Grandmother

I hire Steve Girsky the first time I me him, He very easy to talk to than other. He did the child custody and adoption for me. It was fast and reasonably price.

Steve Girsky is amazing!

My husband and I worked with Steve Girsky for a step parent adoption, he was amazing and went above and beyond for my family and helping my husband to be able to adopt my daughter. I recommend him to anyone going through the same situation. He’s an amazing person and lawyer! We will definitely use hi...m again if ever needed.

Great lawyer

I worked with Mr. Girsky 2 years ago to adopt my stepdaughters. He was easy to talk to, caring and still continues to answers questions when I email him. He does not talk down to me and is understanding of my concerns. I'd recommend him to anyone!

Excellent team!

I can’t thank Steve and Rebecca enough for what they did for us. Although I did not use Steve for my divorce (I absolutely should have because I overpaid way too much for my divorce lawyer and she wasn’t nearly as confident or experienced) I am so glad I chose him for my termination/adoption/relocati...on case. I had my initial consultation with Steve about possibly changing my current parenting plan but it wasn’t for months later I actually went back to him. When I went back I told him my circumstances about relocating and the lack of support and visitation their bio dad displayed. In my head I wondered about terminating his rights but hadn’t said it yet and Steve put out on the table and I was relieved. From then on it was honestly as smooth as it could be. He offered to let us make payments and he and Rebecca communicated every step of the way. We started with mediation that was not settled and then a court hearing for termination and relocation. The adoption/termination was pushed to a later date because my ex’s mother bought him a lawyer the day before court but our relocation was granted literally right before our military orders said we had to be there. Steve and Rebecca filed motions and worked so hard to make sure we were in court before we had to report to Michigan and it paid off. We truly had the best case scenario happen to us but Steve and Rebecca were not shy of what could happen as well. The were honest with all possible outcomes but were incredibly supportive and optimistic. From our date in August until our adoption hearing in March we have lived in Michigan and you would never know we lived in a different state. I can’t say enough about their communication and availability at any time. I would use them anytime I needed a lawyer if I could. Absolutely the best experience for what started out as bad situation. Thank you Steve and Rebecca!!

Super grateful for this firm!

I first hired Steve as my divorce attorney and after a satisfying ending to an exhausting battle, I truly appreciated all that Steve and Rebecca did for me through my case. When problems with my ex starting happening a couple years later, I knew just the people to call and once again, they helped me ...every step of the way. Rebecca is so attentive and quick to reply to any questions I contact her with, and Steve always helped soothe any concerns I had and put me at ease throughout my battles. They keep you up to speed and informed the whole time and send you any documents they generate related to your case. This is definitely the most professional and caring law firm you can choose!

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."
