Steven Jared Gaitman

Steven Gaitman is a highly skilled defense lawyer. At a time when we needed someone to listen, answer questions and give advice he was always patient and available. He is a highly experienced lawyer, genuine, trustworthy, knowledgable and hardworking. He always kept us informed and was always prep...ared. I would highly recommend Steven Gaitman to anyone in need of a lawyer!

I was told that my records would be sealed, but never told that they would be only *partially* sealed until the judgement was already completed. Come to find out nearly two years later that had I just pled guilty to the original charges rather than accepting a non-sense plea deal, I could have be...en eligible for a complete sealing had I satisfied certain conditions, which I would have been more than willing to do. I now have a record that is available to pretty much any employer that cares to do a background check. Extremely discouraging after I spent two years turning my life around only to find myself unemployable and unaware all of this time.

Mr. Gaitman did not respond to our questions regarding an "offer" for our son, nor did he return calls. He urged us to a grand jury, saying he had a very good record with grand juries, and that he would prepare the witnesses, but then never had the "time" to do that. He also did not inform us that ...by submitting to a grand jury, if indicted, our son could be re-arrested, re-arraigned, and charged with higher charges and jailed at a higher bail/bond. We might have done things differently had we known that. As a result, we were put in a more serious situation. We ultimately dismissed Mr. Gaitman which put us in the position of hiring another attorney and paying another retainer.
