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 compli...cated 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.

the most terrible experience

My experience was Igor never listened carefully and pushed for plea when there was even no violation. He didn`t investigate the case at all. Everything he explained turned out to be incorrect and lead to big damages. He never had even an office visit and lied afterwards he did things which he didnt. ...

Replied last October 31, 2017

A mentally Ill client received exactly the disposition client was looking for, which included a noncriminal plea even-though client admitted to the criminal activity. Client then blackmailed the firm for a refund and harassed the firm's attorneys, leaving a false review after being rebuffed and threatened with police action.

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 detenti...on 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!!!

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 ret...urned 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.
