Professional & Was available whenever we needed her

Ms. Malek and her team were professional, aware of the laws surrounding the case and explained every step of the case. She was available anytime we reached out- day or night. She went above & beyond for our case and would highly recommend to anyone!

Best OVI lawyer in this area!

To begin with.. Malek Law Firm was AMAZING to work with. Herself and staff being beyond professional and highly communicative, was just what I needed to feel at ease with my case being handled the way I wanted it to go. When first contacting Linda, I had no idea the process that I would need to go th...rough. I was anxious and wanted everything to be finished with. She guided me throughout the steps and led me to a spot that I was dreaming for! Linda told me that she would get my OVI dropped down to the lowest it could be, which she did, Reckless Operation. She was determined in handling my case and I am beyond thankful that I hired her as my lawyer. GO HIRE LINDA MALEK! You will not regret it!

Definitely in the Top 5 if not top 3 lawyers in northeast Ohio

So my encounters with Linda first started late September early October of 2019, I had ran into some trouble regarding large large amounts of thc and firearms and sadly the case ended up going federal. From the very beginning she was not only reassuring, but very very professional and she carries a pe...rsonality and demeanor like no other when it comes to her job, I could call her at almost any hour of the day, I could text her at any hour of the day, and I have always gotten timely responses(Within minutes to if it was 1-2am sometimes it would be instant sometimes it would be in the morning when she woke up). Over the years she has treated me more like family, then a client, and from what I see with her other clients as well, she’s a pirhanna, she won’t stop until she gets what she wants, when it comes to her clients she is relentless and her perseverance is unmatched, I’ve had several top tier lawyers all ranging from 5k-40k(For state cases) and the work that she does, is literally unmatched. And if you’re caught red handed like I was, she has the connections, she has the voice, and she does the work, to get you the lowest possible sentence. I went from federal trafficking in thc, along with a possible 924c(poss of firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking) which carries a minimum mandatory 5 year on top of my other charge, to a plea that gave me multiple point reductions that doesn’t carry a mandatory minimum, and that doesn’t discredit me from probation/home confinement, therefore bringing my sentencing guidelines much much lower. I’ve witnessed Linda spend hours on hours on the phone with the FDA agents, with the prosecutor, with whoever was possibly relevant, to get me the best possible deal.

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.
