    Review Magda Janicki

    Former Client

    5.0 stars

    Posted by

    Ms. Janicki was always professional and listened to my concerns and fears regarding my case. She was patient and took the time to explain all the possible outcomes, whether favorable or unfavorable. She had a strategy no matter what direction the Court may have taken. She was diligent in representation and when the other side did not follow court orders or pushed back too hard, she was right there filing and arguing. She never missed a beat. She commands the Court room and will zealously fight for you. She fought for me when I thought I couldn't fight anymore and wanted to give up. Ms. Janicki and her partner are knowledgeable, professional, and aggressive attorneys ready for anything the Court or the other side throws at you.

    As an attorney myself and having had worked with Magda personally I can attest to the fact that she is a tenacious litigator who truly fights for her clients. I recently hired her myself for a civil matter and she is currently diligently working on my case and is always in constant communication with me regarding the status of it. If you want an honest and hardworking attorney who actually listens and cares about your case and situation and fights tooth and nail for you hire Magda Janicki!
