The Best!!

I wanted to take a moment and thank Steven Gilpatrick and his entire staff for the extremely professional manner in which you handled my divorce. Your advice, manner and patience were exemplary throughout the process. I was impressed with counsel along the way and especially the way you presented my ...cases in court. Thank you, and I highly recommend!

Thankful Father

My family hired the Gilpatrick law firm two years ago to address medical, educational, and custodial concerns regarding my teenage daughter. I have a very complex and complicated case that has dealt with years of severe parental alienation and involved numerous agencies, such as doctors, social wor...kers, school officials, and therapists. Gilpatrick and his team addressed the numerous moving parts in my case and proved my concerns to the court which acknowledged and addressed the years of alienation done by my ex. This allowed for modification of custody and the full custodial rights of my daughter. I was able to get her back in school full time (making great grades), healthy, and most importantly, I'm able to rebuild my relationship with my daughter.

Awesome atty!

Steve was referred to me after several attempts of trying to get my grand child. He was very confident, straightforward and a no nonsense Atty. This is exactly what we needed! I would highly recommend Steve and his staff to anyone who needs someone on their side to fight for justice on their sid...e. Thank you Steve for all you’ve done!

Excellent Attorney! Great Communicator AND Listener!

Steven Gilpatrick was referred to me by a client/friend of mine. I'm glad I listened to her advice. Steven was professional, yet personable. He was patient and listened attentively, answering all of my questions, and then some. He was informative and clearly knowledgeable and experienced, and thoroug...h. During my Mediation, he was the Advocate I needed in my corner. I am truly impressed with his work, as well as with Brooke, his paralegal and Bria. While I hope to never need his services again, I will always strongly recommend him to everyone that needs a great divorce attorney. I could not be more pleased!

Craziest case

Steve and his amazing team assisted me through the craziest two years of my life when I was dealing with a divorce case, Dcf case, dependency case, and custody case, all which played out over about 27 hearings. When I first met Steve I had 13 open Dcf investigations, a false domestic violence injunct...ion, and was paying an exorbitant amount of child support. Things were looking as if I was gonna lose my kids for something I didn’t do. It was not your normal case and there was a lot of eyes in the system on us during he proceedings. I was always proud and never disappointed in his court room showings. There was many times when I got emotional he helped me keep my eyes on prize. After an insane court battle over the two years, one which took its toll on me emotionally, physically, and even financially to the point I wanted to give up multiple times, Steve and his crew helped me stay the course. Under Steves counsel I was found not guilty in the domestic violence, injunction, all 13 Dcf cases found no indicators, and my kids were even sheltered by Dcf from the false accuser. With tears I can say that just last month I was awarded custody of my children by the courts. And my battle is over. It’s all due to the perseverance of Steve Gilpatrick and company. Thank you for believing in me and bringing truth to light.
