Great criminal defense lawyer

Mr. Gaitman shows how knowledgeable he is about criminal defense. He waited for the right time to file a motion to dismiss and resolved my case.

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.

SUPERMAN

Mr. Steven Gaitman (AKA-SUPERMAN) is a artist in his field,. He has represented me for over 20yrs from Hempstead Criminal court to the Supreme Court on a Grand Jury indictment and several places in between. He is a winner and a true Champ!!!!! He keeps you thoroughly informed, explains all you...r options, always responds quickly and his rates are reasonable. Do not make the mistake of going elsewhere..... When you see him in action, it's like seeing a Professional against amateurs, he dwarfs the competition. It's like hiring the "A-Team". At times I was forced to retain other representation and I always regretted not having Superman in my corner. Do make that mistake! If you are are reading this review, you probably already did something stupid, it's time to retain Mr. Gaitman so he can fix it; dont continue the stupidity..... Good Luck

Steven Gaitman

I would like to say that my family and i have been represented by Steven Gaitman for over 20 years and that not only has he delivered every single time, he also always kept his word and is much cheaper than all of the others out there! He's got a lot of experience and is a true professional. I have... never heard a complaint about this man and he goes above and beyond to help any of his clients. He has truly been a blessing to me. my family, and mt friends. Not easy to find a lawyer that is always honest..............but i am glad to say that I have........in Steven Gaitman. His track record speaks for itself and his knowledge is on another level. If you want the job done right and for an affordable price, then this is the only lawyer that you should be contacting. He has never let any of us down in over 20 years. He has actually exceeded all of our expectations by going above and beyond his line of duty! I am glad to say that i have an attorney that gets the job done and that i can 100% trust! thank you Steven for all you have done and for all that you continue to do!

A Consummate Professional

I consulted with Mr. Gaitman to assist me with a past criminal matter. I have never encountered a criminal attorney whose legal acumen matches his personal disposition. He was both extremely knowledgeable & personable at the same time. He made me feel at ease immediately. He passed no judgment an...d was only concerned with providing me with concise information and a suggested course of action to resolve my issue. My case is complicated and has a number of parts to it, and without any reservations whatsoever, he pledged assistance from every attorney in his firm to work on my case. It is extremely rare to find an attorney this compassionate about helping his clients, and I was overwhelmed by his support and as soon as I'm financially able to - I will be retaining him, I recommend Mr. Gaitman wholeheartedly and enthusiastically. He is easily in the Top 5 criminal attorneys in Nassau County.
