Frederick M. Wittenstein (Retired)Founder

The firm was born on Utica Avenue in Brooklyn in 1959, providing straight-talking legal services to a struggling Community. The word spread, clients referring their friends and family and another office opened in Brooklyn. Mr. Wittenstein believed that each client deserved his time, attention and respect. He earned each client’s trust with a dedication to getting them the best possible settlements and verdict, but also by helping them out in any way he could with other legal matters that would have required billable retainers elsewhere. He went the extra mile for each and every client and the referrals pouring in. In 1984, the practice moved to Queens, incorporated as Frederick M. Wittenstein, Esq. P.C. A year later, the firm moved to the Cord Meyer Building on Queens Boulevard in Forest Hills. The clients came from Brooklyn, and new clients came from Queens, The Bronx, Manhattan, Staten Island and Nassau County. The children of the original clients from Brooklyn came to us. Mr. Wittenstein is retired, but remains as a consultant to the practice.

Jennifer Mendoza was a Poli-Sci major. That’s where she developed her initial interest in law.

She also put in some time working in restaurants, where she learned how to handle stressful situations and smooth over ruffled feathers. She put all of this together and was honored with an invitation to join Wittenstein & Wittenstein where she is a valuable part of the team.

Your Rights During The Coronavirus Pandemic

I have been saddened to hear so many stories about Asians and Asian-Americans being treated badly during this current health crisis. This is riding on the heels of nasty rhetoric from the Trump administration regarding immigrants and refugees. It’s important to know that Federal, New York State and New York City law prohibits discrimination in employment, housing and public accomodations. New York City laws are the strongest of all, prohibiting discriminatory lending practices, retaliation, discriminatory harassment and bias-based profiling by law enforcement. Who Is Protected From Discrimination? The purpose of discrimination laws is to protect people that are vulnerable to being treated poorly in [...]
