We prioritize listening to our clients’ needs and crafting tailored litigation strategies that address the specifics of each case effectively. As assertive trial lawyers, we are prepared to navigate both federal and state courts; however, we also counsel clients on when it may be more prudent or cost-effective to resolve disputes outside of court while striving diligently for optimal settlements. Leading our firm is Russell Yankwitt—a former federal law clerk with significant experience as a litigator at prestigious firms as well as an Assistant United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York. He chairs the Federal Bar Council's Westchester Committee and has consistently been recognized on the New York Metro Super Lawyers list since 2011; he’s received honors such as Best Lawyer in Commercial Litigation alongside an AV Preeminent Rating from Martindale-Hubbell. Every attorney at Yankwitt LLP brings valuable experience from serving as either federal law clerks or prosecutors themselves. We cater primarily to high-net-worth individuals along with businesses involved in various commercial disputes—whether they’re plaintiffs or defendants—and offer adept guidance through numerous corporate challenges aimed at preventing litigation where possible.. Should cases arise involving contract disagreements, shareholder conflicts, employment matters, accounting discrepancies leading into legal malpractice claims, or government inquiries—we stand ready to assist comprehensively. Furthermore, we provide general counsel services across industries throughout White Plains and beyond without imposing exorbitant costs typical of NYC-based counterparts—all while maintaining litigators possessing deep-rooted expertise honed directly within bustling urban settings.
