Very Professional

Mr. Breit represented me very professionally and was always available and accommodating when I needed answers. He was thorough, personable and clearly knew what he was doing. I was very pleased with the work that he did for me from beginning to end.

If you get a ticket Steven is your guy.

I got a speeding ticket, and searched lawyers in Lancaster County. After looking at a few I found Steven, and hired him right away. My ticket was for 80 in a 55 which would be 5 points. Steven got it reduced to 2 points and the fine lowered. He is your guy for any traffic related issues with the law.... Two thumbs way up for Steven.

Amazing Work

I hired Mr. Breit for a speeding ticket I have gotten based on the reviews I’ve read and his years of experience. He was very responsive throughout the whole process and showed a lot of care for my case. He tried negotiating with the officer who ticketed me to reduce the speed or drop the case all to...gether. The police officer was very nonunderstanding about the matter and refused to reconsider his charges. We then went to trail. Mr. Breit was quick on his feet cross examining the officer method and having proper documentation. The officer fails to have the proper documentation and the case was dismissed. I highly recommend attorney Steven Breit for his caring attitude toward his client cases and his knowledgeable experience in law.

Highly recommend

I really appreciated Mr Breit's confidence and support in helping me with my situation. He was the consummate professional, yet put me at ease throughout the process with his friendly, approachable style. His knowledge and experience were evident. He has my highest recommendation.

Amazing, informative, and truly a pleasure to deal with during an unpleasant situation

Steven Breit is a great lawyer. He helped me through a couple sticky situations. At no point did he make me feel devalued as a human, as I dealt with a court system that can be less than fair and far from easy to navigate. He broke things down in an easy to understand manor, kept me posted on where... and when I needed to be somewhere. He is an absolute God send in a legal system that desperately needs them. When you get into trouble with the law, there is always going to be a penalty to be paid. He's a lawyer, not a magician after all, so be real with yourself about the situation you find yourself in and don't be upset if you have to deal with repercussions of your actions. His pricing is more than fair for the work he can accomplish, and well deserved. He helped me get into an ARD program, which far outweighs the potential penalties I was facing. He was honest and straightforward with me, and also has a great personality. I was definitely nervous having to meet with a lawyer, but once I met Steven my anxieties quickly faded away. I can't thank this man enough for all he's done for me. I would recommend his services to anyone finding themselves facing serious charges. He's brilliant, knowledgable, and most importantly cares about his clients not just a quick buck. Thank you, Steven, for everything!
