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 was very fortunate to have had Linda Malek as my legal representation with my resent case. She made the whole process as stress-free as possible and I felt totally secure that she had my best interest in mind with every discussion we had together. She was very quick to personally respond with ever...y question I had and kept me well informed as she dealt with the court. I am very pleased with the professional service she provided and I highly recommend Linda to anyone needing representation.

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 Recommended

After searching for the right attorney to represent me in a court case, I knew right away Linda was the right choice. She made me feel confident with her professionalism throughout my case. She explained every detail and possible outcome. I am more than satisfied with how she handled my case and woul...d feel comfortable recommending her to anyone needing her assistance. I can't thank her enough for representing me. Thank you, Linda!

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.
