Excellent Service
Mr. Litvak is a great attorney who fought for us and was able to get a felony charge reduced to a misdemeanor. Even the judge was very complimentary of his services and said that the deal Mr. Litvak was able to negotiate was by far the very best he has seen. Mr. Litvak is extremely knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything. He cares about his clients and genuinely works toward achieving the best possible outcome.

Larry K. Satisfied Client
A very happy criminal law client, had a domestic violence case which resulted in a full Order of Protection being issues against me. Attorney Igor Litvak was able to modify the order into a limited one and then resolve the case with a complete dismissal, I couldn't be more happy with Mr. Litvak's representation, he is easy reachable, responsive, knows the law and just a true pleasure to work with, I full-heatedly recommend him as your criminal attorney, you will not regret it.

Best legal assistance I ever had
Hi everyone. I met Igor last year while searching the web. I had a rare case of parole violation warrant that was administratively imposed (not by a judge). Igor did a great job! My 5 year parole was removed and the warrant got vacated. I didn't even have to appear in court.

Excellent Service
Mr. Litvak is an exceptional attorney who is very knowledgeable about the law and very attentive to his clients. I was one of the 911 first responders and Mr. Litvak represented in a matter related to 911 Victim Compensation Fund. Mr. Litvak guided me through the entire process, which is very complicated and time consuming. At the same time he was very professional and showed a great deal of care towards me and my case. As a result of his representation I was able to recover the maximum compensation for my 911 injuries. I highly recommend him for any of your legal matters, he is an amazing lawyer and truly a good person.

Excellent Service and Pulled Through In The Clutch!!!
Mr. Litvak is an absolute legal extraordinaire in every sense of the term. I was falsely arrested for a clerical error on the part of the dealership from which I purchased a car. Due to New Jersey’s absolutely archaic and downright joke of a legal system, I was forced to go through a pretrial detention of a few days. I was very upset, stressed and worried about the outcome and the potential of not being able to get home to my wife and children. I knew I needed help and needed it fast. I hired Mr. Litvak on the strength of a recommendation from a close friend and business associate and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. He came on a HOLIDAY WEEKEND (wow!!!) to visit me in the detention facility and assured me that he would jump through hoops and flames to get my situation resolved with as few residual issues as possible. When I went before the judge, I was out of a bind the same day and my life FINALLY started to return to a sense of normalcy. No amount of words can express the feelings of relief and vindication I felt at that point. Nor can any amount of words express the overwhelming sense of gratitude I felt towards Mr. Litvak for all of his hard work in assisting me. Heaven only knows what would have become of the situation without his expertise. To anyone in a tight legal situation: YOU NEED THIS MAN ON YOUR SIDE!!!

The best attorney
A great attorney who fought for me tirelessly and eventually got a drug possession case dismissed in Kings County. My public defender wasn’t doing anything, it wasn’t until Attorney Litvak came into the picture that my cases started moving towards resolution. He met with prosecutors, gathered evidence, spoke to witnesses and filed all the appropriate motions. His hard work eventually led to the case being dismissed by a judge after several in court hearings. I can’t think of hiring anyone else if I ever need criminal defense attorney again, his experience and work ethic are second to none.

Honest lawyer.
After several experiences with the lawyers for different matters, I 've come to conclusion that there is no such thing as an honest lawyer who thinks about the clients' interest first and his money second. Igor Litvak is an exception. Thank you.

Excellent Lawyer
I was charged with aggravated DWI while visiting Brooklyn out of state. Attorney Litvak was recommended to me by a friend and I was very satisfied with his representation. He carefully reviewed all the evidence in the case, he was actually able to find a witness that even police didn’t know about, leading to the case being resolved with an infraction, which is non-criminal, and a small fine. He cares about his clients and will do everything possible to get you the best outcome, if you need a New York criminal defense attorney definitely hire him, he is highly recommended.

Amazing Criminal Defense Lawyer!! A+++++
Great criminal defense attorney who gets the job done, used him for two big cases, major white-color federal case in NJ and a smaller state case out of Richmond County. He is quick to respond and easily reachable, took time to address all my concerns and explain everything what was going on. He is also very knowledgeable about criminal law and it was obvious that he has tremendous experience in this field. I was very satisfied with outcomes of both cases and would for sure hire him again. If you need a criminal defense attorney he is your guy.

Hire Him
If you facing criminal problems hire attorney Litvak, I recently had a big burglary case in Queens with many Defendants. After hiring Litvak and going to proffers with him my case was reduced and after that case was finished with trespassing violation and 2 days community service, I got the best deal out of all the defendants. Definitely hire Litvak, he doesn’t give up until he gets the best outcome possible. I highly recommend Litvak.

A Very Happy Client
Top notch attorney, had a felony domestic violence assault case in Kings County, my previous attorney wasn’t doing anything and was pushing for me to take a plea, Mr. Litvak investigated the case resulting in total dismissal of my case. If you need a domestic violence attorney hire him, he always returned my calls, explained everything what was going on and actually did the leg work of going to places and speaking with witnesses. I fully recommend Igor Litvak for your case, he will fight for you as if you are the attorney.

Best Lawyer!
A superb criminal attorney, he actually investigates cases and doesn’t just appear in court to convince you to take the first offer. I was facing time in jail on a drug possession charge and was ready to take a plea, Igor Litvak was able to get my case dismissed and sealed, he literally saved my life, I cannot explain how thankful I am to him.

GREAT lawyer
Words cannot describe how much Igor Litvak helped me out. I became overwhelmed with debt and after exhausting all other options, I decided to file for Bankruptcy. I was referred to Mr. Litvak by Credit Karma. He was very professional from the moment I first spoke to him on the phone, to the very end of the case. He was very easy to contact and he gave me frequent updates as the case went on. Thanks to Igor Litvak, all my debt has been discharged and I now have a fresh start. I would recommend him to anybody.

Igor Litvak did a great job helping me defend a civil investigation. He listened to me very carefully and was always there for me when I called him – he always answered the phone. He understood my situation very well and he truly wanted to help me. I felt very comfortable working with Igor Litvak throughout the process. My case has now been closed and I am very happy with the result. I would recommend Igor Litvak to my family and friends.
