My terrible situation handled the best possible way!!!

How many of us have been caught up in a celebration and ended making a poor choice of driving? It is my first offense which I am mortified, embarrassed etc. because that is not who I am. I am a hard worker that enjoys her family and friends. Well I got pulled over for a headlight after attending my n...ieces Quinceañera. Yes I was drinking and the officer smelled it on me. My car got impounded and I was arrested. I blew a .09. I was released on an ROR. I wasn’t sure who to contact because I had to appear in court 3 days late. My friend recommended Steven. Which really was a God sent. I called him and he answered. We scheduled to meet the following day, a day prior to court. At the meeting he made me feel like my case was important to him, made calls in regards to my case and to ask for a personal favor for my case. He got me in that evening for an evaluation that was suggested. Told me that he can get my case dropped from criminal to a violation the following day. Mind you I was going to prove a hardship for a conditional license. Well not only did I get my full license back everything he said was going to happen he made it happen. He told us to come at 10 am but he was busy working before we got there. He had spoken to the prosecuting attorneys and arranged everything. We were the first ones to see the judge. Do you see what I mean very sincere about aproxomit fees, time and that I was an important client. I didn’t feel at any time that I was being judged by him from my poor choice. So yes I find Steven Gaitman amazing! Thank you

WENT UPSTATE

Hired Mr Tell U A Tall Tail promised me he could beat the case make a long story short went to prison on a three year bid this man should be a actor cause he appears to be a lawyer but he's only acting does not have real skills to compete with the district attorney

Thank you Mr. Gaitman

This was not my first offense. I had gone upstate once because I did not hire a good lawyer. This time I made a right choice and Mr. Gaitman delivered on exactly what he said he would do. He understands how the system works, and used his knowledge to hook me up. He told me how the process would w...ork once i got out of county, and he followed through on everything he said. He took care of me and my family. Good Good.

Not Happy

Not a good attorney I wound up going upstate for 1-3 years Steven has made a habit of making false promises don't get this attorney

Posted by Cathy | March 21, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

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!!

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.
