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.

Are you thinking that you need to talk to an attorney? Need legal advice?

That’s where I was – panicked, hurt, angry, confused and unsure of my options or if I even had any. It was one big mess or so I thought. Mr. Gittleson (Steve) took my telephone call and listened patiently as I, holding in the tears (and curse words), told my story. I also had questions – should I?... Could I? What was I to do? His questions were probing but straight to the point; uncovering what I really wanted as an outcome and then developing a plan to achieve this. Response emails with letters of agreement attached were written, sent and my desired outcome reached. As a result I am confident of the advice he presented and will not hesitate to contact him again when a need arises. Mr. Steven Gittleson is a caring, knowledgeable person and I fully trust him with my legal needs.

A brilliant attorney, a remarkable person, and reasonable fees

May I mention that I have known Mr. Steve Gittleson for about twelve years and have used his legal counsel for about ten of those years. He is a highly educated person; but at the same time, always down to earth. When you speak with him concerning a legal matter, he is able to make you feel secure wi...th the analysis that he gives as it relates to whatever legal issue that you may have. Not only his knowledge of law, but also the gentle firmness that he exerts when he explains the complexities of your specific case make you feel confident in his defense of you, relaxed when you are in his presence, and always certain of a positive outcome in regard to whatever legal concern that you may have. Some examples: I have used Steve's services for several minor car accidents wherein liability was not an issue for me; rather it was the fault of the other driver(s). I was always able to achieve fair settlements in regard to compensation for these accidents. Secondly, as a business owner, I have engaged his legal counsel in reference to decision making for landlord/tenant disputes. Steve has consistantly come up with win-win solutions for me and the property owners. A final positive: for the quality of service that he delivers, his fees are extremely reasonable.

The best lawyer in Maryland.

Providence could not have made a better choice than the Law Offices of Steven E. Gittleson, Esq. I had to divorce but could not afford a lawyer. I requested legal services through the Catholic Charities and they connected me with the most incredible and trustworthy lawyer in Maryland. Mr Steven E. ...Gittleson was outstanding in all areas. He gave clear and concise advice. He was so dedicated to my case that he met with me on Sundays and holidays if he deemed it necessary. He was so friendly that he walked with me from his office to the courtroom one day prior to my hearing so that i could see firsthand how a similar proceeding is being carried out. He kept telling me:'' That is exactly how it looks like. That is where you will be sitted. That is how much time it takes. Please, let us go through the possible questions again.'' Yes, my lawyer embraced my case. He was filling forms on my behalf, representing me if my time-table did not allow me to, monitoring the status of my files, following up with the court, keeping me informed, responding promptly or returning all my calls. He did all these things free of charge and even made sure i did not pay anything as he agreed to in the first place. The day i were finally given the divorce decree, my lawyer looked as happy as i were. He showed us the way out of the court. I then realized how lucky i was to have had him as a lawyer and a family member in a sense. Should you wish to engage a lawyer to represent you, I wholeheartedly and without a second thought recommend the Law Offices of Steven E.Gittleson,Esq.
