Great lawyer

I had serious charges and as soon as I met with him he took charge. He made me feel comfortable and less stressed. He was always available when I needed to ask questions. He took my case personally. He does his best. He's very knowledgeable and up to date with the law. Must hire !

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!!

I retained Steven Gaitman for my son who was accused of serious charges. I felt confident from the first consultation as Steven had already contacted the courts/parole in finding out the facts of charges prior to our appointment. Steven is assertive, takes charge and gets things done ....willing to a...nswer all my questions/concerns and it was always easy to reach him. Highly recommend Steve Gaitman as my son could have spent many years incarcerated...case was dismissed!!

reliable & responsive

Steven was always available or called back every time. Case went on for almost two years and he fought the good fight for me. Excellent criminal attorney, he and his firm. He treated me with respect and took personal interest in my case. I felt as if I really had an advocate and I did with Steven. If... you're in trouble, call Steven Gaitman on the double!

Great Defense Lawyer

I was introduced to Steven Gaitman by a former lawyer to help me with a felony charge. He was able to reduce my charge to a violation and a fine. It took sometime going back to court on different dates. But the outcome was worth it. He helped me through a hard time in my life. I was able to resolve t...hat case and move on. Through the whole case he was respectful and professional. I highly recommend Mr. Gaitman as defense attorney.

Highly recommend

Mr. Gaitman was there for me durung a difficult time in my life. He made it possible for me to be home to witness my first daughter be born. He's very prompt. My family contacted him after midnight and he was there for my arraignment in the morning. Mr. Gaitman is always available and very reasonable.... I would recommend him anyone in need of help.

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.
