James Edwin Malek

James Malek has been practicing law since 1995, but he isn’t your typical "loud" trial attorney. He actually has a background in zoology and marine biology, which gives him a unique, scientific edge in the courtroom. Instead of relying on bluff and bluster, James approaches every case with extreme rigor and analytical precision. This methodical style has helped him secure multiple seven-figure results for his clients over the years. Currently, he focuses on the firm’s most complex personal injury and wrongful death cases, situations where families are dealing with the ultimate loss and need someone who can master every complicated detail. Beyond his own caseload, James acts as a vital mentor to the other lawyers at the firm, including Jeff Kluesner, sharing the wisdom he’s gained over decades of trials. When he’s not working, James heads home to Newcomerstown, where he enjoys fishing, hunting, and gardening. He’s also an incredibly proud father. If you give him half a chance, he’ll happily tell you all about his two children’s latest achievements. He’s a man of true substance who consistently delivers for the families he represents.
