Azadeh A Malek, Esq.

Worked very well with my child during a difficult situation. Child trusted her and got along with her very well due to her building a rapport with the child whom she represented, which is a GAL’s job to represent a child and look out for their best interest not that of a parent. Communicated with me and conducted an investigation involving police and attempted to communicate with other parties involved with no response from them or refusal to cooperate. She even handled the backlash from the other parties extremely professional.

We had a very complex civil case which was tied to a criminal case and we needed an attorney who could navigate both areas. Azadeh was recommended to us by another attorney and we are so glad we decided to hire her. Azadeh effectively represented our interests and provided us with strategic options. She understood both criminal and civil law, was prepared, and worked well with all parties involved. This is what we were expecting when we initially hired her. What we didn’t expect was Azadeh’s dedication to our cases. She was amazing! She was honest with us and invested in the outcome. I have worked with many other attorneys, and Azadeh was their equal with regard to knowledge, legal theories, and court room eloquence, but she FAR exceeded the rest in terms of heart. Again, she was amazing!

GAL’s as we know work for children involved in custody situations. In my family members particular case Azadeh was assigned by the court. The other parties involved in this case do not genuinely care about the child, they seek visitation for the wrong reasons as part of their narcissistic manipulative controlling ways. She fell for it and went to court with her ridiculous recommendation that supervised (there was a reason for that) visits be unsupervised!!! This is a perfect example of a broken judicial system and why things happen to so many innocent children. It’s very sad! We will be hiring an attorney and seeking a new GAL, one that will actually put the child’s best interest at heart.

Azadeh malek is a closed minded individual. She will only listen to the side that tells their story first. Then never follow up with the other side. She displays this behavior in court. Luckily for me when I had to go to JDR on some trumped up child assault charges. The presiding Judge saw through all of this and admonished her and my hateful ex girlfriend. Because the bruising that was brought up in court occurred when the child was with his mother. The wise Judge then transferred custody to me. Much to azadehs protests. Judge then went on to explain that he knew the petitioner very well and that she would have been running to the court to file against me if that had been the case. Do not hire this hateful person. She is supposed to be a guardian ad litem. But she only focuses on what she can do to further her career. In the absence of justice.

Malek is prime example of Modern day failed judicial system. From the very beginning Malek showed a clear Bias towards me simply because I was a male. Malek was assigned as GAL by the courts for my 17yr old daughters case and she did NOT in anyway represent my daughters best interest. Malek not only dressed unprofessional she spoke unprofessional and gave attitude for no reason. Malek is notorious for not listening to details and twisting words and then attempting to put words in peoples mouths. Malek claims to have conducted a full investigation for my daughters situation however she never bothered to interview the father or my daughters little brother. Zero presence of due diligence or professionalism. If Malek is assigned as your kids GAL I strongly suggest you fire her immediately and find someone who will conduct themselves in a professional manner, perform a complete investigation and actually listen to all party’s and someone who will show actual interest in the child.

Malek convinced the Warrenton Judge to separate my granddaughters.My son is very involved in their education as well as sports.He pays for everything that deals with their sport.My granddaughters permanent residence was my home. Its the only thing that these girls have that is consistent in their lives.Mom has moved 6 to 7 times (lost count) and is getting ready to move again.She lives in WV.My granddaughters have been in Fauquier public school since Kindergarten and is now at FHS.Mom was video taped with a physical altercation at FHS with my oldest Granddaughter becuse she did not want her to play field hockey.This GAL first called mom a crazy bwitch and then became besties with her and would mainly talk to mom.My Granddaughter wanted to fire her because she didnt feel this GAL was representing her.This GAL lies and acts like she has your best interest but she is only in it for her own control.By the way, my Granddaughters mom works for Loudon sheriff department.

Corrupt, Incompetent, and Dangerously Biased – A Disgrace to the Legal System Azadeh Malek is shamelessly biased, dangerously unprofessional, and utterly incompetent. She ignored critical evidence, dismissed valid concerns, and refused to conduct a fair investigation. Instead of acting in the child’s best interest, she pushed a one-sided agenda, colluded with a corrupt attorney, and fabricated baseless testimony. She was unresponsive, ignored multiple attempts at communication, and refused to return calls or review key evidence. Her actions were not just negligent but malicious, twisting facts and protecting her own bias over the child’s well-being. She had a personal vendetta rather than a commitment to truth or justice. This is gross misconduct. If assigned to your case, fight to have her removed. She does not seek justice—she seeks control, corruption, and collusion. She is a disgrace to the legal profession and a direct threat to fair custody proceedings.

Ms. Malek was assigned to my child's case by the court for child custody. It's been over a year and she has never done a home visitation. I missed one court due to work and she gave full custody to my child's dad. Without my presence she recommended that I only have her every other weekend. Hence, she knew that he was abusive towards me in the relationship. When I had concerns or questions, she would state she was not able to assist me because she represented the child. But when the father reached out to her she would advise him. She would not answer my texts for days, weeks and even months. Her behavior is pretty weird, something needs to be done. She can not continue doing this to children, they are the ones suffering. I wonder if she hates kids?

I missed one court due to work and she gave full custody to my child's dad. Without my presence she recommended that I only have her every other weekend. She recommended that she lived with him without visiting me at my home. I appealed the case, we went back to trial and she asked for a continuance because she had not investigated the case thoroughly. Hence, she knew that he was abusive towards me in the relationship. When I had concerns or questions, she would state she was not able to assist me because she represented the child. But when the father reached out to her she would advise him.

I wonder if she hates kids? DO not hire her!

Her charges were ridiculous. A waste of a thousands of dollars, ended up agreeing to everything other party requested.
