Posted by Melanie Haughey | February 23, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Family

Exceeded all expectations!!! Lucky to have been introduced to Mr. Gildin best atterney.

Mr. Gildin was a godsend for me. My family court issue was a difficult one the odds were stacked up against me. When fighting for your child things are emotional and difficult. Mr. Gildin was able to navigate through a difficult case with a lot of issues and concentrate on the main goal what's best f...or the child while counseling me through my difficult emotions. He cared for me and my well being he was always available to talk to me if I needed. I can't say enough positive things about this atterney I am so greatful he represents me. Not only is he an atterney that will fight for you and defend you with ever possible resource. Mr. Gildin is also an amazing human being who cares for other people is polite and respectful in all circumstances to everyone. Mr. Gildin's moral character is so sound anyone could learn a thing or two from him. If money were a top priority for Mr. Gildin I am confident he could charge an enormous amount of money from his clients he is that good I would pay any amount for his services. But he does not he works with his clients he cares about his cases his top priority is the case and his client. He is extremely flexible in regard to your personal situation. I can not say enough about Mr.Gildin or how happy I am with his services. If you find yourself in family court my opinion is hiring this atterney will be the best thing you ever did. My previous atterney before I was fortunate enough to be recommended Mr. Gildin was a total disaster so I recognize what a rare and special atterney Mr. Gildin is. Mr. Gildin has gone above and beyond for me in every aspect of my case that is how he is with his clients he cares and will fight for you and your family.

Read this carefully

After asking my friends, searching online and meeting with attorney after attorney Steven was the answer. He took the time to listen and in court I was absolutely impressed with his ability to be both compassionate and ferocious at the same time. He was and is the answer to my prayers. I only chose t...he 5 stars because there were no more stars to give! He is an amazing attorney and human being. I doubt anyone else would go the extra mile. Before getting any one else, stop by and you'll realize you'll want no one else by your side in court.

Posted by anonymous | September 02, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

One of the best lawyer's in NYC

Attorney Steven Gildin has helped my family and myself during some very challenging times. He has represented my child, my mother and myself. Even when we came to a point when we were unable to afford legal fees, he was very understanding and self-less. Mr. Gildin did not neglect us and continued to ...fight for us during a difficult child custody case with great success. He was patient and diligent in providing us with the best legal defense that we could possibly get. I would recommend attorney Steven Gildin, to anyone one who is looking for a lawyer who is honest, fierce, supportive and a lawyer who cares about you and in getting the job done. My family and I are very grateful to have him as our lawyer and plan to use his services in the future.

Incredible lawyer

Steven not only helped my family in the most difficult situation of our lives but he continues to reach out to our family. Had it not been for him I don't know how I would have survived this ordeal. He is by far the best lawyer you can ask for.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
