High level charge to low level charge!!

My boyfriend had been charged with a high-level theft misdemeanor, one right below a felony. Linda was able to get it all the way down to the lowest misdemeanor and able for it to be taken off after 1 year. This was a huge win for us! Linda and her team were VERY good at communicating. If I texted or... called her I didn’t go more than an hour without hearing a response. She genuinely cares about her clients and wants to see them be successful!! She knows so many people in the court system and has so many ties and connections to get you the best service and best outcome!! She is definitely going on my speed dial list if we ever need a lawyer in the future! Thank you Linda!! -Sami and Carter

Best lawyer - best decision to hire her

Linda is a rare lawyer - brilliant, good, professional - and incredibly effective. I found Linda after getting pulled over for a high-tier OVI with an extremely high BAC. She got it reduced to the low tier with the lowest penalties. Linda asked all relevant questions, hunted down all facts, and fough...t for me. She got me what everyone called, "the most lenient" result they had seen out of the court. Linda knows what she is doing 100%. She is worth her weight in gold. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. Her staff was superb also. I had never had any history of anything like this, and she walked me through the process with knowledge and respect. Right before the final step in my case, I got cited again in a different municipality because of a documentation error I made unknowningly. Linda had to step in and negotiate that additional situation immediately to be able to preserve the initial plea. Linda made it happen. She is a miracle worker. I work with lawyers in other professional contexts every day - Linda is among the most brilliant and effective out there. Choosing her was the best decision I could have made at one of the hardest times of my life.

LINDA MALEK IS A LIFESAVER AND THE MOST MAGNIFICENT CRIMINAL DEFENSE LAWYER IN EVERY WAY! YOU MUST HIRE HER

If you are in search of a defense attorney, hire Linda Malek. 5 billion stars are not enough to accurately represent how wonderful she is from every focal point the in the entire horrifying legal process. My son was indicted on 17 counts: 14 felonies and 3 misdemeanors. Included in the counts... was an F2, F3s, F4s, 5 firearm charges each carrying a mandatory 3 year sentence to be served consecutively, sexual battery and sexual imposition, which required being on the registry for 20 years, and the misdemeanors. He was facing 58 years in prison. I had hired another attorney initially, and as the days passed, I had the worst feeling that I had made a terrible mistake. This attorney wasn't doing anything. My son felt that way, too, and so did his older brother. That's how I found Linda. My older son told me "You better dump ____ and hire Linda. She's a shark and she will get things done. My brother's screwed if you don't." So I called her that night near midnight and she called me right back. That impressed me. After speaking with her that first time, I knew I had to hire her. If I had to sell my soul, I was going to hire her. From the first conversation, Linda took control. I knew we would get the absolutely best outcome possible by hiring her. I would never have to say to myself "oh my god, why didn't I fire ___ and hire LInda?" I could relax in that area. She took the immense burden from me and put it on herself. I'll never forget the day I visited my son in jail and told him "Your new lawyer is coming to visit you tomorrow". He looked at me in surprise with hope in his face and said "My new lawyer?" I said "Yes, and I can't wait to hear what you think". He was SO HAPPY after he met with Linda the next day. He said he felt confident and had hope now and that his life wasn't over. He worships her and so do I. Linda is a shark, a barracuda. She's aggressive in all the right ways. That's what we needed. She told me once, "I'm like a dog with a bone with a case. I grab it and I won't let go." And she doesn't. Her staff is as incredibly supportive as she is. Karen and Joe were always there when I needed them. I have no idea how many hours behind the scenes Linda spent on case law, filing motions, and preparing my son's case. It had to be an immense amount. Linda is brilliant, strong, highly detailed oriented, forceful, honest, efficient, realistic, and her people skills are incredible. She spent many hours talking with me about the steps of the case, what was happening now and what would happen next, and reassuring me. I asked her to always tell me the truth, and she always did. She never sugarcoated anything. So when she told me positive, hopeful things, I could believe her. My son and I trust her completely. If she said something, it was true. Period. My son's case turned out the very best it could have turned out. He ended up pleading to two F3s. My son went from 17 charges to 2 charges. His sentence was fair. He received 18 months and is out now on judicial. Linda took charge of the judicial release process and guided my son through it, explaining each step, when he should file, and what he needed to accomplish in prison to be granted release. Also, my son had an arrest warrant from a DUI in Traffic that made no sense. LInda got that recalled in 10 minutes, so that worry is gone. LInda calls to see how my son and I are doing. Linda went to the trouble of finding and giving us the name of a church that has programs for felons, without us asking! Linda did not have to do that. The fact that she did tells us all how caring she is. Linda, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We are so very grateful to you. Neither one of us would have survived without you. We will love you forever. From the

Save your time and energy. There’s no one better than Linda Malek.

If you could put a picture in the dictionary under professional, honest, hard working, expedient, superb, it would be a picture of Linda Malek. Within minutes of getting falsely pulled over, I knew who I was going to call. She had been recommended to me over and over again by people who had been in s...imilar situations and it was a number that I was told to store in my important contacts. I was extremely nervous but was put at ease when I made the call. She stepped in and handled everything so rapidly. She knew what she was doing every step of the way. And let me tell you, she knows how to save steps. My admiration for her is solid. She’s just a true professional. My charge was dismissed and I was able to drive again that same day. I saved lots of money and time by going with Ms. Malek. My greatest gift to anyone reading this review is to put her number in your contacts and if you are ever in a situation like I was, know that you will be in great hands.
