Exceptional Attorney Who Gets Results

I can't recommend Steven Breit highly enough! I was facing a challenging traffic violation, and from our first meeting, Mr. Breit demonstrated his expertise and dedication to my case. He took the time to thoroughly understand the details, answer all my questions, and keep me informed every step of th...e way. His in-depth knowledge of traffic law, combined with his strong courtroom relationships, truly made a difference. Mr. Breit fought hard on my behalf, and his skill and professionalism led to a fantastic outcome. If you're looking for an attorney who genuinely cares about his clients and knows how to get results, Steven Breit is the one to trust!

Terrific lawyer!

Steve knows exactly what he’s doing! He made the dui process quick easy and as painless as possible! His rates are more than fair and he will make sure you understand everything you are going through. Thank you so much Steve!

Best recommended attorney in Lancaster

When my loved one was charged with a DUI we had friends who recommended Steven as a reputable attorney. We are so thankful that we went through Steven, he is knowledgeable, down to earth and explains what's going on with your case. He typically communicates through email which is best for us so we ca...n share any documents that we had received throughout the process of the case. When we would find out about the court date we would reach out to Steven and vice versa, he would reach out to us regarding dates to attend or that he would attend for us. Because our first partnership with him was so beneficial, we had to rely on him again when a citation was given for a suspended license. Steven was gracious to take on our case and really fought for our loved one through and through. He was so knowledgeable with the court proceedings that the citation was completely dismissed by the judge and all the stress and anxiety is completely gone. I would recommend Steven to anyone who is in trouble legally in the Lancaster county area.

The Best Of The Best!

Steven has, by far, exceeded my expectations! After receiving a citation that could potentially bring me jail time, I called a few different lawyers. Steven was the only one to get back to me the same day, Black Friday at that. He eased my mind and explained to me my options and what he could do f...or me. It was a no brainer to hire him as my lawyer and I am so glad I did! He was very informative and walked me through every possible outcome the following Monday and explained, in detail, everything that I had to do prior to my hearing. The day of the hearing he worked his magic and negotiated with the arresting office to get my citation significantly lowered. What could have ended in jail time was lowered to just a fine. He is well worth every penny and I would recommend him to anyone!!

Simply the Best!!

If you are looking to hire an attorney, look no further than Steven Breit! I hired Steven to represent me and I couldn't be happier with the results!! He is a fantastic attorney, prompt, respectful, transparent and an EXCELLENT negotiator! I was a nervous wreck leading up to my preliminary hearin...g as he explained what could happen if we went to court, but would work to have the charges reduced and apply for ARD program. He was able to get my 2 major charges dropped and it was SETTLED at the preliminary with very minimal fines and 0 points!! He is the man and fights for his clients, do yourself a favor and hire him, you won't regret it!!!
