Steve is Incredible

I’ve been very fortunate to have known Steve well before law school as well as during law school. Steve is one of the most caring and competent attorneys I know. In a world full of mediocre and downright awful lawyers, Steve stands above them all. I couldn’t recommend him more. If Steve is your attor...ney, you won’t be disappointed.

Highest Recommendation

Our family has worked with Mr. Gittleson in various situations, we have had a variety of situations that have required legal counsel from traffic violations, a DUI situation involving an under 21 driver, and personal injury. In every situation, Mr. Gittleson was compassionate and extremely clear abo...ut what our options were and what to expect. He has an incredible ability to put his clients at ease with his confidence and understanding. Mr. Gittleson is careful to make sure his clients know all the possible outcomes so that they are prepared for their court appearance and can make the most inform decisions. I would highly recommend Mr. Gittleson!

Really Worth A Call!

Steve really saved me a lot of personal anxiety through the court process. I was all nerves all the time about how it would go, and what were the possibilities. I couldn't afford to lose my license or pay heavy court fees. He had more than just answers, he had an understanding of the courts and al...l the people involved and he was always right about each step. It went from a nightmare situation to something I could get through without causing me to feel sick. I couldn't thank him enough. Now I'm always so grateful to know that I have met someone like him, who will be there if you need help, and actually cares about his clients. Worth every cent! Thank you, Steve!

Highly Recommend

I contacted Mr. Gittleson for a traffic violation that I needed to go to court for. He is very professional but yet personable and very easy to talk with. He responded to all my emails and phone calls promptly. He was thorough and explains everything in detail so there is nothing to be confused ab...out. He also did a great job representing me in court. I would highly recommend using Mr. Gittleson for your legal matters.

Mr. Y.G.

From day one Mr. Gittleson was extremely professional and an advocate for my rights and for a positive resolution to my case. He was extremely knowledgeable, responsive and went out of his way to ensure he kept me informed. I have recommended him and will continue to do as such. He is a fantastic ind...ividual and a great lawyer and I will continue to rely on him for future legal assistance. Mr. Gittleson is kind, understanding and goes out of his way to ensure you are informed of your options. I highly recommend him for any and all your legal needs.
