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.

Fabulous!!!

I was going to get a divorce and went to meet with Steve to discuss the situation. He listened and made some suggestions and I hired him that day!!! Steve is a great attorney who tells it like it is and I loved that. He was honest, which was such a blessing. I may not always like what he said but I ...knew he had my best interest at heart and was looking out for me. Our case had so many unknowns, as Steve said, he didn’t want us going to court and possibly losing everything so he helped us come to a settlement. I felt he truly cared about me and was doing everything he could to help me. Brooke is one in a million and she and Steve work incredibly well together. She always took the time to address any question or concern I had no matter how silly it was. I am so thankful for both of them and how they handled my case. I said it is weird not talking to them or seeing them anymore, so I will have to go by and visit. Thank you Steve and Brooke for being such professional, caring, honest and kind people. I will always recommend them!

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!

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.
