Review Steven Breit

Great Attorney!!!

Posted by

Steven Breit represented me for a traffic violation and was able to have the charge significantly reduced. I would highly recommend consulting with him for anyone receiving a traffic citation BEFORE pleading guilty. He is fair and honest.

Steve Breit is an All-Star lawyer

I had a situation where I was issued a number of traffic citations on top of speeding that would have brought me close to having my license suspended. I initially had gone to court and tried to defend myself - bad idea. I called around to people I knew in Lancaster who might help me find the best possible lawyer and Steve Breit's name came up from someone I deeply respect. Steve was fantastic. He put me totally at ease before my court appearance, told me exactly what I had to do, helped think through what had happened when I got pulled over for speeding and then he went in and negotiated a deal that only dramatically reduced my points but also got me a refund. Steve is well, well, well worth the money and a great person to work with. Just don't do what I did and try to defend yourself -- call Steve right away! You'll be so happy you did. Thanks, Steve!
