Best Lawyer

Steven has taken a few of my cases and every time it has been in my favor. I am a licensed CDL driver and I got a speeding ticket with a possible five points and suspension. Steven went to my hearing and not only did I not get points, no suspension! Highly recommend!

Facing a disqualification/suspension on my CDL

Steven was a absolute pit bull! He not only got the charge dismissed, he completely proved my case , and the court had no choice but to find me not guilty. Simply put, he is THE BEST lawyer for CDL traffic matters in central PA. I couldn't be happier! It was worth every penny!

CDL A Driver from DE with lots to lose and very fearful of an unfair trial...

Very happy I hired Steve to represent me. Just a head's up, this review is very detail oriented! My family and I think he's an excellent choice. I received a citation from an officer of the law nearby Jason's Woods. My family and I were going to celebrate my daughter's Halloween themed birthday ...with her peers from school. The citation seemed simple for a person with a regular class D license and residing in the state of PA. Unfortunate for me, I have a class A CDL license and I reside in DE. After speaking to numerous nearby attorneys that deal with traffic offenses on a regular basis, none of them seemed to care or seemed to know how bad a moving violation can impact somebody in the state of DE. In PA state, it's no big deal, they all said. They were correct but after PA's done with me, DE state will go ahead and add points based upon their own rules and how they feel about it. I can't afford having any points added to my CDL A because my employer's insurance will ask for me to be dropped (temporarily unemployed till further notice) by my employer. Not only that but with points on my license, it'll be very difficult for any prospective employment because nobody would want such a liability on their insurance. It would raise the company's premium. For some reason, the other attorneys I consulted with didn't seem to understand that. At that moment, I felt very scared for me and my family's future. I felt sad because these attorneys made it seem like there was absolutely no other way to go about it. They wanted me to submit a guilty plea and see what DE state decides to do about it. They even tried to tell me that my job should be okay because I have a clean driving record anyway. That's when I heard about Steven from another CDL A driver that lives in MD state and works with me. He told me Steve was very straight forward and honest. Steven was able to get him out of a similar offense but my friend had a speeding violation. I'm so glad I got to do business with him. Steven knew the consequences, the seriousness and the sensitivity of the situation. He clearly understood that my livelihood was at stake. He walked me through the entire process from beginning to end. He delivered like he said he would. I was very pleased with the results when I walked out of that courtroom yesterday. Steven is the reason why I'm still employed and my driving record is still clean. Needless to say, I was no longer in fear because Steven's experience made me feel very relaxed. I would strongly recommend him to anybody seeking help with any legal situation. I would also definitely hire him again if necessary. For my sake, let's hope not (fingers crossed)...

Impactfull Results!

After i had hired this attorney and consulted with him, i knew i had made a very safe decision. He is very intelligent in the and would be without a doubt should be your choice if you are within Lancaster. I was very pleased with the options he had made possible for me such as ARD probation, which y...ou have to qualify for. He also will handle all of te paperwork necessary and if you do not know anything about the law world, you are in safe hands if represented by Mr. Steven L. Breit. He is a fast moving guy because he knows his plan exactly and what needs to be done. Just make sure you talk with him appropriately and ask him to explain things you are unsure of, he means well. All in all he has the power to move you along with the process you are in.

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.
