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.

My favorite esq.

My name is Robert and have been a loyal client of Steven's since 2000. In a nutshell ive avoided 20+ years incarceration(multiple cases) because of the skilled court room presence of Steven. For example, in my most recent case i was sentenced to a five year bid. At the last minute, Steven was able c...onvince the Judge and Lead Prosecutor to court order me to the SHOCK program (6 month military style boot camp program) where i excelled immensely and returned home in under 2 years in the best mental and physical shape of my life. The thing I appreciate most though is the attention to detail in the cases and the personal relationship we have. No matter how busy he is, he always makes time to listen to me and help me. That, to me, is just as important as the astonishing results that come from his casework. Ive recommended well over 50 clients to him who retained him and were very happy, to say the least, with their case results. If you find yourself in trouble, and dont know where to turn, call Steven Gaitman. Its a decision you won't regret. Thanks for reading.

The man you want on your case.

Mr Gaitman has represented me many times in the past and every time I was satisfied. I would have no problem recommending him as I have before to friends and family, and they were satisfied as well. Steven is a professional in all aspects in defending his clients, and very knowledgeable of the court ...system, and has plenty of experience under his belt. Mr. Gaitman is a blessing to whom ever hires him as there attorney.

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.

  • 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.
