This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Rude and disrespectful

I can’t believe anyone would hire you. You have horrible manners. You cut me off multiple times and didn’t let me finish my sentences. I don’t appreciate being hung up on. Is that how you would want to be treated? Awful.

Jeffrey Wittenberg

Replied last April 7, 2023

We take all reviews seriously, and when an anonymous person posts a poor review based upon a false claim of being a client of mine and my firm, it is necessary to set the record straight. The person who posted this poor review is not and has never been a client of mine or my firm. This anonymous person prefers to hide from public view in hopes of avoiding an honest discussion about what she said to me today, after contacting me through Avvo and requesting that I represent her in a lawsuit. After listening to this person talk for some time, it became crystal clear that this was not a client that I would represent. Therefore, I expressed my decision to decline her request for representation. Unfortunately, by declining her case, she apparently became angry and chose to retaliate with this unfriendly, untrue post. Again, she has never been and will never be a client of mine. I declined her case for several valid reasons, which I am not permitted to discuss at this time. Nevertheless, I wish her well with her legal problems.

Thank you Wittenberg Law for job well done!

I hired Jeffrey for one of our real estate transactions. Jeffrey was creative, professional, and trustworthy. I've paid a lot more for other attorneys and got a lot less in return. I highly recommend Jeffrey. I will be using him on all of my future deals.

Business Breach of Contract (friends)

The one thing I most admire about Jeffrey, is that he was always available to speak to me regardless of time of day. One time I called him on a Saturday night at 10:00 pm regarding my case, he was actually out-of-town and still spent time on the phone with me reassuring me that everything was going ...to work out. At that moment I knew I had made the right choice in hiring Jeffrey for his services. As far as trustworthy, you won't find anyone better! By the way, I won the case....Great work Jeffrey! Thank you, Eric

Wittenberg Law is highly recommended

As someone who used to work with Jeff in the Securitization industry, I can attest to his thorough, detail-oriented approach to practicing law. His extensive and varied experience throughout his career in finance and law makes him an excellent choice as a litigator. His resume is not only impressiv...e in its breadth but on a practical level allows him to pursue your case from multiple angles; you can count on him to efficiently and thoughtfully represent you, and to display the same determination that made me appreciate his work ethic. He is undoubtedly the best attorney that I collaborated with in Structured Finance and given the opportunity I would be glad to work with him again in the future. Jeff's ability to explain complex legal concepts benefited me greatly in my career, so I know he is patient and conscientious. Not every attorney takes the initiative to be the founder of a new law firm - let him apply that same approach to your case!
