As I don’t wish to reveal my information, as anyone could understand an OVI scenario to be extremely embarrassing, I did create a throwaway account to provide this review. Not only embarrassing was this unfortunate situation but the sheer stress that came with it was terrible and quite frankly exhausting. That being said, I consider myself fortunate to not only receive the full dismissal of my OVI case despite having evidence of a BAC over the legal limit but more importantly to have partnered with Linda Malek and her firm. Trust me when I say that I had researched, contacted and had spoken with multiple attorneys prior to making my decision to move forward with this partnership. Although I was apprehensive about the financial burden that came with hiring an attorney, I can honestly say that she was the only smart decision I made during this entire process, clearly. If you’re reading this review because you’re unfortunately in the same situation I once was, then you may also be thinking to yourself, “gosh, that’s a lot of money, should I go with a more affordable option?” and my answer would be simple if you’re able. It goes back to the old saying that you truly get what you pay for, and in my opinion this is not one of those times to select the “off brand”. Linda Malek specializes in OVI’s, which was one of the main reasons I chose to partner with her. However, what truly set her apart from every other attorney and what solidified my connection is with which I would like to close my review. She said, “I treat every case like it’s my very first” which spoke wonders. I pictured myself graduating law school, passing the bar exam and taking on my very first case well knowing that I’d need to put in the extra time necessary to do the very best job possible. It meant to me that she cared about my personal situation and wanted to provide me the help that I desperately needed in one of the lowest times of my life.

Linda and her team are probably the most honest people I have met. She even contacted me and my family when I went with a different attorney. I feel that it is up to yourself to make the right decisions, but it was nice that she reached out. I hope to never see her again, but highly recommend. Good Luck to everyone, every case is different but she will try and people love her! I hope I can refer her again to anyone in need. She will stick by you.

Linda is the strongest defense you can get. You would be lucky to have her by your side. She worked miracles for me. I saw her in court several times winning her cases with others as well. If you want to come out on the winning side, Linda is the one!

I hired Linda Malek to help battle my case. As this was my first charge, I had no idea what the necessary steps were, or even what the process was ahead of me. Linda went way above and beyond to fight my case and was able to get my case reduced to a lesser charge after going to a suppression hearing, it was not a simple plea or negotiation. Linda was more than worth every penny and would never want to hire another attorney other than Linda. Karen was also extremely helpful as I knew I could shoot her a text, call, or email and she would answer any questions I had through the process and always reminded me of any hearings. You will 1000% be more than satisfied with hiring Linda to handle your case.

I had just received my 2nd OVI in two years, i had refused the breathalyzer, my car was impounded, I felt like my life was falling apart. I couldn't sleep and was up early and started looking for an attorney, thats when I found Linda. I saw others online too but for some reason i couldn't get her name out of my head. I went for a walk trying to calm down, and I thought this would be a good time to call, it was early I could leave a message for her and maybe she would get back to me soon. When I called SHE ACTUALLY ANSWERED THE PHONE!!! I couldn't believe it. After I explained everything to her, she was eager to help, and I could tell she was sincere about it. Her confidence and demeanor soothed my anxiety and i started to feel like I had some hope. From that point on she was right on top of every situation, and she made herself available anytime I needed some answers, and believe me at times I was high maintenance. Linda is the epitome of professionalism, and has the ability to establish a rapport with whom ever she is addressing which is a tremendous gift when you operating within the legal system. Linda made the whole process go smoother, with a favorable outcome. If you are seeking an attorney who actually cares about your situation, look no further, Linda Malek is the one you need. I will not hesitate to do the same if the need ever arises again.

