Terrific lawyer!
Steve knows exactly what he’s doing! He made the dui process quick easy and as painless as possible! His rates are more than fair and he will make sure you understand everything you are going through. Thank you so much Steve!

Attorney Breit was not only reasonably priced, he showed up early to court and was overly prepared!! He was a shark in court and I could not have been happier with my outcome!!

Great attorney
I couldn't have felt more taken care of with Steven as my attorney. I was referred to him by a previous client. I can't be happier that I followed their lead. From the beginning he was so warm and friendly. He went the extra mile to really look into what could be done about my unique situation. I can't not be happier with the results! Don't look further, If you're in the Lancaster area you found your guy!!

Best recommended attorney in Lancaster
When my loved one was charged with a DUI we had friends who recommended Steven as a reputable attorney. We are so thankful that we went through Steven, he is knowledgeable, down to earth and explains what's going on with your case. He typically communicates through email which is best for us so we can share any documents that we had received throughout the process of the case. When we would find out about the court date we would reach out to Steven and vice versa, he would reach out to us regarding dates to attend or that he would attend for us. Because our first partnership with him was so beneficial, we had to rely on him again when a citation was given for a suspended license. Steven was gracious to take on our case and really fought for our loved one through and through. He was so knowledgeable with the court proceedings that the citation was completely dismissed by the judge and all the stress and anxiety is completely gone. I would recommend Steven to anyone who is in trouble legally in the Lancaster county area.

The absolute best lawyer in Lancaster
Steven Breit has represented me twice. He's that good that I hired him again. On both occasions all chargers were dismissed. Give this man your money! Recently, I was charged Harassment - Subject Other to Physical Contact. After representation from Steven, the citation was dismissed. Previously, he represented me in 2018 for an underage and possession, those charges were dismissed as well. He gets you the results you want. Steven Breit is a great guy and an even better lawyer. I would choose him again in a heartbeat if I need representation.

Operating vehicle under suspended license
My Lawyer Steve Breit was able to get my charges reduced to driving without license. And now I’m able to get my license back in a few days. Great job to my attorney. Trust the process.

The Best Of The Best!
Steven has, by far, exceeded my expectations! After receiving a citation that could potentially bring me jail time, I called a few different lawyers. Steven was the only one to get back to me the same day, Black Friday at that. He eased my mind and explained to me my options and what he could do for me. It was a no brainer to hire him as my lawyer and I am so glad I did! He was very informative and walked me through every possible outcome the following Monday and explained, in detail, everything that I had to do prior to my hearing. The day of the hearing he worked his magic and negotiated with the arresting office to get my citation significantly lowered. What could have ended in jail time was lowered to just a fine. He is well worth every penny and I would recommend him to anyone!!

Simply the Best!!
If you are looking to hire an attorney, look no further than Steven Breit! I hired Steven to represent me and I couldn't be happier with the results!! He is a fantastic attorney, prompt, respectful, transparent and an EXCELLENT negotiator! I was a nervous wreck leading up to my preliminary hearing as he explained what could happen if we went to court, but would work to have the charges reduced and apply for ARD program. He was able to get my 2 major charges dropped and it was SETTLED at the preliminary with very minimal fines and 0 points!! He is the man and fights for his clients, do yourself a favor and hire him, you won't regret it!!!

Top Gun! Results, Knowledge, Coaching, Value
I recently hired Steve to represent me in a motor vehicle case that I could have potentially faced jail time. Leading up to the hearing I was a nervous wreck. But after meeting with Steve he put me at ease and explained what his approach was going to be and told me what I needed to know and what to avoid he also did not promise me anything and told me what could potentially happen so I would be prepared. He contacted me the day before the hearing to remind me of all we had discussed. The next morning I arrived early to hearing and Steve was already there we went outside and he informed me of what I should avoid. We went back in side and that's when I saw why this Lawyer has the reputation he has. The arresting officer had entered the DJ Office and went into the hearing room and Steve excused himself and entered the same room as the officer with paper thin walls I heard almost everything and a few minutes later he came and escorted me into the hearing. I entered the hearing with two charges in which I would lose my Lic. for Two Years and potential jail time which would have had a major impact on my life and my loved ones. However due to Mr. Breit's due diligence, I left with significantly less severe charges and a clear path to driving privileges being restored to me the fee he charged me was worth ten times what I paid for his services. Now I know why he has a 9.6 rating and 169 reviews from grateful clients like myself. THANK YOU MR. BREIT!!!!! I HOPE I NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,IN A COURT ROOM ANYWAY!

Man of his word
Had an accident in a cdl vehicle which is way worse for the driver and the company he said he could help and he came through got the citation changed to no points and not a serious driving offense which potentially saved my cdl from being suspended

Public Intoxication
Hired Steven and he had the charges dropped. Grand total for me was around $700. $50 consultation fee (which he waived) and $650 to hire him.

Top traffic lawyer
I had a traffic ticket and was referred to Mr. Breit. Probably one of the best traffic court experiences. On the verge of losing my license, Mr. Breit was able to reduce the fine, eliminate the points, and save my license! Mr. Breit was kind, knowledgeable, on time, and always responded in a timely manner. Unlike other lawyers, Mr. Breit will not only fight for you in court, but he followed up and went out of his way to make sure I was satisfied after the case. Mr. Breit in my opinion is one of the top lawyers in the state. I highly recommend him to anyone.

Best lawyer money buys
I hired Mr. Breit after getting my first FELONY offense, he explained to me what he wanted to do and then went out and did just that. He was able to get me placed into ARD which will further expunge my record after some time. I would highly recommend Mr. Breit to anyone looking for the best attorney around Lancaster.

Steven is a Miracle Worker❣️
Steven Breit came highly recommended to me from several other distinguished attorneys. Upon meeting him, I immediately knew he was everything & more that his reputation spoke of. Steven & his assistant Jessica instantly put me at ease with the knowing I was in the most professional & capable hands. I was facing a dire situation with a DUI case & looking at a terrifying amount of time in state prison. Steven used his knowledge & incredible skills to get me accepted into a home confinement program. This man saved my life! I cannot say enough about him. He is everything & more that you want your attorney to be. Steven Breit is a Godsend!
