Professional, Clear and Concise

Ophir was great to work with. Legal cases can be complex and confusing and he laid out all my options very clearly. I'll definitely be working with him again.

Strong attorney

Ophir Bitton is one terrific attorney. He represented me in a very complicated eviction case. He immediately explained to me the best approaches in dealing with a difficult owner. Mr Ophir got me a result that was very satisfying. If you want a solid, hard working, intelligent attorney, Ophir ...Bittton is your man.

I Am So Happy!

I am so happy with Ophir Bitton on my side! I was owed a large sum of money from someone that had just ignored me when the job was done. I had only a verbal agreement with this person, but Ophir guided me and helped me gather all the evidence and proof of the job that I was hired for and then sent a ...VERY strong letter to that person from his office. The deadbeat immediately admitted to owing the full amount and asked for a one week extension to the date that Ophir had given him to pay. I just got word that he brought the full payment in the form of a cashier's check to Ophir's office. I got paid in full and I didn't even have to deal with the person to get my money. Ophir has done a terrific job for me and I couldn't be happier! I gladly refer all of my friends to Ophir Bitton that are in need of his services. I highly recommend Bitton Law!

Great Lawyer, When I needed it Most

I was laid off from my job after over 10 years. I called a few lawyers I found on the internet and they all told me the same thing, I did not have a case. A friend referred me to Bitton & Associates, I called and they agreed, there was nothing I could do about being let go. I spoke with Ophir Bitt...on and he asked me a bunch of questions. He discovered that I was not being paid by the law. We filed a case for my overtime and lunches. I used to get paid a flat amount every two weeks. No one told me that I should get overtime and breaks before. A few months after we filed the case settled. I was still looking for work so the timing was great.

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.