Not enough can be said about Linda and her team. Her experience (especially in OVI cases) is something you don’t see very often. I had the privilege to have Mrs. Malek as my attorney over the last year over a wrongful charge. Due to some dumb decisions in my past, I was facing some pretty hefty charges. Linda and her team worked TIRELESSLY for me to make sure that I was in the best care possible. Karen was always there to remind me of anything I needed and any time I had questions they were always available to ease my mind. Linda is a force to be reckoned with during hearings, which we had to have a lot of due to the bizarre nature of my case. Mrs. Malek is the most competent attorney that I’ve ever been around. Words cannot describe how grateful I am that my case was in her hands. I can confidently say that the outcome of my case was the best I could have received as she got all charges dropped! I made the right decision choosing Linda and I also made a friend in the process.

Linda Malek is nothing short of a miracle worker! I highly recommend her to everyone that is facing any type of legal issue. I was facing my second dui within a 10 year time period and thought I was completely screwed. That was, until I contacted Linda. The entire time she made me feel stress free and confident about my case. She kept me informed the entire time and was always fighting for me! Linda was able to completely get my case dismissed and I couldn’t thank her enough! Five stars doesn’t do her justice. Absolutely amazing!!!

She is an amazing defense attorney, always up front and honest. If you have any charges against you I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. She works hard and works for your best interest. She knows what she is doing and I have highly recommended her to all of my friends if they ever get in a little bit of trouble. I was accused of a very minor theft charge and she was able to have the case dropped. I am a very nervous person (when it comes to stuff like this) and along the way she explained everything to me and was able to answer all of my question in a way that was reassuring and in a way that was never being talked down to. She took what would normally be a very bad experience and made it as easy and stress free as possible. Very professional, lots of experience in summit county, amazing at responding to you.

I was facing my 2nd ovi within 10yrs, so naturally I was panicking. I had shopped a handful of lawyers and no one else seemed to present themself with the knowledge and confidence as Linda Malek did. I knew I needed someone that was feisty and going to fight, Linda Malek is that laywer! Linda was able to find a way to reduce my 2nd ovi to failure to control with no points and no suspension. She is nothing short of a miracle worker and worth every penny! I can say that she will be on speed dial in case of any legal emergency. Highly recommend!

Linda did an excellent job getting my OVI with an ALS for not blowing, knocked down to a 2 point non-alcohol related offense with no suspension and only $181 fine. I thought I had it in my mind how we should go after the case, but she told me just let her do her job and it would be OK. While I was hesitant at 1st about the cost, you definitely get what you pay for. Linda is the best

As a parent, when you have a child that does something stupid and you want to make sure the punishment fits the crime - call Linda. She was able to get our case dismissed. She is familiar with the Cleveland area docket, Plaintiff Attorneys and Judges. She is an excellent negotiator and she won't drain your wallet.

Linda Malek and her team of experts helped me out of a dire situation with having less than nothing to work with. The bottom line is that three out of four moving traffic violations were dropped and a high OVI charge was moved to the lowest level. This far exceeded my expectations. If you find yourself in need of a criminal defense attorney who is results driven and will fight very hard for you to receive the best possible outcome, look no further than Linda Malek.

Linda is an incredible OVI/DUI Specialist. Where other attorneys would have given up on our case, Linda stepped up and got the charges dismissed. Her knowledge of the law impressed us at every stage of this process. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an OVI/DUI specialist. Her pricing is right on point with all other attorneys, and she really has your back when things seem hopeless.

Linda and her staff did an excellent job with my DUI. She got my driving privileges back within 2 weeks which was about a month earlier then I was suppose to receive privileges. She then got my DUI charge dropped down to a small traffic violation along with the dismissal of the year long ALS driving suspension.

She was very easy to work with.. seemed as if she was helping out family. Her assistant was very helpful and reminded me of court dates and updates on the progress of the case. They were both very knowledgeable and there wasn't one moment where I felt uncomfortable about her taking my DUI case or being able to achieve the smaller offense and suspension termination.

Linda and her staff worked very hard which was shown when the results of my DUI case were better then I thought was possible.

I would hire her again for any other legal issues and will recommend to any family or friends that come across any legal trouble.

Linda is the BEST of th best! My husband was up against a Hit and Skip charge. Linda was able to have the charge dismissed. Linda is very professional and will go to bat for you as if you are family. She is always available to answer your questions and is honest and up front with you. She will not let you down. We are very pleased with her and her service. If you are looking at charges that will impact you and your family she is the one to call.

