reliable & responsive

Steven was always available or called back every time. Case went on for almost two years and he fought the good fight for me. Excellent criminal attorney, he and his firm. He treated me with respect and took personal interest in my case. I felt as if I really had an advocate and I did with Steven. If... you're in trouble, call Steven Gaitman on the double!

Assuring

Assuring! That is best word to describe Gaitman! My family has worked with him for many years and has priovided some great defense. He is very knowledgeable and influential. His confidence is very comforting. As a result of his multiple years of experience, he is very assuring! We hired him in our t...ime of need and since then he's become like family. He is quick to return calls and provides the most relevant information. He shows interest in his clients and continues to build rapport. Always willing to go above and beyond for his clients to get the best possible outcome. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of top quality assistance that produce good results.

Great Defense Lawyer

I was introduced to Steven Gaitman by a former lawyer to help me with a felony charge. He was able to reduce my charge to a violation and a fine. It took sometime going back to court on different dates. But the outcome was worth it. He helped me through a hard time in my life. I was able to resolve t...hat case and move on. Through the whole case he was respectful and professional. I highly recommend Mr. Gaitman as defense attorney.

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.
