Mr Gaitman is the best lawyer in NY hands down!!!!

I should of written this review a while ago. I was in a situation where I was completely innocent but everything was against me. I was literally up the river at the time Nassau county had a 99% conviction rate my attorney at the time was advising me to cop out to 3 years although I didn’t do it. I fi...red him and hired Steven Gaitman and it was probably one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life. He worked diligently on my case advised me and my family as I was a minor at the time. He cleared my name and saved valuable time in my life. Honestly my daughter was born the next year and that wouldn’t of happened had I been in prison. I don’t write reviews for anybody or anything good or bad but I owe Mr Gaitman at least. He’s represented me and countless friends to everybody satisfaction. If you read this review just know I’m proof. I was facing 6-12 years and picked out of lineup. Hire Mr Gaitman and good luck with your case.

Great experience with a fantastic lawyer

Our family and I felt that Steven Gaitman treated us like real human beings and carried himself so professionally and yet very compassionate to my sons case. We highly recommend Steven for his great ability to give us the best outcome in a serious situation. He was always available, on time and alway...s answered calls or texts when we needed questions answered. We wish him and his family the best in their lives because he gave us good hope and happiness in ours.

  • 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.
