Yankwitt LLP

Many years ago, at the recommendation of a national restaurant chain, we turned to Yankwitt LLP for a hotly contested litigation matter. After Russell successfully handled that, we turned to Yankwitt LLP for all our litigation needs in New York and New Jersey. As the general counsel of a successful restaurant company with locations across the country, it is critical to hire outside legal counsel who are aggressive and trustworthy. I do not have time to micromanage cases. Their motions are crisp, persuasive, and on point, and Russell is a skilled negotiator – one of the best. When a matter occurs in New York metro area, I know I will receive the best legal advice at a fair and reasonable rate.

Yankwitt LLP saved my family business started by my grandfather. We faced a difficult and potentially damaging class action that threatened our livelihood. Faced with potentially insurmountable losses, we changed from our long-standing White Plains firm to Yankwitt LLP. Russell and Michael mounted a no-holds-bar defense by challenging the plaintiffs with aggressive questioning during the depositions and aggressive arguing before the court. Their excellent lawyering resulted in a class action settlement that enabled our business to not only survive but grow. After this experience, we made Yankwitt LLP our go-to law firm for our different companies. Their work is unmatched, and their rates are incredibly fair. In all the years they have represented us, we have never questioned one invoice, which is a first for us! Our decision to switch firms to Yankwitt LLP was one of the best business decisions we ever made.

I have known Russell since he started the firm at his kitchen table and have had the pleasure of watching him grow it into the go-to litigation firm in Westchester. As a legal recruiter, I have worked with scores of attorneys and law firms over the years, and when I needed a personal matter handled efficiently, promptly, and aggressively, I turned to Russell and Yankwitt LLP. I was extremely pleased with the outcome Russell and Scott achieved for me. In less than a month, we settled the matter for a favorable amount, with minimal attorneys’ fees.

Over the past decade, Yankwitt LLP has become our go-to litigation firm for all of our defense work in the northeast. We went from using approximately 40 different law firms to one, drastically simplifying our docket management and reducing litigation costs. Yankwitt LLP’s attention to client service with 24/7 availability and unparalleled responsiveness helps us focus on running our business instead of focusing on our litigations. – Keith Bayko, Landry's LLC