Linda and her team have been consummate professionals throughout a very stressful, emotional and anxious time for myself and my family. From the moment I called after reading her many positive reviews online regarding OVI cases, Linda has always answered my many questions professionally, knowledgeably and with a caring and kind personality. She is highly regarded and produced a very positive outcome in a very challenging case. She is always available to her clients and is encouraging throughout the entire process. I give my highest recommendation for Linda Malek and I am extremely lucky that I had her for my representation.

I had met Linda Malek back in 2014 due to some issues and I have to honestly say the term “ Going above and beyond “ is an absolute understatement when it comes to this wonderful lady I have never had anyone show as much care and compassion and dedication as she has done for me and don’t let that beautiful heart and tiny stature fool you she’s a savage like a little female assassin lol she is on top of her game and fought for me with everything she had and never once made me wait for answers I highly recommend if anyone needs a lawyer you choose her theres no one better I won’t promise you anything I’ll guarantee you that she will make the impossible possible trust me you’ll love this woman

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 mandatory 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.

Linda's passion, expertise, and drive to win was instantly evident to me from the first call. Supwr impressed that she contacted me back on a Sunday regarding that Saturday's OVI.

Upon hiring her, I was traveling out of state and she was able to work with the Revenna courts to ensure I didn't have to fly back to Ohio early to be at my first court appearance and also not face a warrant for not appearing.

She and her fantastic right hand woman, Karen, continued to handle every detail along the way and I barely had to lift a finger. I only went to court when absolutely necessary and she worked closely and deligently with the prosecutor to show I was not intoxicated at the time the ticket was issued. She got my OVI dismissed. My refusal to blow still faced consequences but it was able to be reduced from a years license suspension, to a traffic violation.

Thank you Linda. I'll be sure to hire you again if ever in need around your area!

Linda is a excellent attorney with a strong presence and a passion to defend her clients. Over the course of my case she explained every step and how the process of the courts worked. She even showed and walked me down to the counter where you pay! Not only did Linda deliver great customer service but she also got results. I was very pleased with her process of establishing a defense and then negotiating a even better resolution!
Also she is a great Allie to veterans.

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 dropped to a single low misdemeanor and didn't face any jail time. Would definitely recommend her to family and friends!

Linda was fantastic to work with. She is knowledgeable about specific laws and violations. She personally helped turn my OVI/Refusal into a physical control with minimum fines and court costs. Additionally, I do not have party plates or the interlock device. When she says that she is willing to help normal people like me she means it. Linda's team wrote a tailored suppression motion that resulted in the prosecution offering me a plea. She takes great pride in personalizing each and every case to obtain the best results. I am happy that I hired her as my attorney and would recommend her to any and everyone that wants the best representative they can get

Can't say enough about Miss Malek and her staff! She is compassionate, down to earth, open and honest. Her staff kept me informed during the entire process; sending me reminders the day before appearances and keeping me updated on all changes without me having to ask or seek out information. She is very proactive, maintains great relationships with court personnel, and truly is a lawyer that cares about you! If you want a lawyer who will treat you like family, be attentive to your individual needs, and be a Grizzly Bear defending her cubs in the courtroom - Linda is the lawyer for you!

Got my OVI dismissed in Medina County!

She filed a motion to suppress & was prepared to go to trial as the Medina County prosecutor thought it was “an open and shut case.” This guy had no idea who he was dealing with. She is one of only 2 attorneys in the state of Ohio certified in field sobriety training and knows big names at the highway safety institute.

She got copies of the body cams which showed the police failed miserably at asking me the right questions about my evening (bc I had some drinks but was not drunk!) & correctly executing the steps of performing the field sobriety test.

After she tt the prosecutor about the footage and made him actually watch it... he realized going to trial would embarrass the police, the county and himself for being incompetent and yet so arrogant. The judge, begrudgingly, agreed and dismissed the charges. THANK YOU!

