Awesome!
Having been cited for a DUI (my only) was a frightening experience to say the least. I heard about attorney Breit through recommendations from friends. Within the first few minutes of my first telephone conversation with attorney Breit, he calmly eased my panic, assured me that everything would be ok...

Professional and Honest Legal Advice
Steven provided legal advise regarding my wife's brother criminal case. He was very informative and responsive to our inquiries about legal options. His professionalism and honest legal advice was invaluable for us to confirm and make the correct decision about our legal issue.

We didn't know our rights
In dealing with an issue with our (minor) daugter, I was confused about what our rights were since the police officer involved kept changing what the outcome would be with each discussion. In explaining the situation to Atty. Breit he offered his legal advice on what options/route to take regarding h...

DO NOT WASTE your money on his service.
DO NOT hire him. He WON'T work for YOU; he defended the TROOPER to me after getting much less than what I asked him for. There were many signs that he could not bring what I wanted. I'm a person with just one citation in my whole life, and the ticket I was fighting for with him was the FIRST ticket...
As a college professor at a local university I am disappointed in how you handled this review. You attended your summary trial initially alone and were found guilty because you believed you were entitled to a ‘break’ solely because you never received a prior citation. My review of your file reveals you were initially facing a minimum five point assessment. After you were found guilty based on your “entitlement defense’ you retained me to file an Appeal. This was based on not less than two lengthy telephone conferences and followed up by a case opening letter. After having prepared for your summary appeal hearing we attended same and you requested to speak to the state trooper again raising your ‘entitlement defense’. Although you were not happy that I instructed you to merely sit tight, I met with the state trooper and assistant district attorney and discussed your case. In weighing the strengths and weaknesses of the case you agreed in open court to accept a speed reduction culminating in now only a 2 point assessment. I trust you now understand why we chose this course of action instead of potentially being found guilty based solely on the fact you believed you were ‘entitled’ to a complete exoneration.

don't trust this bozo., your better off with public defender
i wouldn't trust this guy with 1 dollar. He was very interested in taking my case in the beginning and seemed very excited to win my case that first night i left his office feeling very confident about him and that he was the lawyer that i had prayed for. But After I paid my retainer fee. It seemed l...
Although you possessed a loaded gun and synthetic fentanyl we attended your hearing and when the prosecutor reduced the felony gun charge to a misdemeanor, you were more than willing to waive your hearing. After you hired another lawyer the DA realized the plea agreement was too lenient and he reinstated the charges. At that point in time your new lawyer was aware of this. That is why you plead guilty to your charges last week. As far as an investigation about how your case was handled I welcome the opportunity!
"I fully endorse this lawyer. He's very approachable and compassionate and is fully versed in criminal law, especially in DUIs. I have complete confidence referring anyone to him"
"Knows the law and knows his way around the Courts in Central Pennsylvania. I found his assistance invaluable in Lebanon County when I was there myself, and I have have referred clients to Attorney Breit and will continue to do so."
"Steve is the guy that local attorneys would call if they had criminal charges pending. Highly recommended."
"Steve works very hard for his clients and obtains results. I would not hesitate to seek his counsel if I were in need of a top notch attorney."
"I have known Steve as an attorney for close to 10 years. He is knowledgable, professional and a straight shooter. I confidently refer cases to Steve on a regular basis and the referred clients always report back positively."
