Above and beyond

If you’re looking for an attorney that is willing to go above and beyond to absolve his clients, then Mr. Gaitman would be the perfect one! My husband was pulled over and charged for having narcotic medication which was not prescribed to him in a medicine bottle with some other medication that was. ...This case was severe due to my husbands background, he was facing lengthy time and a drug treatment program, although my husband is not an addict. Long story short, in just 3 court sessions Mr. Gaitman got my husbands case reduced to no jail time with some court fines. I’m so thankful that this case is over in time for us to be together for the holidays stress free. Thank you Mr. Gaitman, we appreciate everything you did for us!

Could not have asked for more

I had hired Steven Gaitman to resolve a legal matter that I had gotten myself into. Mr. Gaitman walked me through everything (as I was in over my head), fought for the best interest of myself and my family and resolved my issue with great ease. I would HIGHLY recommend him!

Steven Gaitman

I would like to say that my family and i have been represented by Steven Gaitman for over 20 years and that not only has he delivered every single time, he also always kept his word and is much cheaper than all of the others out there! He's got a lot of experience and is a true professional. I have... never heard a complaint about this man and he goes above and beyond to help any of his clients. He has truly been a blessing to me. my family, and mt friends. Not easy to find a lawyer that is always honest..............but i am glad to say that I have........in Steven Gaitman. His track record speaks for itself and his knowledge is on another level. If you want the job done right and for an affordable price, then this is the only lawyer that you should be contacting. He has never let any of us down in over 20 years. He has actually exceeded all of our expectations by going above and beyond his line of duty! I am glad to say that i have an attorney that gets the job done and that i can 100% trust! thank you Steven for all you have done and for all that you continue to do!

The best NY lawyer!

My son, a licensed and registered gun owner in MO, traveled unknowingly with it in his work bag to NY to drop his daughter off to her mother. It was an unplanned and rushed trip, where he transferred all of his belongings from his work truck to his car. He was stopped due because a cop just happened ...to run his Missouri plates and stated that his registration came up empty!? Long story even longer, he was put in handcuffs and his car searched. He was facing a minimum of 3 years. My kid is a hard working truck driver and single father and was about to be railroaded. Steven literally saved him! No jail, no probation and he gets to come home after 5 months. Thank you Mr. Gaitman.

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.
