CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
"Best of the Best: I hired Daniel a year and a half ago to help with an investment gone wrong. I felt him to be an attorney who is committed to justice and takes pride in all his endeavors." M.F.

 

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
"Daniel Bakondi is an attorney who is devoted to his clients. He is knowledgeable, expedient, and meticulous about details. He is honest and provides his clients with a realistic evaluation of their expectations. He doesn't waste your time. Daniel Bakondi is the attorney who will be in your corner all the way." N.T.

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL

"Mr. Bakondi is a poised and brilliant young man who asked extensive questions to get at the crux of the situation. I was continuously amazed at the fine/pertinent points that Mr. Bakondi dug out of the years of files I had provided him. He quickly filed legal action I would call impressive in its fact-finding, background research, and arguments. In subsequent attorney communications and motions, I saw this astounding incisiveness over and over again. More than once I remarked to him how glad I was that he was not the other side's attorney! In forecasting the time, phases, and expenses of the case, Mr. Bakondi was also unerring. While the entire process took over a year, I never once had the feeling that he was not in complete control of the situation. In consultations, he always had all of the options and their consequences ready at hand, along with his recommendations. Not once did he make an inaccurate forecast or give bad advice. When the case concluded successfully, he tied up all the loose ends as meticulously as everything else he had done."

experience and your loyalty, amazing work Counselor"

  • A broker or financial advisor's failure to do due diligence before approving an investment for sale
  • Failure to diversify or "overconcentration" of investments into one asset class
  • Breach of fiduciary duty and breach of the duty of loyalty to the client
  • Misrepresentation and omission or undisclosed material facts and risks of a securities transaction

Mr. Bakondi has helped investors recover millions of dollars for investments that are either reducing distributions, not paying distributions at all, or facing cash calls or other consequences.  It is often not the fault of management, but the broker and broker-dealer who failed to assess the risks, and sold an overpriced problematic investment without proper due diligence.  Most major brokerage houses never offered such investments to their clients.  Many broker-dealers who did approve such investments for sale to their customers did so through negligence or securities fraud.
