After interviewing dozens of attorneys, many sleepless night, the emotional stress my family and I had been going through watching my son go through all this, along with his emotional stress. I had come to meet Linda Malek and her team. Linda was the FIRST and ONLY attorney that had laid all the cards on the table. I hired her immediately!! Never once gave false hope or sugar coated the situation. Linda was upfront, honest, professional, up beat & always provided her thoughts. She walked with us every step of the way. She was always there to take a telephone call & answer questions. If any situation arose Linda and her team were on it A.S.A.P. I personally sat in the court room several times during these cases and was in awh with the wisdom she has for criminal law. The professionalism she shows under pressure, her quick wit about her in the court room. As I sat in the court room on sentencing day. I had listened to the judge run through the charges 1 by 1 and the amount of time he is to potentially serve for each one, I Felt like it was never going to end. When the judge finally finished listing all the charges it added up to almost 20 years. Doubt started to roll in fast. But Linda and her team swiftly took control of the situation. My sons charges were not only reduced, between the two counties he had received time served for the 7 months he was incarcerated and 18 months of probation. My son still has a long road ahead of him with counseling, rehab and therapy. But Thanks to Linda and her team my son can now start a new journey in his life to one day become the man I know he can be. Thank You Linda for everything you and your team has done to bring my family back together. When everything felt lost and hopeless you brought light to the end of the tunnel. To who is ever reading this stop living in the wonder and the what ifs. If you are looking for the right Criminal Attorney you need look no further!!! If you want the best representation possible use Linda Malek and her team. She is upfront, Fair, and honest. The results are still to unbelievable.

Must Hire

My wife had hired another attorney for her second DUI w/refusal after getting pulled over for a speeding ticket. After a couple months it was clear that said attorney wasn't going to fight hard for her. After some discussion and sleepless nights we decided to fire her first attorney and seek new coun...sel. We did a lot of research and Linda Malek seemed to be the answer and this was an understatement. Not only was Linda reassuring and upbeat about what her thoughts were, she flat out said you aren't taking a deal, we will take this to trial if need be. Well there was never a need for that because at the suppression hearing Linda nailed it. I personally sat in the courtroom while the prosecution gave its case and then watched her rip it to shreds with facts not opinions. My wife's case was dismissed because Linda not only cited case law, but she backed up every argument with facts. I'll have to admit I was doubtful of the outcome, but I underestimated her sincere care of her cases and most of all her clients. Linda and her secretary always answered our phone calls along with our concerning questions. I would recommend Linda Malek to anyone I know. Just when your attorney is ready to throw in the towel, think twice and seek other options. Had we not done that, the outcome would have been very different. We will forever be grateful and now have some faith in the justice system when it seems impossible.

Gave me my life back

Not enough can be said about Linda and her team. Her experience (especially in OVI cases) is something you don’t see very often. I had the privilege to have Mrs. Malek as my attorney over the last year over a wrongful charge. Due to some dumb decisions in my past, I was facing some pretty hefty charg...es. Linda and her team worked TIRELESSLY for me to make sure that I was in the best care possible. Karen was always there to remind me of anything I needed and any time I had questions they were always available to ease my mind. Linda is a force to be reckoned with during hearings, which we had to have a lot of due to the bizarre nature of my case. Mrs. Malek is the most competent attorney that I’ve ever been around. Words cannot describe how grateful I am that my case was in her hands. I can confidently say that the outcome of my case was the best I could have received as she got all charges dropped! I made the right decision choosing Linda and I also made a friend in the process.

Attorney Extraordinaire

I had just received my 2nd OVI in two years, i had refused the breathalyzer, my car was impounded, I felt like my life was falling apart. I couldn't sleep and was up early and started looking for an attorney, thats when I found Linda. I saw others online too but for some reason i couldn't get her nam...e out of my head. I went for a walk trying to calm down, and I thought this would be a good time to call, it was early I could leave a message for her and maybe she would get back to me soon. When I called SHE ACTUALLY ANSWERED THE PHONE!!! I couldn't believe it. After I explained everything to her, she was eager to help, and I could tell she was sincere about it. Her confidence and demeanor soothed my anxiety and i started to feel like I had some hope. From that point on she was right on top of every situation, and she made herself available anytime I needed some answers, and believe me at times I was high maintenance. Linda is the epitome of professionalism, and has the ability to establish a rapport with whom ever she is addressing which is a tremendous gift when you operating within the legal system. Linda made the whole process go smoother, with a favorable outcome. If you are seeking an attorney who actually cares about your situation, look no further, Linda Malek is the one you need. I will not hesitate to do the same if the need ever arises again.
