The eviction process is never fun for a landlord, especially in a state that is more friendly to tenants. But I was happy with the result, that I got the eviction warrant in about 6.5 months, even though it was during the holiday season, I was very grateful to get a trial a few days prior to Christmas, and the trial went very well. I got my rental home back about 2 months later, after waiting for the sheriff to put it on schedule, because Long Island has many homes on its list waiting. Glad that everything turned out well, and I made the right choice choosing David.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS IRASCIBLE MAN and here is why…read more On November 16, 2023 Mr. David L. Witkon, Esq was appointed Guardian Ad Litem to represent the interests of my adult handicapped son in eviction proceedings. Through no fault of my own (my ex ATTORNEY husband stopped paying the mortgage without my knowledge - resulting in foreclosure, auction and subsequent eviction proceedings from our home). Mr. Witkon first contacted me on Friday, December 15, 2023 at 4:30pm. We were scheduled for court the following Monday, December 18, 2023 at 9:30am. So to say he waiting until the last possible moment to call and obtain information is a complete understatement. He was appointed 30 days before making initial contact, and until the last minute! When Mr. Witkon called I explained to him that both Luke and I were home with a terrible flu like illness for the past three days and I was in no shape to accurately speak to him (medicine head), but because it was so late in the game due his lack of consideration and calling at the 11th hour, I acquiesced and attempted to answer his questions. Mr. Witkon was dismissive and disrespectful in that conversation, speaking speaking over me. When asked if he needed to actually meet Luke he said, "based on your description of your son, I see no need to met with him." On Sunday evening, December 17, 2023 Luke and I took a rapid Covid test at home which was positive. I went to court (wearing a mask) to notify the court of the situation. As a Physician Assistant practicing medicine for more than 30 years I am more than aware of the Covid safety guidelines. When Mr. Wiitkon, (25 minutes late), arrived he was informed of the positive results. He IMMEDIATELY started shouting at me to get out of the building. Mr. Witkon called me and asked me if I could produce a photo of a positive test strip proving Covid. I explained it was a home test, and my garbage is collected on Monday mornings, so I could not produce it, but, I stated I would happily get a doctors note as we were seeing a physician 3 days later. Mr. Witkon was incredibly rude, shouting and speaking over me to the point that I had to say several times, "If you continue to speak over me you will not be able to hear my answers - remember God gave you two ears and only one mouth, so you should listen twice as much." I can't even begin to describe the horrible, condescending manner in which he spoke to me, a 9/11 First Responder, handicapped child, a woman he had never met and knew nothing about........ Mr. Witkon actually said, "Your lucky I was able to get this case adjourned." Sir, Covid got this case adjourned, you Sir showed up 25 minutes late, proceeded to lie to the court by saying you told me to bring my son, when you clearly stated on the phone there was no reason for you to meet with him. Mr. Witkon actually had the audacity to say that he did the best he could for Luke. Again Sir, if your best is contacting your client at the 11th hour and browbeating them after they clearly tell you they are sick in bed with your overbearing, rude, over talking, condescending manner, than I am truly sorry for the rest of your "clients". I realize that Mr. Witkon was court appointed, and therefore this case was pro bono for him, but did he have to be so incredibly rude? In a text message with Mr. Witkon I informed him that I would NOT be able to work with him and I further informed him that I would accurately reflect our interactions in a thorough review. On December 20, 2023 Mr. Witkon filed paperwork with the court requesting to be removed as Guardian Ad Litem, stating that I threatened him. Well, Sir, if stating that I would write an accurate review clearly reflecting all of our communication is a threat, than I suggest you conduct yourself in a more professional manner with respect and kindness. I look forward to sharing our text conversation with the court at our next scheduled date, as I firmly believe Mr. Witkon should at the very least, receive some type of sanctions for his treatment of both me and my son, Luke.

I was lucky to meet Robert Bondar and get that excellent experience working with him…read more I had an issue with my security deposit that was not being returned to me back in a while after I moved out from my apartment on Manhattan. Robert was able to solve that problem very quickly and easily, comparing to others who couldn't solve it at all. In overall, interaction with Robert is a really big pleasure for me - he is friendly, responsible, courteous, reliable and professional person. He always provides all needed to you info, answers all your questions. I felt so confident and comfortable working with him, so I even didn't bother myself with question if I chose the right attorney or not. Prices are reasonable and low, and I know - he will never try to make money of you, no matter what case you got. I would highly recommend him for everybody who needs professional attorney services. I'd definitely go to meet him once again in case I face with any issues that needs attorney's help in order to be resolved.

Avoid This Lawyer at All Costs - Incompetent, Unethical, and Harmful…read more I had an extremely distressing experience with this attorney, and I feel a responsibility to warn others. From the start, he was unresponsive and disinterested. He missed court appearances, failed to return calls or emails, and completely ignored the documents and evidence I sent him--often dismissing everything as "not significant" without explanation. Rather than advocating for my interests, he pressured me to accept a settlement that was absurdly low and clearly not in my best interest. It became increasingly clear that he was not just passive but completely unfit to handle litigation. He is not a litigator as he claims and took the case anyway, wasting critical time. His attitude was indifferent, lazy, and at times, it felt like he was working against me rather than for me. His negligence caused real harm to my case, and his actions (and inactions) were not only unprofessional but deeply unethical. If you're looking for a lawyer who will actually fight for you, communicate with you, and take your case seriously - look elsewhere. The attorney demonstrated poor credentials, having graduated from a mediocre law school and possessing minimal practical experience, which was evident in his lack of skill, confidence, and judgment throughout the case. This experience was a nightmare, and no one should have to go through what I did.

He works in the…read moreinterest of the opposing side, not his own client, routinely ignoring critical documents, failing to respond to emails, and missing court appearances without explanation. He is not a litigator by any stretch--he avoids confrontation, appears intimidated by opposing counsel, and crumbles under basic legal pressure. He lies shamelessly, claiming to have reviewed files he clearly hasn't read, and regularly pushes his client to accept insultingly low settlements that serve no one but the other side. On top of that, he is rude, dismissive, and unprofessional, creating more problems than he solves. His behavior is not just negligent; it is unethical.

David Frazer has been an amazing lawyer and I will be forever grateful for the work that he has…read moredone for me and my case. I started working with him almost exactly two years ago. I have been living in a very special loft in Manhattan; it is a home that I have made into my own sanctuary in the city for over five years. Anyone living in New York knows how hard it is to come by such a unique place. My landlord threatened to not renew my lease for no reason. They threatened to take away my home that means so much to me, a home that I had been paying rent for, for all of this time, like a perfect tenant. Not knowing that I was being overcharged all of that time, among many other violations, were things that I would soon find out with David's help. David successfully won all arguments and proceedings with my landlord's attorneys, and he made me feel safe and secure in my home, and continues to fight for me to get rent stabilization and security going forward. He is thoughtful, honest, straightforward, focused, and knows the real estate laws--specifically loft laws--inside and out. I couldn't have asked for a better representative and person to fight for me and my well-being in my home. I am an Artist and it's a struggle to maintain a life in New York City. But it is because of David Frazer that I am still here. I am forever in his debt and thankful for his time, generosity, and commitment to fighting for me. I highly recommend his services to anyone in a similar situation.
