Best Choice

There is honestly no better than Attorney Linda Malek. Not only is she exceptional, but every single person in her firm is warm, courteous and competent. Recently, my husband and I found ourselves in a difficult and extremely stressful situation with a contractor who had taken our money and not fulfi...lled his obligations to us. I am a teacher and my husband is a nurse, we both work long weeks and the stress of this situation was overwhelming. We reached out to Ms. Malek and from the moment we spoke, I knew we were in good hands. She was incredibly knowledgeable and her confidence immediately put us at ease. She was clear, honest, and direct. Attorney Malek wasted no time in contacting the contractor. She handled a difficult and contentious situation with grace and expertise. Her legal savvy and her calm determination helped secure the best possible outcome for us in the shortest amount of time. The contractor who had essentially stolen materials and had "botched" much of our remodel has already paid us part of what he owed and produced many of the materials. We are confident Attney Malek will make sure we recieve everything we paid for. We could not be more grateful to the Malek firm. We very highly and enthusiastically recommend Attorney Malek!!

Don’t waste your money!!

Hiring Linda was the WORST mistake I could’ve made! I can only speak on my personal interaction with her and her staff. I was directed to speak to Karen her secretary as a contact person. One day I called Karen to two times in 30 minutes the next thing I know Linda is calling me screaming at me ( whi...ch she has done several times ) telling me don’t stress out her staff. In my opinion this law firm was unprofessional and rude and a waste of my money! I spent $5000 with zero results. I have a hard time believing some of these reviews from the experienced I’ve personally witnessed! In my experience with this law firm I was highly disappointed there was no face-to-face meetings I’m not even convinced that she watched any of the videos from the case, we NEVER had a a single meeting with her explaining what she was going to be doing when we went to court! Absolutely the worst business decision I’ve ever made! Trust me there’s 1 million lawyers out there that will treat you way better!

Hi Nicole! We just received your one star review. We are so sorry you were unhappy with our service. The irony is that you were referred to our Firm by a top lawyer and he told you of Malek Law Firms certifications and stellar abilities. Unfortunately, We are not Houdini and when the facts of your case are terrible-it doesnt allow us to come up with many options to defend you. We never lied to you and were very upfront about that. You messaged our staff incessantly and we responded to you each and every time you messaged us. Additionally, your sentencing guidelines should’ve been much worse as this was not your first bad situation. You should have been sentenced on a high tier, but because of our hard work you were able to get a very low tier sentencing guideline. You recieved a huge break in sentencing, but you wanted the case to disappear when you had many priors. There are just some people that you can’t please-and you are one of them. Additionally, we noticed that you have a total of six reviews and FOUR are one star. You seem to be a very unhappy person. One of your five star reviews happens to be for a marijuana dispensary and the other is for pizza. We are definitely sorry we couldnt pull a rabbit out of a hat for you, but based on our many happy clients, THIS review does not concern us at The Malek Law Firm.

A True Blessing

Saying my expectations were exceeded would be an understatement. A few months ago, I found myself in a high stress legal situation and was feeling helpless. A mutual friend of mine that had recently finished up with a similar case, happily sent her my way. He could not say enough good things about Ms.... Linda Malik, and had me convinced that she was without a doubt the best option for me. I was given Miss Malik’s phone number and called her that evening. When the conversation began, My stress level and anxiety were through the roof as I frantically tried to explain the situation to her. She was a blessing in disguise because within about 5 to 10 minutes of our initial conversation, she had me feeling good about the situation and the fact that we could overcome it together. I believe the difference between Linda and other lawyers is that Linda cares about each case personally and treats her clients like family rather than people in business together. The court case ended up being about a nine month process From start to finish, and Miss Malik would call me frequently and update me about the situation and how to proceed. As a busy college student with a hectic schedule, the last thing I needed to worry about was a legal case, and Miss Malik was the reason I could stay levelheaded. We came out on the winning side of the case and the relief was overwhelming. I am forever grateful for Linda and her firm, And would very highly recommend her to anyone in a tight legal situation. Thank you again to Ms Linda Malek and her team.

5/5

Linda and her soon to be partner James are some of the most knowledgeable lawyers in northeast Ohio. They work together as a team and communicate all their ideas to make sure that every valuable detail is included in the court. I am blown away at how great of a lawyer Linda is and I am not one to get... on and write reviews about businesses, but I had to share my experience working with her because people need to know that Malek Law Firm is the BEST place to reach out to if you need a lawyer. 10 out of 5 stars from me. Take my word when I say the best lawyer in Ohio.

Great attorney

She was extremely helpful in reducing my case above and beyond my expectations. She was helpful and informative through the entire process. Very reasonably priced for all she did for me. Her assistant Karen was amazing as well.
