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!

Marylands Best Attorney

I have used Steve several times for DUI related cases. Each time Steve not only explained all different scenarios specific to my arrest/case but also coached me on things to do during pre-trial in order to make a better case for myself for when we went to court, In addition to him fighting for the b...est possible outcome. My last case I was facing serious jail time and Steve laid out a plan for me to do before court in order to be better prepared and present a better case. During the trial from the beginning (checking in with the DA and cop) he fought for me and spoke eloquently and professionally to the judge which the result ended up saving my freedom, job, license, and allowed me to keep my standard of living. Hiring Steve is a no brainer that I will always recommend to other friends in family in need of a lawyer.

A Superb Lawyer

Steve did a great job for me as my divorce attorney. His communication skills and style are very direct and plain language which make it easy and efficient to do business with him. He was encouraging with his advice while still being respectful of my wishes. Steve helped really made my divorce a ...lot easier than I thought it would be. A real pleasure to work with him.

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.
