Integrity Beyond Reproach

I have hired Steven Gaitman several times over the last 15 years to represent me for DUI & other felony charges. Mr. Gaitman is a great investigator & negotiator & is knowledgeable in all areas of his field. He has many years of experience & in the courtroom his demeanor is impeccable. I found him ...to be committed to me, his client, with the confidence & perseverance needed to win at trial. Mr Gaitman was always available to me throughout the whole process & communicated to me all the particulars of the progress in my case. I felt that his fees were fair and commensurate w/ my case. I would highly recommend Steven Gaitman for his personal dedication, professionalism, & ability to get results that were in my favor.

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
