Excellent lawyer

Linda and her team have been consummate professionals throughout a very stressful, emotional and anxious time for myself and my family. From the moment I called after reading her many positive reviews online regarding OVI cases, Linda has always answered my many questions professionally, knowledgeabl...y and with a caring and kind personality. She is highly regarded and produced a very positive outcome in a very challenging case. She is always available to her clients and is encouraging throughout the entire process. I give my highest recommendation for Linda Malek and I am extremely lucky that I had her for my representation.

The best there is !!!!

If you get in trouble with a capitol T you should call her and have her represent you. She isn't cheap guys and girls, but she is well worth the cost...believe me. She is professional and all business, but she isn't brusque or dismissive. She puts the extra effort into making you feel like a pers...on, not just a client. You would never believe this person could play hardball attorney, she's that caring a person with the people she represents. I got to see the hard ass attorney she can be. It's pretty astounding. As for me, I screwed up hard. I was looking at a felony 5 and loss of my licence and loss of my job, jail time, I was going to lose everything. Linda Malek, YOU literally gave me back my life. I still have to pay for what I have done, I'm in a program that will seal my record, no felony, no jail time. no loss of my licence. She did this for me, and I'm eternally grateful for it. Listen to me people, if you have to face the system, you aren't lost, not if she represents you !

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.

OVI

Linda was amazing in her diligence and concern for my case. I was put at ease because she was confident and reassuring throughout the entire process of pre-trial hearings through to a verdict of "Not Guilty" in the trial. I wouldn't have gotten the same result with anyone else. Linda will treat you... like you're family and fight for your rights.

Highly recommend her services as attorney

She is an amazing defense attorney, always up front and honest. If you have any charges against you I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. She works hard and works for your best interest. She knows what she is doing and I have highly recommended her to all of my friends if they ever get in a little bit of trouble. I ha...d a very minor theft charge and she was able to have the case dropped. I am a very nervous person (when it comes to stuff like this) and along the way she explained everything to me and was able to answer all of my question in a way that was reassuring and in a way that was never being talked down to. She took what would normally be a very bad experience and made it as easy and stress free as possible. Very professional, lots of experience in summit county, amazing at responding to you.