When I first walked into Linda's office, I was not only facing jail time, but was at risk of losing primary custody of my children for said "offense". The issue, although something viewed as being very minor outside of court, was being made into something very serious in court. The lawyers I had before not only helped get me into the situation by not properly representing me, but they also did not guide me or give me the correct advice that would have avoided this situation altogether. From the very beginning of hiring Linda, she was extremely direct and told me exactly what needed to be done. She broke down all of the mistakes made in the previous situation and how we were going to move forward to get this rectified. She stepped into the courtroom and truly saved me from this situation. I walked in thinking I could go to jail and lose everything to leaving the courtroom to go back to my normal, everyday life like nothing happened. She is extremely well-respected inside and outside of the courtroom for the fact that she is well-versed in law and very straight forward and honest. She is available at all times when you need advice or run into an issue and will help you just because. It is definitely not just about the money with her, like I have found with previous lawyers. I wasted tens of thousands on legal fees and got no where before finding her. She actually cares and wants the best for people, whether you want to hear her advice or not, she knows what she is talking about and will help get you to where you want and need to be. I hope to never be in this situation ever again, but if I or any friend/family member ever is, we won't be calling anyone but Linda as long as she is around. She is the REAL deal and I am so grateful for all of her help!

I was dealing with a very difficult case and was fearing the worst. Linda assured me I would be fine and I didn’t need to worry. She left no stone unturned while looking into my case. The result was better than I could have imagined and I came out on top. She truly cares about her clients and is not afraid to fight for them. She is very professional and her staff is amazing. I would recommend her to anyone in need or anyone who thinks all hope is lost. With Linda there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.

If you are in search of a defense attorney, hire Linda Malek, no matter what you have to do to hire her. 5 billion stars are not enough to accurately represent how wonderful she is from every focal point in the 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 right there. 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 just looked at me in shock and surprise and 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 her the next day. He said he felt confident with her 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 "Liz, 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. She is brilliant, hardworking, forceful, strong, highly detail oriented, honest, 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. And they all turned out to be true! My son's case turned out the very best that it could have turned out. My son ended up pleading to two F3s. He 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 and me through it, explaining each step, when he should file, and what he needed to accomplish in prison in order 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.

My son was faced with some serious charges, Several felonies and many misdemeanors in two different counties. After interviewing dozens of attorneys, many sleepless night, the emotional stress my family and I had been going through watching my son go through all this, along with his emotional stress. I had come to meet Linda Malek and her team. Linda was the FIRST and ONLY attorney that had laid all the cards on the table. I hired her immediately!! Never once gave false hope or sugar coated the situation. Linda was upfront, honest, professional, up beat & always provided her thoughts. She walked with us every step of the way. She was always there to take a telephone call & answer questions. If any situation arose Linda and her team were on it A.S.A.P.

I personally sat in the court room several times during these cases and was in awh with the wisdom she has for criminal law. The professionalism she shows under pressure, her quick wit about her in the court room.

As I sat in the court room on sentencing day. I had listened to the judge run through the charges 1 by 1 and the amount of time he is to potentially serve for each one, I Felt like it was never going to end. When the judge finally finished listing all the charges it added up to almost 20 years.

Doubt started to roll in fast. But Linda and her team swiftly took control of the situation. My sons charges were not only reduced, between the two counties he had received time served for the 7 months he was incarcerated and 18 months of probation.

My son still has a long road ahead of him with counseling, rehab and therapy. But Thanks to Linda and her team my son can now start a new journey in his life to one day become the man I know he can be.

Thank You Linda for everything you and your team has done to bring my family back together. When everything felt lost and hopeless you brought light to the end of the tunnel.

To who is ever reading this stop living in the wonder and the what ifs. If you are looking for the right Criminal Attorney you need look no further!!! If you want the best representation possible use Linda Malek and her team. She is upfront, Fair, and honest. The results are still to unbelievable.

