Abstract: The behavior of Fermi systems which approach the fermion condensation quantum phase transition (FCQPT) from the disordered phase is considered. We show that the quasiparticle effective mass $M^*$ diverges as $M^*\propto 1/|x-x_{FC}|$ where $x$ is the system density and $x_{FC}$ is the critical point at which FCQPT occurs. Such a behavior is of general form and takes place in both three dimensional (3D) systems and two dimensional (2D) ones. Since the effective mass $M^*$ is finite, the system exhibits the Landau Fermi liquid behavior. At $|x-x_{FC}|/x_{FC}\ll 1$, the behavior can be viewed as a highly correlated one, because the effective mass is large and strongly depends on the density. In case of electronic systems the Wiedemann-Franz law is held and Kadowaki-Woods ratio is preserved. Beyond the region $|x-x_{FC}|/x_{FC}\ll 1$, the effective mass is approximately constant and the system becomes conventional Landau Fermi liquid.
