Personal experience of My Two-Month Relationship with Jeelani Law Firm and Tamunotonte Fenny Initial Consultation and Engagement: Two months ago, I initiated contact with Jeelani Law Firm for assistance with filing a Writ of Mandamus. My initial consultation with the firm seemed promising; they we...re responsive, professional, and assured me that they had the expertise needed to handle my case effectively. Based on this consultation, I decided to move forward with their services. Payment and Communication Issues: Shortly after our consultation, I received an invoice from Jeelani Law Firm for $4,000 to cover the cost of handling my case. I promptly submitted the payment, expecting the firm to begin work on my case immediately. However, after the payment was made, the only communication I received from the firm were a couple of generic, copy-paste emails that lacked any specific details about my case or the steps they were taking to address it. This lack of substantive communication raised concerns for me, so I reached out to the firm to ask if someone would be properly handling my case. Unfortunately, I received no response. Attempt to Resolve Issues: Frustrated by the lack of communication, I requested a refund of the $4,000 I had paid, as it was clear to me that the firm was not providing the services I had been promised. Once again, my request was met with silence. In a further attempt to resolve the issue, I contacted the office and spoke with an employee named Tamunotonte Fenny. The call lasted about 20 seconds before she abruptly dropped the call, stating, "I can't talk with you." This interaction left me even more concerned about the firm's professionalism and commitment to their clients. Review of Employee Feedback and Conclusion: In an effort to understand what might be going on at Jeelani Law Firm, I reviewed employee feedback on Glassdoor. What I found was alarming. Former employees described a chaotic work environment, with poor management and a lack of structure. The reviews painted a picture of a firm struggling internally, which likely contributed to the poor service I experienced. Next Steps: Given the lack of response and the unsatisfactory service, I have decided to take legal action. I am filing a complaint with the Bar Association to address the ethical concerns and initiating a claim in Small Claims Court to recover the $4,000 I paid. This experience has been deeply disappointing, and I hope that by taking these actions, I can at least recover my financial loss and prevent others from experiencing similar issues with this firm.

This is a copy and paste of a response from Jeelani Law Firm to this person's untrue review: “You, OLEKSII BOIKO, are a racist and fraudulent individual. You wanted us to change the attorney assigned to you from our firm because you did not feel a black attorney was “competent” to handle your case. We never have and never will cater to racists such as you. We assign our attorneys to clients based on their capabilities—not their skin color or ethnic origin. Our attorneys and legal team members come from amazing and diverse cultures and races—we are proud of this and will not allow people like you to subject our team members to your racist and discriminatory behavior. To make your despicable behavior even worse, after not cooperating with our legal staff’s document requests made of you the same day, you filed a dispute with your bank under the guise of us not reaching out when, in fact, we have multiple emails and calls from multiple staff members from our firm to you. We hope that this review is not taken down so the public and any immigration or other agency that may be investigating your moral character, such as ICE, USCIS, DHS, or DHS/HSI, can see who you truly are. You are certainly not a reflection of the amazing immigrant clients we have served over the last 14 years nationally. It is such a shame that our former client referred you to our firm—we will not name him to save him the embarrassment of being associated with you and your behavior. He, unlike you, was respectful and grateful after we successfully handled his case, like the thousands that have come before him. You can write all the reviews you want, but you will not be able to bully us—we have thousands of clients who know about the great work we do and will continue to do for our clients.”
