Great experience with a fantastic lawyer

Our family and I felt that Steven Gaitman treated us like real human beings and carried himself so professionally and yet very compassionate to my sons case. We highly recommend Steven for his great ability to give us the best outcome in a serious situation. He was always available, on time and alway...s answered calls or texts when we needed questions answered. We wish him and his family the best in their lives because he gave us good hope and happiness in ours.

Great criminal defense lawyer

Mr. Gaitman shows how knowledgeable he is about criminal defense. He waited for the right time to file a motion to dismiss and resolved my case.

Excellent at his work

Gaitman was excellent!! He was very informative and knowledgeable about the ins and outs of my case. He kept me up to date about every step on my case. He also thinks outside the box and that’s what I needed!! Additionally he was able to get me a deal that seemed impossible!! Gaitman is the truth!! I... would refer anyone to him!! He also allowed me to make payments which was helpful. Best defense attorney out there!!

Integrity Beyond Reproach

I have hired Steven Gaitman several times over the last 15 years to represent me for DUI & other felony charges. Mr. Gaitman is a great investigator & negotiator & is knowledgeable in all areas of his field. He has many years of experience & in the courtroom his demeanor is impeccable. I found him ...to be committed to me, his client, with the confidence & perseverance needed to win at trial. Mr Gaitman was always available to me throughout the whole process & communicated to me all the particulars of the progress in my case. I felt that his fees were fair and commensurate w/ my case. I would highly recommend Steven Gaitman for his personal dedication, professionalism, & ability to get results that were in my favor.

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.
