Best in the Business

I retained Attorney Malek for a first degree DV charge. Her and her staff made sure that no stone was unturned to ensure I was given the fairest outcome. As this was my first run in with the law, Attorney Malek was able to get my charge pled down to Disorderly Conduct, a 4th degree misdemeanor. I can...not say enough good things about Linda and her staff. They are always available when you need to speak and will not keep you in the dark about the legal process! She is a god send!!

Best Lawyer in Ohio

Hiring Linda Malek of Malek Law Firm LLC was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. She is exceedingly intelligent, prudent, professional, personable, and tenacious. Her office representatives were communicative and attentive. Several months ago, I was charged with three felonies related to the po...ssession of a Schedule II narcotic (cocaine) in Northeast Ohio. These were serious charges and I thought my life would be over. Linda was highly recommended by a friend, and she came to my first court appearance on short notice. My bond was set, and I was immediately released, thanks to Linda’s efforts; the court officers told me they were very surprised that I was released immediately and on such a low bond. Linda got my misdemeanor dismissed right away. After several court appearances and hearings, Linda was able to get my third-degree felony dismissed. Somehow, she procured the best deal imaginable for me: ILC that would expunge all convictions after 12 months. It’s clear Linda thoroughly knows the criminal defense and court systems. I do not fully understand how she was able to provide me this best-case-scenario resolution, but I cannot recommend her services enough to anyone else who faces criminal charges.

Don't select the "Off Brand", Hire Linda Malek!

As I don’t wish to reveal my information as anyone could understand an OVI scenario to be extremely embarrassing, I did post anonymously to provide this review. Not only embarrassing was this unfortunate situation but the sheer stress that came with it was terrible and quite frankly exhausting. Th...at being said, I consider myself fortunate to not only receive the full dismissal of my OVI case but more importantly to have partnered with Linda Malek and her firm. Trust me when I say that I had researched, contacted and had spoken with multiple attorneys prior to making my decision to move forward with this partnership. Although I was apprehensive about the financial burden that came with hiring an attorney, I can honestly say that she was the only smart decision I made during this entire process, clearly. If you’re reading this review because you’re unfortunately in the same situation I once was, then you may also be thinking to yourself, “gosh, that’s a lot of money, should I go with another more affordable option?” and my answer would be simple if you’re able. It goes back to the old saying that you truly get what you pay for, and in my opinion this is not one of those times to select the “off brand”. Linda Malek specializes in OVI’s, which was one of the main reasons I chose to partner with her. However, what truly set her apart from every other attorney and what solidified my connection is with which I would like to close my review. She said, “I treat every case like it’s my very first” which spoke wonders. I pictured myself graduating law school, passing the bar exam and taking on my very first case well knowing that I’d need to put in the extra time necessary to do the very best job possible. It meant to me that she cared about my personal situation and wanted to provide me the help that I desperately needed in one of the lowest times of my life.

Simply the best!

Linda Malek and her team were easy to work with. Linda is honest about your situation and will lay out a path that defines the best results possible. She is passionate about her work and you will see this when working with her and her team. She took my 2nd DUI offense that was a tier 2 high with mand...atory jail time, 1-5 year suspension, SCRAM ankle monitor, etc. and was able to have it reduced to a 1st offense with minimal fines/suspension. She gets back to you in a timely manner and even took my call on Christmas Day to confirm my court date and expectations. Seamless process and great experience given my situation. Karen, her office manager, was also easy to work with, very responsive, and she will update you with what you need throughout your process. I would absolutely recommend the Malek Law Firm.

Best criminal defense attorney

I was pulled over by state troopers and was facing felony marijuana possession and trafficking. I contacted Linda and she assured me that these kind of cases are her specialty. Due to her diligence and dedication she was able to argue the validity of the search. Thanks to her I got the charges droppe...d to a single low misdemeanor and didn't face any jail time. Would definitely recommend her to family and friends!
