Excellent Attorney and Great Result

Linda Malek and her team did an amazing job and i would recommend her to anyone. I was charged with a DUI and in a terrible position. Linda was easy to talk to and made me feel confident that she could get a good result. She was honest and communicated with me well. I was obviously intoxicated and di...d not have much hope that I would get a good plea deal. I was able to plea down and did not get an OVI. Also instead of my license being suspended for one year for refusal, I got my license back when I signed my plea deal. I got a better outcome then I could have imagined. Additionally, the courts were closed down because covid-19, but Linda still got me in front of the judge. She made it a virtual meeting and made signing made plea deal very easy. I can honestly say Linda is an exceptional attorney and is a great choice to represent you.

Highly Professional

I had my first run in with the law and it was a big first charge (1st offense OVI). I was extremely nervous and anxious but Linda and her team made me feel like I stood a chance. Linda was very upfront and worked through my case, explaining every step of the way. I felt at ease, when I was able to te...xt her or anyone on her team with questions and concerns, at any time. After long negotiations, Linda was able to negotiate down to a physical control charge! I can not thank Linda enough!

Saved a PhD student!

Late on Aug. 15, 2019, I got a call, no parent ever wants to get. My youngest son was calling from a police station because he had been stopped for no tail/license plate lights. Because he admitted to having a couple of drinks, he was asked and cooperated with taking the field sobriety tests and a b...reathalizer. After that, he was charged with OVI first offense. The breathalizer results were .096 My son was due to leave the state in 1 week for college so, after the shock wore off and we learned the consequences of his charge, (even for a 1st offense!), I reached out to Linda in an e-mail. It must have been close to midnight, if not later! I was very surprised with her prompt response time. First thing, that morning, she was calling me. We went to her office that same day and hired her to represent my son. Linda was able to put a suppression motion together, after viewing the video from the officer's cruiser. This resulted in the prosecutor offering a plea deal. My son's OVI-1st offense, was reduced to physical control, involving alcohol. (this is a non-moving violation with 0 points on your license). He was given minimal fines & costs, 6 mos. license suspension (retro to August 15!), 3 days D.I.P, and the judge waived the reinstatement fee to get his license back! Now my son can concentrate on school because he doesn't have this hanging over his head. Thank you, Linda, for giving us our lives back!

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!
