Steven Gaitman Best Lawyer Ever

I was at a desperate scary time much like his other clients and I also suppose likewise his presence immediately calm my nerves. He assured me he would help me and was honest that I was facing a harsh punishment if I didn’t retain him. He formulated a plan and went right to work even though I had a p...ayment plan. I thank god for this lawyer and I know he will be recompensed far more than cash but with divinity throughout his lifetime. P.s there’s no better lawyer trust me

The LIGHT at the end of the tunnel…

Steven Gaitman came into our life sent by GOD. He was thorough and articulate in gathering the necessary information for my case. Steven is a great listener; that took the time to listen to our story. He was also a great communicator. Steven guided both my fiancé and I and was our beacon at a difficu...lt moment. Steven is a great energy and smart and was there for us through the entire process guiding us and being our voice. The outcome was a positive one. I recommend Steven from a professional and a personal level experience. Thank you so much. Frances & Christopher

Lawyer of the Year

I hired Steven based on one conversation. He was direct and extremely knowledgeable. Steven made me feel comfortable with my sons case. Having a 17 yr get into trouble is probably one of the hardest things to deal with but Steven ensured me that he would be okay and now he is. My family and I are ver...y happy with his service and his honesty. K.H Valley Stream, NY

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