My wife had hired another attorney for her second DUI w/refusal after getting pulled over for a speeding ticket. After a couple months it was clear that said attorney wasn't going to fight hard for her. After some discussion and sleepless nights we decided to fire her first attorney and seek new counsel. We did a lot of research and Linda Malek seemed to be the answer and this was an understatement. Not only was Linda reassuring and upbeat about what her thoughts were, she flat out said you aren't taking a deal, we will take this to trial if need be. Well there was never a need for that because at the suppression hearing Linda nailed it. I personally sat in the courtroom while the prosecution gave its case and then watched her rip it to shreds with facts not opinions. My wife's case was dismissed because Linda not only cited case law, but she backed up every argument with facts. I'll have to admit I was doubtful of the outcome, but I underestimated her sincere care of her cases and most of all her clients. Linda and her secretary Karen, always answered our phone calls along with our concerning questions. I would recommend Linda Malek and her great staff to anyone I know. Just when your attorney is ready to throw in the towel, think twice and seek other options. Had we not done that, the outcome would have been very different. We will forever be grateful and now have some faith in the justice system when it seems impossible.

I am an attorney myself, but I don't practice criminal law. We hired Linda to represent a family member who was in need of her assistance on a tough case. She did an outstanding job working with the court and the prosecutor's office, and was able to achieve the best possible result - charges dismissed! I would not hesitate to hire her again should the need arise.

Excellent attorney. I got arrested for Oui and a open bottle of alcohol in my car. She got it down too disorderly conduct. I would recommend her to everyone. She is top notch. Her Secretary is great too.

Hands down the most professional and well rounded attorneys in northeast Ohio. She will take the time to listen to you and figure out a path that won't run you out of money and defend you.

Words cannot begin to express the gratitude that I have for Linda Malek. I was facing my first DUI offense with an open container violation. I found her through Google and when I read her reviews, I knew I had to have her help me. Her reviews were beyond accurate. She worked so hard to get my DUI charge reduced and the open container violation was dismissed. She was faced with some difficult evidence on my end and despite that she was able to get the best result for me. Linda will communicate with you through the whole process. She makes sure that you understand what is happening and all the possible outcomes. She is very honest and tells you things that are hard to hear, but she is genuine and caring. Ultimately, I am a better person after going through this experience and working through it with Linda’s support. If you are in need of someone in your corner that is willing to do whatever it takes, Linda is the lawyer for you!

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 similar 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.

After my experience, I sincerely from the bottom of my heart would like to help make this choice easier for those in search of the best defense they can find. Do not underestimate the importance of this decision, the end result very much depends on it. Linda truly is extraordinary, she’ll find ways to defend you that most attorneys would overlook. In my case she definitely exceeded my expectations by far. I was facing a felony 2 charge for improper discharge of a firearm into my neighbors condo, and a misdemeanor charge for using firearms while intoxicated. A charge that carries a prison term of 2 to 8 years. They also added a 3 year mandatory specification to it. So I was looking at a minimum of five years in prison. I was being charged as if I did it intentionally, but it was unintentional. Had I not had an attorney with a keen understanding of the specifics of the law, there’s no doubt I would have gone to prison. The charges were ultimately dropped to a felony 4. I won’t be going to prison, and it will be exponged after a year. My life could have been completely destroyed without Linda’s help. I have a 13-year-old daughter I thought I may not see the rest of her childhood, a thought which often brought me to tears. Thank you Linda. To all of you reading these reviews, trying to decide which attorney to go with, stop searching and call Linda. It doesn’t get any better than this.

I hired Linda Malek for a legal problem involving a felony 2 for a family member. Facing a very serious criminal charge, Linda accomplished outstanding results. Like a super hero coming to the rescue, she never gave up fighting the fight. She is an amazing, hard working, caring, and down to earth attorney with a lot of common sense. I was overjoyed with the outcome of this case. She is my hero. If you are looking for an attorney that puts her heart and soul into helping you, look no further. She is the best. Her knowledge of the law is unsurpassed.

