Mr. Girsky

Mr. Girsky and Mrs. Keller did a fantastic job helping me gain custody of my children. I was sent updates and copies of court documents as submitted. Communication was mostly through email but I always received timely responses. The front desk was always helpful when I called or showed up to sign doc...uments. My ex went all out to get custody, I wont get into details but it was super crazy, Mr. Girsky was still able to settle everything at mediation.

Hands down the BEST!

Hands down the BEST family law attorney and team! I honestly can't praise this team enough. Rebecca Keller kept us updated every step of the way and immediately contacted me back anytime I emailed her about my case (even on weekends!). Steven Girsky was such a delightful* professional and took time t...o prepare us before court.

Literally the best!

I hired Steve Girsky for a family custody case back in February of 2017, hiring him was the best decision I could have made. From the beginning he was very open, honest & professional about the process and all that would take place. His team worked extremely hard and made myself as well as my famil...y feel confident do to the circumstances. Last year my daughter's father got in a car accident with my 7 year old daughter in the back seat . He fled the scene after the car flipped and crashed. Drugs were found in his car as well as other illegal items while driving on a revoked drivers license. During my consultation with Steve he told me if your child’s father was fleeing from the scene of an accident and left your daughter with injuries, that indeed was no accident. On that day I hired him and nothing but consistency, and hard work. Anything I needed from questions, to paperwork he was always prepared. His paralegal Becky was awesome, she kept me updated with our case throughout the entire process and was very responsive to emails and phone calls. His whole team was very supportive and worked together for a successful outcome. Not only was I awarded full custody of my daughter but when I️ explained to Mr. Girsky my husband had orders to relocate out of state I was worried that our case was to intense and I would not be able to relocate with my family as a whole. Steve and his team made it happen that happen as well. They helped me keep my family together. The whole process was so intense and at times felt hopeless. Steve handled it all, he fought for my family like no other. He always asked for my feedback, before proceeding with anything. I am beyond grateful to Mr. Girsky and his representation of my case. He has truly been a blessing to my family.

The best choice in my divorce and child custody case

I absolutely recommend Steve, and I will continue to work with him should I have any further issues with my ex-husband. Steve and his staff proved to be the best choice to help me through a difficult divorce and child custody battle. Steve is the type of attorney willing to fight for exactly what he ...believes his clients deserve. My ex-husband is manipulative, controlling, and in general, very difficult to deal with. Steve and Becky took on the challenge and did whatever was necessary, continually going above and beyond my expectations. They were both available to answer questions and deal with any issues that arose quickly. Becky did an excellent job of keeping me updated on the status of my case, as well as contacting opposing counsel when necessary. After almost a year and a half of fighting to get my ex to cooperate, I was granted the primary residential parent designation, was awarded a percentage of my ex-husband’s retirement, and also received an award of attorney’s fees. There is no doubt that the outcome in this case is a direct result of the work and skill Steve and Becky both bring to the table. Thanks guys!

Don't gamble on any other attorney

Mr. Girsky and his legal team and Becky his paralegal went above and beyond to not only represent me but to also keep me informed and educated along the way about everything with my case. Mr. Girsky is a very personable attorney as he does not just work for you or on your case , he generally cares ab...out his clients and applies his knowledge and years of experience to represent you. Divorce and custody related issues are overwhelming to deal with and if you want to have piece of mind and confidence that your attorney will fight for you and have your back then Mr. Girsky is the best option for legal representation , do not gamble on any other legal team as this is one of the biggest challenges you will face in your lifetime.

Jessica Levine

Divorce and separation lawyer | May 01

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have had the pleasure of getting to Steven Girsky and Rebecca Keller, and others in the firm. The first time I walked into their office, they had never heard of me. I was not an attorney who normally practiced in their county. They had never heard of me. I was just some stranger with a bar card. I was treated with graciousness when they own me only basic propriety. If that doesn't say everything you need to know about the character of Steven Girsky, his paralegal, and everyone else in that firm, then you need to read this again. That was several years ago and I have had several cases with Girsky since then. As opposing counsel, I can expect Girsky to make my job HARD. Because, no matter how much he may like his opposing counsel, I have never known him to let that get in the way of being an unwavering advocate for his clients. When asked for a recommendation in Montgomery County, I recommend Girsky. If I needed an attorney, he'd be my only call."
