Dignified, Effective and Compassionate Representation

I made the mistake of hiring a large nationally known law firm at the onset of my divorce, a very expensive mistake. After taking some beatings in the legal system, I decided to change my attorney and found Steve Gilpatrick and Brooke, his paralegal. This made all the difference. Steve and Brooke h...ave been practicing law here for a long time. What that meant for me is they were current on all the laws, had seen the history of these laws, how they had been interpreted by the judges, and they had a very keen sense on any upcoming changes with the court system. You will want this in your legal representation. Steve has a strong base in the community and a solid history. Other attorneys have commented on his professionalism in working with him. You want this too. In addition, Steve and Brooke are honorable people. As an Officer in the military that was very important to me. They guided me through the painful process of divorce in a way that I can look back on with respect and my integrity intact. This law firm kept me focused and calm when I wanted to be anything but. They represented me fairly and in a way I respect. I went from a losing streak with the big law firm to a massive win gaining 50% custody of my children. Every father out there knows this is a tremendous victory. Please do yourself the favor of at least getting a consultation, it turned my divorce around.

Uncontested Divorce

I hired Steve to help with my divorce. He's knowledgeable and fair and really helped push an addendum to the paperwork that was already filed with the court and pending a hearing. The judge accepted the additional terms and had the case closed in a matter of days.

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.

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!
