Best Lawyer and paralegal

r. Steve was an absolute life saver with my divorce. He was patient, kind and very helpful with explaining terms and procedures with me that my previous lawyer did not do. His paralegal Brooke is the true gem and queen of communication. The quick response time from Mr. Steve and Brooke was unlike any...thing I’ve ever experienced. Truly the best of the best! I would give them 10 stars if I could!

Unwavering support, compassionate guidance, and positive results

It is with immense gratitude that I commend the exemplary legal counsel provided by Steve and Brooke during my recent divorce proceedings. Their collective expertise and strategic acumen were instrumental in navigating a complex and challenging period. Throughout the process, their p...rofessionalism was unimpeachable. Steve and Brooke demonstrated an unwavering commitment to my case, characterized by meticulous attention to detail, proactive communication, and remarkable responsiveness. Their compassionate and steadfast guidance provided a source of stability during a time of uncertainty. The favorable resolution achieved is a direct testament to their dedication and exceptional legal skill. I unequivocally recommend Steve's firm to any individual seeking legal representation of the highest caliber.

Best lawyer ever.

Very knowledgeable about law and confident in getting you what you want. Very organized and made gathering documents effective and easy. I was very distraught and threatened by my ex husband. However, Mr. Gilpatrick made me feel safe and validated. Don't let his calm demeanor fool you, he is a bull...dog. Brooke is very good at what she does and has a infectious postive attitude. After several consultations with others, I was confident I made a good choice with this practice. I recommend him to everyone looking for a divorce.

Reliable and Communicative

I had an excellent experience with Mr. Gilpatrick as my attorney the outcome of my case was better than expected, and I truly appreciate his accessibility. He always returned my phone calls or emails the same day, which made me feel well supported throughout the process. Mr. Gilpatrick kept me update...d and informed about all aspects of my case, ensuring there were as few surprises as possible. I highly recommend his services to anyone in need of a reliable and communicative attorney. Brook, his paralegal, is also fantastic as well. They have worked together seamlessly for years, and are a top-notch duo.

Professional & Personal

I’m very pleased with the service & support Steve and his paralegal, Brooke, provided me during my divorce. I consulted with 3 lawyers before retaining Steve, and I chose Steve because, instead of talking at me, he talked with me, listened to me, and genuinely helped me understand the situation, wha...t my options were, and what his recommendations were. Brooke is absolutely wonderful — was always there with a prompt reply to my questions; she’s extremely knowledgeable in her own right; she was always professional, but also very personable which really aided me in walking through this hard, painful time. I thank them both and very highly recommend them. You get a powerful, helpful team in these two.
