Awesome Attorney

He was the most understanding and worked so well with me. He knew that the crime that I committed had to do with the fact that I was at that time in the throes of my addiction. He worked so well with the district attorneys office to get me the best deal ever. I was facing years in prison and at the e...nd I got four months in the county jail with five years probation. It felt really good to have an attorney by my side that totally understood that I needed to get help and he guided me in that direction. I recommend him 100% because he got me through and he also got my family through one of the worst situations that I put myself into because of my addiction. He is compassionate, patient and very knowledgeable and works well with the district attorneys office. I am so grateful that my mother hired him and I recommend him to anybody who’s looking for an excellent and supportive criminal attorney.

Excellent lawyer

I highly recommend attorney Steven Gaitman, he is an excellent lawyer. He kept us informed of the developments of the case from start to finish and made us feel like family. He is very professional and has a wonderful personality, too. Thank you, Steven!

Fantastic lawyer

Mr. Gaitman is an excellent lawyer he always keeps you updated about your case. Your always in and out of court. He finished one of my cases in queens in just one day. And he is still doing one for me in Nassau. I would definitely recommend him to other people.

Avvo Rating

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.
