC. She got it reduced to the low tier with the lowest penalties. Linda asked all relevant questions, hunted down all facts, and fough...t for me. She got me what everyone called, "the most lenient" result they had seen out of the court. Linda knows what she is doing 100%. She is worth her weight in gold. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. Her staff was superb also. I had never had any history of anything like this, and she walked me through the process with knowledge and respect. Right before the final step in my case, I got cited again in a different municipality because of a documentation error I made unknowningly. Linda had to step in and negotiate that additional situation immediately to be able to preserve the initial plea. Linda made it happen. She is a miracle worker. I work with lawyers in other professional contexts every day - Linda is among the most brilliant and effective out there. Choosing her was the best decision I could have made at one of the hardest times of my life.

Amazing attorney!!

I hired Linda right after consulting with her. I knew right off the bat she was going to be a great attorney for my case but little did I know how much effort she was about to put into everything. I got charged with a very high tier ovi with a refusal of all field sobriety tests and unfortunately a c...hild endangerment charge (that she got dropped to a disorderly conduct.) She got my ovi dropped down from the high tier to a lower tier and my case is now over. I am serving no jail time with very small fines to pay and my license suspension isn’t as long as I thought it was going to be. Linda treated my case as if I was her little sister or any type of family member. She put herself in my shoes and really took charge of my case and we ended up connecting on a personal level and she is still continuing to help me through things. I literally couldn’t have asked for a better attorney at all. Yes I paid her for the services I got but she didn’t have to do what she did or go as far as she did at all. I am so thankful for Linda and her team! If you need an ovi attorney you NEED HER!! You will never find a better attorney anywhere else I can promise you that. I will forever be thankful for this company and Linda. ❤️

HIRE LINDA MALEK!

Atty. Malek and her team went above and beyond to help me in my case When I say above and beyond, it all started when i picked the wrong Attorney to represent me. I had no prior issues with anything criminal. I picked the wrong Attorney after I had given my statement to police about an allegations ag...ainst me from out of state. Due to this attorney not giving his full attention to me and my case. I ended up in jail. Attorney Malek and her team After being hired had me out of Jail within 24 hours. She made sure I obtained the leading Polygraph expert to make sure I was able to provide thes polygraphs to Prosection.( the previous Attorney literally did none of this and left me to sit and jail because he was shopping at the grocery store. )She then helped me In Ohio and out of State with 1 1st degree felony rape charges and 1 1st degree felony sexual assault and 2 misdemeanor battery charges. Her and her teams' extensive work and due diligence to my case and for these allegiation's during pre trial and trial made sure I didnt have to spend 19 years in jail for crime I didnt commit. She and her team worked with me in every way for nearly 2 years during preparation and for 10 days of pre trial and trial out of State. If it wasnt for the Malek Legal Team prompt responses to every question, the large amounts of work preparing my case before trial, work done with motions, bonds,, and 10 days of pre trial and trial I would not be able to write this review, I would be sitting in out of State in jail for 19 years due to every baseless charge due to baseless allegiations.
