Exceptional Legal Expertise and Fair Billing

I recently worked with Jenice to negotiate a business buyout, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From the start, Jenice was incredibly helpful and deeply invested in achieving the best possible outcome for me. Her expertise and dedication were evident in every step of the process. ... She was always prompt in her communications, ensuring that I was kept informed and that everything moved along efficiently. Additionally, her billing was extremely fair and honest, which I greatly appreciated. Overall, I highly recommend Jenice to anyone in need of legal services. Her professionalism, commitment, and fairness make her an exceptional choice.

Excellent Attorney - Highly Experienced in the Securities Industry

Jenice Malecki is an excellent attorney and extremely reliable. My family had a shocking, horrible, and extremely stressful experience that their money, all their savings were stolen all of a sudden. We had no idea what type of lawyer we needed, we had no experience in issues like this and we didn't ...know any lawyer. It was extremely shocking and complex involving at least 2 huge financial institutions globally known and brokers. After doing tons of research, I found Malecki Law to be one of the best in the Financial Industry. We decided to have a consultation with her to get to know more about her experience in issues like this. We are so thankful we decided to hire her. Jenice Malecki and her team (including Darryl J. Bouganim) are extremely hard-working and highly experienced. They helped us day and night trying to solve our problem. It was an extremely hard case. It would not have been solved if it weren't thanks to the fact that we had Jenice Malecki as our attorney. I realized how important it is to have a really good attorney (and I repeat, it HAS to be that good when the stakes are so high and the case is so complex and hard) on your side with experience in this particular field. I feel it's important that whoever is reading this and if a similar situation happened to you, that you know that Jenice Malecki is truly one of the best in the securities industry! My family is extremely thankful that we found her. I'd definitely recommend her and her office with no doubt at all! It's very easy to communicate with her and she keeps you updated throughout the case. She really cares about her clients. She is excellent at trial too when the stakes are so high and you have to prove your case. She is also very honest and transparent with everything, including expenses and fees. You won't get any surprises or hidden fees. Extremely professional, ethical, experienced, and knowledgeable in what she does! We ended up working with her for over 3 years!

Regained my faith in Lawyer's

Without going into an hour description of my situation, I am my Dad's POA and have been looking after his investment account since 2003. My Dad has had this account for many years before that. A few years ago I ran into some problems with the firm we will call firm X. I had proof their claims may be... incorrect but they would not listen and did not care what I had to say. I hired a N.Y. securities lawyer and gave him a retainer, after many months it was determined he was to busy so I said I would look for another lawyer, he charged me $5,000.00. I called several dozen law firms and when I told them who I was trying to take on they all declined to even talk to me. I called Mrs. Malecki and explained my situation, She explained my up hill battle but did not say no. She explained even if I am correct they still can tell me to get lost. I understood but felt my Dad has rights and I want to try even if I loose. Mrs. Malecki and Robert Van De Veire checked out the facts I gave them and agreed to try even though I still may not be successful. I gave a retainer and after the first step firm X used a clause to tell me to get lost, They were 100% correct what they predicted. There was another process we could go through and they agreed to help me, I told them I am sure I will owe more and the response was no there is still some money left. We went through the next proccess and firm X still would not give in. Short of going to court, which would not help this was all we could do legally. I thank Mrs. Malecki and Mr Van De Veire for all of their help ( and it was a lot ) and told them to send me the final bill. There was no bill, there was portion of the retainer that was a refund. I do not know how. I explained there is no way you charged me what you should have and any other lawyer would have charged me more. The response was we charged you a fair rate, not compared to most New York securities lawyer's. Not only were Mrs. Malecki and Mr. Van De Veire so easy to work with they are beyond generous and kind.

Excellent job preparing for Mediation

Jenice Malecki, Bob Van De Veire and Adam Nicolazzo did an excellent job on the meditation they handled for me and a group of investors. They were thorough, well-prepared, and knew exactly how to pitch our case. Hope not to need lawyers for FINRA claims again, but would not hesitate to use Malecki ...Law again.
