Great attorney

Mr. Gaitman is a great attorney I highly recommend him. He has help me in a very difficult time and he understood my situation. Not every attorney is willing to do that most other lawyers will just take your money and not care about your case. When ever I needed to consult any legal issues Mr. Gaitma...n has always been there. Never had a problem keeping contact with him even if it has been late at night or weekends even holidays. If you need a good attorney he is the man to hire!

Gaitman is your guy!

Our family retained Mr. Gaitman on more than one occasion. He has always made himself available no matter the time of the day. Open communication is key. He is knowledgable, dependable and very reassuring during moments of uncertainty. He helped our family member though a difficult time and put us ...in touch with additional resources to help us get back on track. Our family member is in a better place thanks to Mr. Gaitman's personal attention, knowledge of the law and negotiating skills. We would highly recommend Mr. Gaitman.

Definitely Highly Recommend

Reading all these past reviews sounds like my story. Steven Gaitman has been involved with our family for 12 years. Through the years he has helped our family get through some very hard times. No matter what time we have called him 1:30am, 3:30,am, 5:30am or day hours he has never failed to call us b...ack within minutes. I have and will continue to recommend Steven to anyone I see that needs help. He is a stand up man that has always done what he said he was going to do for me. He is an highly intelligent Lawyer who knows his way around the courts. He has saved me multiple times from jail time.

Attentive!!

After interviewing several lawyers I chose Steven Gaitman for several reasons. He is extremely informative, knowledgeable and most importantly attentive and responsive. He followed up with me weekly until my cases were solved. I have referred Steven to a bunch of family and friends because of my expe...rience with him and his firm. He helped me and my family out over a dozen times in the last 8 years. He is up to date on current NYS laws and the court system. He made thinks very simple for us. I would never use another lawyer.
