Best lawyer, real confident

I contacted Steven's Office in search of professional help with my case. I'm glad to say Steven did a very good job with my case and I'm a Free Man. He is quick, very confident in his work, he has your back, has the right experience and tells you the possible outcomes. Just as they say if you can't h...andle the stress you can't handle the success. He did that to the latter. I will recommend him to someone who wants help with traffic violations or any other matter.

Thankful truck driver

Hired based on reviews and works with CDL drivers. I was pulled over for 18 mph over. He was able to talk to the cop and get it reduced to 5 over without even seeing the judge. This resulted in no points which is huge with a CDL. I would definitely recommend. Thanks!

Thankful We Hired Mr Breit

My daughter and I hired Attorney Breit after she was arrested for retail theft. Mr Breit listened to my daughters side of the story and answered all of our questions. With Mr. Breit's advice and guidance my daughter enrolled in a positive solution theft school. At her trail Mr. Breit worked with the ...prosecutor and judge to have the charges dismissed upon successful completing of the theft school. After the charges were dismissed Mr Breit had all of my daughters criminal records expunged. If you need a defense attorney to work for you I highly recommend Mr. Breit

Speeding ticket

Steven represented me for a speeding ticket which carried a 4 point consequence and a 180$ fine. Steven worked out a plea with the officer for 5 miles over with zero points. Steven is very professional kind and caring. I hope I don’t need his professional services again but if I do he will represent ...me again!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
