Out of State Speeding

Attorney Breit delivered on what he said he would do.He got my 84 in a 65 down to a 70 in 65 with no points on my cdl license.If you are from out of state and need help on a speeding violation be sure to give him a call.

Public Drunkenness

Attorney Breit was very helpful with my case. I was charged with public drunkenness and he was able to negotiate the charge to be dismissed. He was professional and explained everything in layman terms. He was also committed to answering any questions, comments, or concerns throughout the process, vi...a email. I would highly recommend Attorney Breit when faced with legal issues.

Speeding Ticket

I was ticketed for doing just over 80 mph in a 55 mph zone in PA while on my way from VA to NY the weekend before Thanksgiving. I tried contacting several lawyers without getting anywhere when I finally came across Steven. I accepted to take me on as a client and charged me what I thought seemed to b...e a reasonable amount. He told me I didn't need to be present for my summary trial, which saved me about a 3-hour trip, one way. But, best of all was him being able to get my ticked reduced to only 5 mph over the limit with no points on my license. I'm even getting a refund from the original amount I had to pay to the court. I was lucky to come across Steve. Hopefully this review helps point a few others in need in his direction so you can get the kind of help I received.

Steven, represented me with extreme professionalism and excellent performance

5 stars!

He has done work for me on a traffic school bus violation and had the citation reduced to avoid a license suspension. He really cares about your case and does amazing work.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