Linda M. Malek is a caring, highly competent, truthful, and trust-worthy Criminal Defense Attorney. Linda negotiated for me to receive money I loaned to a “friend”.
The “friend” did not want to pay me back, which is why she had to get involved. When I tried to call to get my money, he attempted to file charges for telephone harassment. It’s refreshing to know her as a great leader and wonderful advocate in resolving the unjust issues. I’m thankful and comforted to know that we have this terrific attorney, Linda M. Malek, in our community. In closing, I’d be remiss if I did not offer my heartfelt thank you to Attorney Malek and her magnificent staff for their tireless hours and efforts to resolve this serious case for me.

One of the first times I've actually seen an attorney fight for a client! Seemed a bit over confident at first but delivered as promised. She got my case dismissed. Couldn't be happier. Thank you so much Linda for saving my life.

5 stars is not enough. To say Linda is the best is not enough. To say the cost to hire Linda is priceless is not enough. Linda is the utmost professional, kind, tough, driven, do whatever it takes, attention to every detail, go the extra mile attorney you could have. A person very dear to me made a big mistake & got into trouble with a DUI charge. This person had more than 1 in the past 10 years. Linda spent hours determined to find details of the case to fight, & fight hard. This person was facing jail, fines & loss of driving privelidges for a very long time. Linda fought hard and the end result was a miracle, dropped to reckless-op. Linda is a lifesaver and her knowledge & experience & drive is beyond what words can describe. Thank you Linda Malek.

I am so thankful that I hired Linda Malek to defend me for my OVI charges. She worked tirelessly for almost a year and did not rest until my OVI was dismissed. Her attention to detail and endless work to uncover every fact helped me feel confident throughout the case. She does not only treat and care for you like a client, but sees you as a person. Linda is extremely knowledgable! She continues to expand her professional development on a regular basis as well as ongoing collaboration with other attorneys. The legal fees were very reasonable, considering the amount of work she did for my case. I would highly recommend Linda Malek as an attorney. She helped me get my life back!

It's never a good thing to drink and drive but when I made that mistake and needed Ms. Malek for my OVI case, I'm glad I choose to hire her! She's very timely at getting back to me when I have questions or needed help with the legal process, which was very reassuring and comforting. She also has no problem standing up for you even in front of a ridiculously tough court system. She has a "fiery", "take charge" type of personality which is what you want on your side when your up against a court system that's trying to push you around... I would definitely recommend her to anyone in need of her professional legal help.

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 to every 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.

When a family member was cited with DUI, I searched online for the best representation around. We most certainly found it in Linda Malek. Linda was careful to explain all possible outcomes; which I greatly appreciated. Upon meeting, it was her personality and that candor that sealed the deal. Having been through DUI conviction in the past, I can say with certainty she is the most knowledgeable in her field. Linda is a fighter and just as she fought for us, she will fight for you. My family could not have been in better hands.

I highly recommend Linda Malek for the great job she did fighting my son’s alleged OVI charge. She didn't let up. She challenged and they ended up dropping the charges. We are so appreciative of her. From the moment we first called until my son’s case was over she made us feel valued, respected and well represented.

Linda made it clear from the beginning that the only outcome she wanted was to get the charge dismissed. She was able to have the original, not so favorable judge recuse themselves from the case and followed through. The charge was dismissed before ever making it to pre-trial. Money beyond well spent!

It was incredibly irresponsible and dumb for me to get a DUI. Very dumb!! However, it was incredibly fortunate that I selected Linda Malek to represent me. She is terrific both as an attorney and as a compassionate person! I can say without question that she has every positive attribute credited to her in the previous reviews… plus some. Linda “walked” me through the process at a time when my anxiety was at fever pitch; my fears of the unknown were working on my mind continuously and I was very nervous. While working with her she displayed confidence that she would do the absolute best for me which and she did. To say the least: I was MORE than satisfied. Linda is an extremely competent attorney, as well as a fine person that is also compassionate and understanding.

