A Consummate Professional

I consulted with Mr. Gaitman to assist me with a past criminal matter. I have never encountered a criminal attorney whose legal acumen matches his personal disposition. He was both extremely knowledgeable & personable at the same time. He made me feel at ease immediately. He passed no judgment an...d was only concerned with providing me with concise information and a suggested course of action to resolve my issue. My case is complicated and has a number of parts to it, and without any reservations whatsoever, he pledged assistance from every attorney in his firm to work on my case. It is extremely rare to find an attorney this compassionate about helping his clients, and I was overwhelmed by his support and as soon as I'm financially able to - I will be retaining him, I recommend Mr. Gaitman wholeheartedly and enthusiastically. He is easily in the Top 5 criminal attorneys in Nassau County.

Great lawyer

I had serious charges and as soon as I met with him he took charge. He made me feel comfortable and less stressed. He was always available when I needed to ask questions. He took my case personally. He does his best. He's very knowledgeable and up to date with the law. Must hire !

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!!

I retained Steven Gaitman for my son who was accused of serious charges. I felt confident from the first consultation as Steven had already contacted the courts/parole in finding out the facts of charges prior to our appointment. Steven is assertive, takes charge and gets things done ....willing to a...nswer all my questions/concerns and it was always easy to reach him. Highly recommend Steve Gaitman as my son could have spent many years incarcerated...case was dismissed!!

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.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
