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.

This review is far from its originally intended due date but better late than never…read more.. A few months prior to the pandemic shutting us down, I was going through (what seemed like) a divorce. Given how the normed culture of society tends to lean/favor the mother, I feared I wouldn't see nor have equal rights to raising my newborn daughter. Warren Hoffman started working for me, my rights, days before I retained his firm. At that moment I felt protected and represented- he was calm, cool, knowledgeable, no bells and whistles. I felt good going into their office and finalizing our agreement. Instead of Warren Hoffman, I was assigned Andrea Scampoli. Not knowing her name or reputation, I trusted the firm and agreed to her taking point on my case. What followed in the weeks to come was hard but hopeful because of Andrea. Andrea Scampoli was / is nothing short of a heroic, sharp, intelligent, as-a-matter-of-fact, don't F with her, dangerously good attorney. I'm into superheroes and she genuinely behaved like Wonder Woman. She was stoic, understanding, supportive but not wavering. I must say, she did put the other side's attorney to shame in our first meet. The poor guy seemed flustered and searching for pocket-change comebacks but couldn't find any. Whatever the cost, I knew I invested well. I knew I invested well when Andrea fought for my rights and gave me (and was giving me) all that I wanted: My daughter and the my rights to exercise my fatherhood. She made sure I was equal (if not gaining more) in any deal or agreement or compromise. You just have to work with her, be upfront, be honest, and she'll get you what you need (if your requests are reasonable and sound). That was all of February 2020! And some of March before the pandemic hit and we went through our lockdowns. Happily and warranted, it gave me and my suppose-to-be ex-wife time to heal and understand what happened between us. While the courts went quiet, my wife and I took the time to figure things out and ended up on the better side of it. Despite working things out, Andrea still advised and guided me. Every possible process she took care of without any pain or minimized it. One year since our first court appearances, my wife and I and our daughter are happily and lovingly together. Sometimes you have to get through the dirt in order to raise your garden. Thank you Warren, for picking up my call on Saturday, January 11th, 2020. Thank you for being an exceptional and skilled lawyer. Thank you for finding/hiring Andrea. To the front desk staff, thank you for praying for me and always being sweet, kind, and precise. Andrea, thank you for being my hero, truly. You are gifted, fearless, and a force to be reckoned with. You truly embody Wonder Woman. I am grateful you represented me. I had and have my daughter because of you... To those searching: Please consider Hoffman and Behar if you ever need such kind of help... Ask for Andrea (or Warren!)

I see that the Google reviews are all five stars, seems weird, and on here there are several one…read morestars. My experience was more mixed and this is an honest review. Itamar Levy does do all the onboarding and is super charming, then you will more than likely get kicked to someone else. Mike Barrows is who I got and is a good guy, definitely smart and competent, like him a lot, all business but that's cool, I don't think your divorce lawyer should be your therapist. I did feel supported and like the firm was on my side. Communication was rough though. Sometimes super fast, often had to send several emails and messages over days to get any response. Getting a paralegal to respond almost impossible. Often repeatedly asked the same question and nothing. I understand these firms have lots of clients, and its all stressful, but can't say I feel or felt like a priority. Once the agreement was finalized I got kicked to someone else to deal with a property transfer and here the nightmare is ongoing. I've repeatedly asked for clarity and get one liners. I'm still in limbo, being billed, and it feels like no one is focusing or interested in helping. So, a super decent and competent firm, but I don't feel I've been supported all the way. That said, there is much much worse out there and this is a good choice.

Well I will start by saying this, If you live in Westchester don't hire this firm because they…read morecannot work on your behalf, and if they primos you they can its a lie. Communication with this firm is horrible and there is no follow up. They charge you a ton of money and don't produce any results. Diana Szabo is just worthless she never called, the only thing she does was to send you a long email and a very expensive Invoice. I paid this firm About $8K + with no results just a waist of money and time they are really scammers and should not operate in Westchester county. I felt that Diana is very very much racist because they why my case was handled by her experience left me speechless. Levy, Is the person that will call you and perform the nice talking and fill up your head with a bunch off promises and when you notice that the service is horrible he will never call you back to see what happened or in what his firm can help you with to fixed the problem. He or his firm showed no remorse and didn't care, but a lesson learned. This firm will perform work on your behalf without letting you know what they doing, and then charge your retainer balance and send you a bigger Invoice bill and demanding payment. The Lawyer Diana will not represent you for your court hearing either she will send you a email 1-2 hours before your court hearing and let you know that she will not represent you and sent a per diem Lawyer to represent you and they don't know nothing about your case, once completed they send you a invoice for $1750 for that per diem that didn't know anything about your case. PLEASE IF YOU LIVE IN WESTCHESTER DON'T HIRE THIS FIRM, THEY DON'T HAVE A OFFICE IN WESTCHESTER AND THEY ARE A BIG SCAM WAIST OF MONEY AND TIME. They don't value their customers and I felt completely discriminated by Diana and her team. STAY AWAY from Them.

Overall I was very satisfied with how Sari represented me in my divorce case. She quickly…read moreunderstood the situation and what was needed and pushed forward intelligently and strategically. I've seen comments here that Sari was hard to reach, but my experience has been the complete opposite - there have been many times when I exchanged a flurry of emails with her late at night or on weekends to resolve an issue quickly. And her billing for all time was very reasonable and appropriate (she did not charge me for every single email as I was concerned might happen). I always reviewed bills against my notes and they were always as expected, or even a little less than I anticipated sometimes. Sari is an aggressive lawyer. She's tough, but cordial - certainly not warm and fuzzy, but that's not what I need from a lawyer. The only time we disagreed was frankly when I wanted to go easier on my ex than she recommended. But I'd rather have that than someone who is not constantly fighting for her client. I'm very happy with the outcome of my case and would definitely recommend Sari.

When I was facing several of the most difficult and overwhelming periods of my life, he didn't just handle my cases with outstanding expertise and professionalism; he treated me with genuine compassion, patience, and kindness that made all the difference. From our very first conversation, he listened profoundly, without rushing or judging, and made me feel truly understood and supported. Throughout the entire process, he was always available to answer questions, explain things clearly, and offer reassurance when anxiety felt overwhelming. He fought tirelessly for the best possible outcomes, but more importantly, he became a true friend and source of strength during a time when I needed it most. His empathy and encouragement helped carry me through the hardest moments. The results of the cases were excellent, but what I'll remember most is how he showed up as a compassionate human being first and foremost.