Attorney Linda Malek is a knowledgeable, hardworking and a no-nonsense lawyer that will fight for her client. She is overwhelmingly personable which is a rare characteristic for most lawyers. As you observe her in the courthouse, it is immediately obvious that she is both well-known, liked and most importantly respected. She will work tirelessly to resolve your problem(s) and stays in constant communication with her clients. These attributes are rare in her profession, She can be trusted to work to obtain the most beneficial resolution for her clients.

a very driven, intuitive, and well rounded Lawyer. I am 20 years old, having received an OVI in February 16'. There was a huge hill to climb to getting me out of trouble that could jeopardize my future in many ways. I found her on google, and seen marvelous reviews, on our first time meeting her professionalism, and attentiveness stood out to me, well above expectations. She knows how to take control, and is constantly learning all the new laws that pass daily, or weekly, keeping herself educated on anything knew to help your case. She had gotten my OVI dropped, to put that in perspective, it should not have been possible to get that done. With her, it is money well spent, you can trust her to get it done. She will be my Lawyer any Time I need something. Thanks again Linda!!! -George

Linda Malek is the attorney you UNDENIABLY NEED, if you are facing any sort of criminal charges. Attorney Malek recently represented me in the Cuyahoga Falls / Stow area. I was in a very precarious situation, with minimal hope for a positive resolution. This is where Attorney Malek stepped in. From arraignment to hearing, Linda and her team unswervingly fought for me. Linda comprehensively addressed each and every one of my concerns; alleviating many doubts and explaining things in a very clear and concise manner. She was always accessible and worked determinedly on my case. Her unparalleled knowledge of Ohio OVI law, coupled with her tenacious analytical examination of each and every part of my case, produced a result that was nothing short of a miracle.. She was able to negotiate a reduction in penalties that was unheard of in this area, including ZERO jail time and left me in utter awe of her capabilities. Linda quite simply, does not give up and will not back down. She fights whole-heartedly for her clients and WILL produce results. Even after the case ended, she made a point to check in with me and make sure I am ok, BECAUSE SHE CARES and to ensure I have no other questions. Her passion, empathy, experience, professionalism and rapport with the courts are assets you cannot afford to be without, if facing ANY sort of criminal charges. Hopefully, I will never require her services again, but I would recommend her to ANYONE and EVERYONE I know. For me, there is no alternative.

I can without a doubt say, Attorney Linda Malek, will work above and beyond on your behalf in court. If you were recently charged with DUI/OVI in anywhere in Northeast Ohio, this is your attorney! There are many nuisances to the OVI law in Ohio, which many attorney's are ill prepared for. Linda is not, she has gone the extra mile to know the intricacies of the law. I would encourage you to visit her website and see exactly what I'm referring to. I was potentially looking at 6 months in jail and Linda was able to get 180 days down to just 20 days due to her advanced knowledge of the Ohio DUI law!!! Conviction of DUI/OVIs are life altering events and not to be handled by amateurs, you need representation that knows this specialized law. Call Linda for this.

If you are looking for a criminal defense attorney, this is the route you want to go. Not only is she fast and efficient but her cut-throat, straight to the point, assess the facts approach is what makes her stunning in the courtroom. She can work with whatever cards you have been dealt.
I think the most important attribute of Linda Malek would be the fact that she is in the 1% that cares about the individuals in her cases. Tired of having an attorney that could really careless about the end game for you? No offense because I have been there. Like I said, best bet would be Linda Malek. She's well respected in the community and in the court room and truly cares about what's happening to YOU.
I could not be happier with the services Linda Malek has provided for my family and I'm positive I can speak for all of us when I say that. She has turned a fairly ugly case into a whole new opportunity for my brother. Thank you.

I hired Ms. Malek to represent me in a domestic violence case in which I was wrongfully accused. Due to her persistence in uncovering the truth, her extensive knowledge of the law, and her ability to stand her ground in the court room she was able to get my case completely dismissed ! I would highly recommend her to anyone; she far exceeded my expectations.
