Awesome Attorney

He was the most understanding and worked so well with me. He knew that the crime that I committed had to do with the fact that I was at that time in the throes of my addiction. He worked so well with the district attorneys office to get me the best deal ever. I was facing years in prison and at the e...nd I got four months in the county jail with five years probation. It felt really good to have an attorney by my side that totally understood that I needed to get help and he guided me in that direction. I recommend him 100% because he got me through and he also got my family through one of the worst situations that I put myself into because of my addiction. He is compassionate, patient and very knowledgeable and works well with the district attorneys office. I am so grateful that my mother hired him and I recommend him to anybody who’s looking for an excellent and supportive criminal attorney.

Excellent at his work

Gaitman was excellent!! He was very informative and knowledgeable about the ins and outs of my case. He kept me up to date about every step on my case. He also thinks outside the box and that’s what I needed!! Additionally he was able to get me a deal that seemed impossible!! Gaitman is the truth!! I... would refer anyone to him!! He also allowed me to make payments which was helpful. Best defense attorney out there!!

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.

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

Thank you Mr. Gaitman

This was not my first offense. I had gone upstate once because I did not hire a good lawyer. This time I made a right choice and Mr. Gaitman delivered on exactly what he said he would do. He understands how the system works, and used his knowledge to hook me up. He told me how the process would w...ork once i got out of county, and he followed through on everything he said. He took care of me and my family. Good Good.
