I am an experienced, aggressive litigator who employs a principled and passionate approach to defending my client's rights in matters ranging from the most serious felonies to routine traffic matters. 

Prior to opening the Law Offices of Kevin P. Malia, P.C., I served as the Director of the Conviction Integrity Unit and the Chief of Rehabilitative Services with the Lake County, Illinois State's Attorney's Office. Immediately prior to my work with the State's Attorney's Office, I practiced for over fifteen years as a founding partner of Malia & Rinehart, P.C., representing clients throughout Northern Illinois and Southeastern Wisconsin. I started my career in 2004 as an Assistant Public Defender with the Lake County Public Defender's Office.

I am licensed to practice in Illinois and Wisconsin, as well as the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.
