Posted by anonymous | September 13, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Strongly recommend!

I hold a CDL and made a silly mistake in my personal vehicle. If the charge had stuck it would have jeopardized my job and after speaking with other drivers and searching reviews, I hired Attorney Breit to help me with the ticket. For obvious reasons I was very stressed about this whole thing but ...the times I spoke with both Attorney Breit and his staff put me at ease tremendously. Attorney Breit managed to get the charge completely withdrawn, which is over and above what I could possibly have hoped for. My job is safe, and whilst I hope to never need his services again, I would 100% recommend him to anybody requiring an attorney for traffic cases in this area.

Excellent job for a fair price

Steven assisted me with a pair of traffic infractions involving inaccurate details on the citations. The same day I retained him his office had already made sure they knew when my family vacation was scheduled and ensured that the hearing was scheduled around those dates. In court Steven quietly li...stened to the judge rattle off the list of infractions then calmly pointed out the factual errors in the citations. His relationship with the court, police and community carried weight as the Judge chose to believe his presentation of the facts. In short, I won and saved several hundred dollars worth of traffic fines. Thanks Steven!

Professional, Knowledgeable and Personable

We hired Steven to help us with a traffic citation we received while driving through PA. We found Steven online and gave his office a call. They answered promptly, asked us for some information and kept us up to date on every aspect of our case as it moved through the system. Even though we were from... out of town and were only working by phone, Steven and his staff could not have been more professional or responsive throughout the process. While we hope to not need an attorney in the Lancaster area again, I am keeping his number and would recommend him to anyone without hesitation.

He Listened

I made calls to several area attorneys and explained my circumstances to them; two of them referred me to Steven indicating that I would be most benefitted by his local experience and reputation. They were right. I retained Steven and he immediately went to work preparing my case. He and his staf...f kept me constantly updated on procedings, rulings, and anticipated outcomes. My specific circumstances left Steven little room within the law; however, he never stopped fighting and advocating. His diligence and experience helped provide me an outcome far, far better than I expected. Steven earned my trust and respect during a conversation wherein I asked him simply to tell the court my story and advocate for me. I watched him take notes during that conversation. He wrote and underlined the words, "Tell his story". Then, at the right time, he did exactly that and when he did, the direction of my case turned in a very favorable way. There were several factors that changed the direction of my case, but they all started when a compassionate and effective attorney truly listened to, and cared about, his client. I'm pleased to call Steven a friend.

Best Lawyer Ever! Don't use anyone else!

I retained Mr. Breit to represent me for four out of state traffic citations I received. His assistant Heather was very courteous and knowledgeable. Mr. Breit spent a considerable amount of time on the phone reviewing all the options. He even gave me his cell number and told to call anytime. The day ...of the hearing I got very lost and never made it to the court house. Mr. Breit convinced the judge dismiss all FOUR of my tickets! Mr. Breit is a consummate professional. I would highly recommended him for all your legal needs.
