The Miracle Worker

My 19 yr old son whom has never been in trouble before make a bad decision that got him into big trouble. I whom never gone through anything like this before didn't know where to turn. After my son's arraignment, Iwalked across the street to Affordable bonds, bailed him out and asked if they knew a ...lawyer. The bails bondsman said to me " if my son was in trouble there's only one Lawer to represent him Steven Gaitman" I called Mr Gaitman and he returned my call while on vacation. A few days later my sister and I met with him in his office. He was well-dressed, knowledgeable very articulate. I felt that Mr Gaitman felt my pain and Hart ache as if my son was his son. He explained all the charges and put together a game plan. He always keep my son and I up to speed with the case. Mr Gaitman worked out a deal with the prosecutor that's superseded our expectations you really pulled the rabbit out of hat on this. Mr gaitman is truly a miracle worker and I am so grateful for you.

Light at the end of the tunnel

Prior to retaining Mr. Gaitman, my case was going in a different direction; the wrong direction. A close friend of mine utilized the expertise of Mr. Gaitman, and highly recommended him to handle my case. From our first meeting and to the present date, Steven has done everything to turn my case aro...und and point it in the right direction. Steven is caring, smart, articulate, and thinks outside the box. My case is still in progress; however, I feel confident that my outcome will take a turn for the better. The legal process is daunting and frightful. Mr. Gaitman has completely turned things around, and I am now starting to see light at the end of the tunnel. If you are looking for an attorney who will handle your case with empathy and expertise, look no further than Steven Gaitman.

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

Excellent

I’ve had Steven for prior cases and he handled them efficiently and in a timely manner. I recently needed a lawyer and got in contact with him and he once again came to my defense where he helped me clear my driving record issues. He doesn’t waste time and works with you accordingly. If I ever need a...nother lawyer he would be my top selection.
