Mr J Leone

A non defense atty friend on mine recommended Steve -all I can say is having Steve in our corner was akin to winning the lottery-he got my son out of some very serious binds--I really can't put into words what he's done for my son and our family-He's the go to guy- able to do what other's can't .

Steven J Gaitman excellent lawyer highly recommended

MR. lawyer Steven Gaitman I want to express my greatest gratitude, for all this time that you helped my brother and for the excellent work as a lawyer, God put you in our path we are grateful to God because he accompanied us throughout this process I remember the first day we looked f...or you to help us, they had recommended your person as a lawyer We didn't know you, we went looking for you there in the courthouse without knowing who you were because we didn't know you, but God told me that when I saw you walk towards the elevator I stopped, looked back and saw you. . . . . . And at that moment God told me say his name out loud and he will listen and answer that it is him. And do you remember when you heard your name you said it's me they're looking for me? I tell you this because I am grateful to you and because God chose you to help us and help many people. God bless your life

Mr Gaitman is the best lawyer in NY hands down!!!!

I should of written this review a while ago. I was in a situation where I was completely innocent but everything was against me. I was literally up the river at the time Nassau county had a 99% conviction rate my attorney at the time was advising me to cop out to 3 years although I didn’t do it. I fi...red him and hired Steven Gaitman and it was probably one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life. He worked diligently on my case advised me and my family as I was a minor at the time. He cleared my name and saved valuable time in my life. Honestly my daughter was born the next year and that wouldn’t of happened had I been in prison. I don’t write reviews for anybody or anything good or bad but I owe Mr Gaitman at least. He’s represented me and countless friends to everybody satisfaction. If you read this review just know I’m proof. I was facing 6-12 years and picked out of lineup. Hire Mr Gaitman and good luck with your case.

  • 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.
