Great value in his services

I'm very thankful for Eric Wittenberg's guidance in my business legal matters. Eric was very professional and knowledgeable in representing me and my business. He was very responsive and to the point on all of my questions. Eric helped mediate a settlement that prevented a costly court appearance. I ...found a great value in his services.

Fantastic firm for small business owners.

Eric Wittenberg and his staff consistently handle the incorporation of entities for my business. When consulting Eric on Operating Agreements and buy-out agreements, he is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. An email or phone call is always responded to in a timely manner (24-hours or less). I wo...uld and have recommend his firm's services to fellow small business owners in my network.

Helpful from the very beginning

Eric has helped my business from day one. For the last two years he's taken care of the big things (and all the little things like creating custom documents) that enable me to do my job better, so I can help my customers without worrying about things I'm not the expert at. I would recommend him to a...nyone who cares about the success of their business.

Most favorable review for Eric Wittenberg

Realizing nobody scores perfect, I take exception to that saying in the review of Eric. I am a retired police officer and have a considerable background as an expert witness in police cases. Unlike most clients, I have extensive experience working with attorneys. Sadly, many I have worked beside l...acked the qualities I found with Eric. I came to know Eric and his team a year ago when my life had been totally destroyed by a family business relationship gone south. This was due in large part to a convicted felon who had managed to pull off an unbelievable con on my family members. Had it not been for Eric Wittenberg and his firm of talented legal professionals I am quite sure my life would have no hope of recovery. Eric, is a sincere, straight to the point attorney the likes of whom I have never known. He has no desire to sugar coat the truth and is never reluctant to say what in many cases is not welcome. He goes out of his way to be there whenever he is needed. I have never known an attorney who responds to a crisis so quickly and compassionately no matter the day or time. Eric is extremely knowledgeable, and best of all to me, he does not know it all! He readily admits when he does not know and moves quickly to find the answers to complex issues. My case is still ongoing and I cannot even imagine going forward without Eric Wittenberg. I was and continue to be blessed with the peace of mind having Eric and his incredible team of professionals on my side. He is the exception to whatever one may believe about attorneys. Thank you Eric Wittenberg!!!

Best of the Best

I have worked with more than 20 lawyers in the past 30 years--personally and professionally. My biggest regret is that I didn't find Eric 30 years ago! What a difference a great attorney makes when legal assistance is needed. Eric is an extremely talented, knowledgeable attorney who can quickly g...et up to speed on any legal issue. With his vast background, Eric has the experience and skills to resolve any issue. My business partner and I enlisted Eric in the sale of our business. Eric was simply amazing advising us and developing all legal documents to transfer our business. Eric was quick, calm, communicative in all aspects of the deal. Without him, we could not have sold our business. As a result of Eric's great work with the sale of our business, we have turned over all legal matters to Eric, i.e., wills, estate planning, trusts, et al. We trust Eric implicity and know he will act with the utmost integrity, ethics, and always put our needs/wishes/concerns/issues first. It is rare to find someone in today's world that can give you a positive outcome at the right price. I've had so many attorneys more focused on how to make a process laborious and billable. Eric is just he opposite. He's worth his weight in gold.
