He got me through his crazy to my sanity

Amazing! I don't think I could adequately put in words what Steve, Brie and Brook mean to me. I, like most of the posts here, was in a crazy divorce situation. Steven's counsel was rock solid. Of course I was emotional at times but he kept me objective and realistic. To the post who said Steve "t...alked over her".....he is merely direct and to the point. He lets you tell your story but also keeps you on point. He is your lawyer not your counselor. Received an email just yesterday that he was "closing my case" as the divorce is over, but to call any time if issues arose. I'm sure my ex will be in contempt of court at some point and I'll run directly to Steve and Brook. I still need to send ya'll an "Edible Arrangement" fruit basked or something as a token of my thank you.

Wonderful representation

Mr. Gilpatrick assisted me with post divorce issues. He is an incredible professional, competent, effective, transparent, and extremely helpful and kind. I feel like he went above and beyond to make sure I understood everything that was related to my case and he took the time to listen to my concerns.... I definitely recommend him and his team, equally great. He’s a honest, down to earth, super experienced lawyer. Thanks to his advice and expertise, I knew exactly what to expect and felt completely comfortable throughout the case and the hearing. You definitely want him on your side!

Great results!!!

I was very pleased with my experience. Divorce is tough enough as it is, but Steve and his staff were very helpful in explaining and educating me in the process along the way. Steve and his staff are very knowledgeable and worked to help me geg the best result possible in my case. I never felt like I... didn't know what was going on, where we were in the process, and what possibly could come next. I am thankful to have had such a great team that helped me.

Excellent Attorney

At my first consultation Steve let me know that we had a 50/50 chance of winning a custody case. I hired him and although it took many months due to court backlog he was able to win the case. He provided excellent support to me. When I had a question I would always get a prompt answer. He personally ...called me to talk about the case. Never have I had such great customer service from any attorney. I hope I never need another attorney, but if I do I will be calling Steve Gilpatrick.

As close to perfect as a professional can get

I was in the midst of a rocky separation from my wife; blindsided seemingly at every corner. With the addition of child and military ties, things complication became the theme of this chapter in my life. During my first encounter with Mr. Gilpatrick, I felt like an idiot after verbalizing my predic...ament. He took what my concerns and inquiries to heart, and helped me to find a voice in the midst of my personal turmoil. I honestly felt he understood and shared my concern (which was the wellbeing of my child), and made that his focus. He took time to help me carve a path in this complicated valley I found myself in; and, with the nicest, well-informed staff, helped get me to a place of calmness. They kept me informed at every end; whether it be email or phone call (from either Mr. Gilpatrick or his staff members). They followed up with me immediately with changes, updates, and options. They appropriately informed me of all of my options (instead of pushing me in a direction that best suits them). They answered all my (random) questions, and got back with me within a reasonable time to verify a response. At the end of it all, I am very satisfied with the outcome of my involvement with the group at this law office, I can't say enough about how professional and personable they are, and could never do enough to adequately thank them for their great service.
