Very helpful

Steve and Rebecca were both amazing, very responsive to questions I had an issues that came up during the divorce process. I would definitely recommend having them in your corner if you need legal representation.

Review

Steve and his team were very helpful in settling my divorce. They made everything very understanding and helped me with anything I needed. Any time I contacted them they always answered back in a timely manner. Everyone I encountered was very friendly and professional

Won my case while stationed out of state because of Steve.

I was going through a divorce with my ex who lives in Kentucky while I currently live out of state. During the mediation, you can immediately tell his name carries weight in and out of the court room. He is very polite, attentive, and firm in what you're trying to achieve. If I didn't hire Steve and... his team, I don't think joint custody or even visitation would have been on the table. I got everything that I needed during my time and his services fall nothing short of amazing. If you're dealing with someone unruly or demanding, do yourself a favor and call Steve. His presence alone makes other attorneys think twice about what their client is asking for, they know he would not go down without a fight in the court room.

There is no better legal service in Tennessee.

I cannot say enough good things about Steve and his paralegal, Becky. I came back from Afghanistan a broken man. My ex-wife filed for divorce while I was injured in the hospital, and she had refused me contact with our daughters for months. Steve and Becky helped get my girls back in my life. That is... worth more than all the money in the world. Over time, I went from having visitation every other weekend and no parental rights to having primary custody and full decision making. Do you know how hard that is for a father to do? It was an uphill battle all the way, but Steve and Becky never left my side. They believed in me when I didn't believe in myself. Now my girls are in a much better place, emotionally, and I owe it all to Steve and Becky. They have been there for me for almost a decade, and I know they will be here for me through the bad times that are still to come.

Goes Above & Beyond

I don't even know how to begin to thank Steve and his paralegal Rebecca. My husband is a US Army Veteran who they helped him get primary custody back for his daughter back in 2019. A father being awarded custody was huge. They jumped through hurdles for us. We have not had it easy and battling my hus...bands ex all along the way. We have just wanted peace in our home since the divorce in 2014 and many times peace has not surrounded us. We entered into another court case in 2023 to try and relocate his child to Texas where our family resides. We knew it was going to be tough with the other parent still residing here as however, they were so willing to help us with the relocation. We honestly had no idea which way our case would go or how the Judge would respond. However, even though we had been in and out of court so many times over the years, we were ready to tackle this one. Steve and his team were extremely helpful, constantly communicating, and held our hand every step. We can excitedly say we won our case and got the relocation with is daughter! We couldn't be happier and will always recommend Steve and Becky!! They are truly a God send and one of the best Lawyer teams in Clarksville!

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."
