Steven John Gilpatrick

I sought him out for my divorce case as he came highly recommended by my friend. Quickly realized he likes to talk over people, which never made me feel heard when I had questions. My friend apologized and stated that wasn't at all how he was with her. Well, I'm divorced now and mostly left confused.... It would be too soon before I paid him to represent me again.

I hired Steven to represent me, as the biological and primary parent of my child, in a high conflict co-parenting situation. The other party hired Aaron Wentz (whom endorses Steven on this platform). It is apparent to me now that Steven and Aaron tricked me into signing a Stipulated Timesharing Agree...ment when the father in this case used my estranged and abusive ex-husband and mother as "witnesses" of the fathers character vs. mine. The father had recently made acquaintances with these people to use against me in court. Steven made me feel fearful that the judge would consider testimony of these witnesses, without any sufficient proof. Steven did not represent me and my child, but instead, took advantage of a single mother.

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.

Steve was only worried about billing me and not winning my case. My wife's lawyer took him to town on our first round of paper work. He did not advise me according to the law. I only found this out once I switched lawyers because his staff had such poor customer service. So I wasted $3500 for him to ...do nothing. Steve is a smooth talker but can't back it up. Don't waste your money.

I hired gilpatrick for my divorce and child custody. He assured me I had nothing to lose with my ex husbands arrest records, child abuse cases and after not seeing his son for years. I put forth $11,000 and he kept asking for more and more. Contact got less and less. I ended up losing custody of my s...on mostly due to his will to not fight for what's right because 11,000 just wasn't enough. He told me upon meeting him he played golf with my judge and not to worry there was no way I would lose my son. Yet reality he should of said if you keep giving me money you won't lose your son.
