I don't recommend him , not honest at all... , his website says he doesn't charge for emails or…read morecalls after u work with him. Which is a lie because he charge me. He didn't even helped me and I decide not working with him and I got charge I couldn't believe it. I told him please to refund everything and he kept some of my money. I m a single parent and what he did what's not fair and not nice. And he lied to me, Before u signed up with him make sure you know he will win your case or he can give you possibilities bc he promise one thing and as soonest u sign that agreement he tells you a different story. Never again. I don't recommend him at all. So watch out. If I could I would give him zero stars for taking my money when he didn't do anything and I decide I didn't want to do business with him. Crazy.

I grew up in Westchester County, NY, but no longer lived there and needed to update my parents…read moreWill. After asking several people for referrals and getting very little help, I decided to use Yelp to search a local "Will & Trust" lawyer. I read over several reviews for lawyers who were relatively close to my parents location and the only one that popped out was Anthony Nigro. With that said, I picked up the phone and called him. His receptionist was very friendly, and put my call right through to him. Anthony was very friendly and answered all of my questions concerning their Will. It was just before the Holidays and his schedule was full but after I told him my situation and that I was flying in from LA, he made time to fit us in right before Christmas. He answered all of my emails right away and confirmed our appointment the day before we met. I knew that I had made the right choice in working with him but my parents are tough, and I wasn't sure how they would feel. However, as soon as Anthony walked in the door and brought us into the conference room I could tell that they were impressed. He made the process very simple and explained the updates that would be made then asked both of my parents if it was what they wanted before he proceeded. When we left the meeting, he assured me that I could have the new documents signed and copied before I headed back to LA. Now let's not forget, this all took place just a few days before Christmas (Anthony has 2 young children)! He worked on them over the weekend and contacted me to see if we could do the signing on December 27. He also offered to come to my parents house to make it easier. At the signing my cousins who were witnesses to the new Will, also liked Anthony and asked for his business card. So, a HUGE Thank you to Anthony Nigro, Esquire! We were all very impressed with this young lawyer. Anthony went above and beyond for my family! I HIGHLY recommend him xoxo!

I had to evict a tenant who failed to pay rent for months. I spoke with several attorneys before I…read moredecided to hire David. 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.

Michael was recommended to us by our agent, and we're very happy we went with him. We were…read moreinitially trying to purchase a foreclosure, which turned into a debacle because we found a mold problem just days after signing the contract. Michael fought for us all the way and got us out of that deal. We finally closed on a different house in Sleepy Hollow, NY. He has a close attention to detail, which was important, but I think his greatest asset is his ability to "grease the wheels". I'd find out the seller had said such-and-such, and express my anger to Michael. He would take that anger and spin it, soften it, so that the seller side would hear what he wanted them to, and then respond as he wanted. He was always quick to respond on email, and always made time for me if I wanted to speak on the phone. Well worth his fee, too, which I thought was more than reasonable. Highly recommended.
