David is an excellent attorney!

I'd give 10 out of 5 stars if I could. Hiring David was the best decision I could've made in what was a nightmare situation in a landlord/ tenant dispute. He was responsive, insightful and helpful every step of the way. I highly recommend David to anyone who feels like they are in the dark with landl...ord/ tenant law. He will show you the light! Thanks David!

Couldn't be happier!

Working with David has been an absolute pleasure. I brought him a very difficult situation that my family and I were facing during an already difficult time around the world, and he made it right. I was being unfairly treated by my landlord and David was there to answer my questions along the way, re...turning my call whenever I reached out (which unfortunately I have learned firsthand is not typical of most attorneys) and ultimately ensuring that we prevailed in the end. If you are considering working with David and not sure if he is right for you, I will say this: David’s rates were extremely reasonable, and where we landed with the case was exceptional. What more do you need to know?

Bad Tenant

Mr. Witkon is great at what he does. My mom lives alone and rented to a tenant that took advantage of her situation and broke every agreement in his lease. The advise was so profound, she had hires him the same day. I would recommend Attorney David Witkon to anyone he is excellent.

My case is well done

My landlord was kind of driving me crazy in the beginning. I was frustrated and it's also difficult for me to follow the landlord/tenant rules. So I hired David to talk with my landlord and he handled that very well. In the end, my landlord returned my security deposit. David is a reliable lawyer. H...is charge is fair too. I totally recommend him.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
