David is a winner

I hired David to handle some of my landlord-tenant matters at a shopping center I manage, he is always a phone call away and on top of everything. He makes me feel protected as his client, and although it does sound cliche, he is really an attorney that cares about his client and about doing the righ...t thing. You really can't say that about many attorneys these days. He also is very intelligent and knows how to win, but in a legal and responsible way. Wish I met him sooner.

Poor performance

I hired Mr. Witkon based on these Avvo reviews, and quickly realized he was not what the reviews stated he was, but a inarticulate, poorly informed person, who did not have command of the law. He gave misinformation to myself, and I had to take him to arbitration to retrieve my money. I won! Stay ...away from him!

Definitely missed the mark here. My instincts said not to take this file and man alive - i will rely on those instincts in the future. Obviously cannot post specifics but ... all the signs were there and family vs family evictions can be a huge 'red light' ... Nonetheless - this was my only fee dispute - and ... we ended up splitting it 50/50. Nobody 'won' Regards to all.

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.
