Steven John Gilpatrick

Upon receiving a summons I was in shock. After settling down to read the document I noted the deadline. I had twenty days to reply to the judge or the court judge would decide everything. Not knowing how to respond I started looking for a divorce/family law attorney. I found Steve Gilpatrick and ...gave the office a call. His extremely friendly staff started the process. I was provided a free consultation within two days from the initial call. I met with Steve and within 20 minutes I was at ease. He explained things so simply and in layman’s terms. What was required of myself and the deadlines to be met to not offend the court. I was also provided a sample billing statement showing what the charges and fees associated with my case would amount to per month. He told me the things I should not do as the process went and the things I needed to do to help myself through the ordeal. Providing documents in a timely manner and helping his staff, Brooke and Bria, by being organized and thorough in my efforts resulted in minimal costs and heartache until we got to the end without ever visiting the court. It couldn’t have been easier. Retaining Mr Gilpatrick as my attorney was a great decision.

I hired Steve to do a simple change of venue motion. My ex wife filed a bogus suit in another county and since I have custody of all three children I hired Steve to first win the change of venue since we had been living here with the children for several years, and then subsequently to take the case ...after the venue change. I hired Steve because I had heard he was good. Steve ignored my emails but charged me for reading them (evidently a malpractice claim in itself). He was totally unprepared for the change of venue hearing and got his ass kicked. I had to hire a new lawyer to take over this case and he still can't believe how poorly Steve did. It was an easy win but he failed. Steve is a nice guy but he doesn't give a damn about his clients. It's a paycheck and nothing more.
