Excellent lawyer with a phenomenal team!

Steve & his entire team went above & beyond for my family. Becky is a phenomenal paralegal & an asset to this law firm. My consultation was thorough. I was given a realistic expectation of what could be done & cost was upfront & very reasonable. I have hired this law firm on more than one occasion mo...st recently for an adoption. Steve is an experienced lawyer & doesn't back down in the courtroom. Communication was always prompt & thorough. Any questions I've ever had & what to do next was always handled as if they read my mind. Steve is always a step ahead. You will always have my business. I appreciate everything you, Becky, & your team have done for my family. I truly can not thank you all enough! Thank you for being a part of one of the happiest days of our lives!

Best Attorney and Legal Staff I've ever seen

I met Steve and Becky over 5 years ago when my now ex-wife filed for divorce while I was deployed to Afghanistan. They were able to protect me from her initial onslaught even though I was thousands of miles away. They were there for me through a very bitter divorce and subsequent child custody battle... where my ex refused to honor the Parenting Schedule. They were able to get me 50/50 custody of my little girl right after the divorce (which dads don't normally get here.). After 5 years of protecting me from countless unfounded criminal and civil accusations from an ex who only wants leverage to get full custody of our daughter, I'm happy to say that I am now the primary parent with majority custody. And my little girl thriving. This wouldn't have happened without Steve and Becky being by my side through everything. I'm not gonna lie; there were some dark, painful moments during this ordeal. And I know this long road won't end until my little girl is an adult. It gives me peace of mind knowing that I have the best team in town beside me all the way.

I made the best choice ever!!!

Steve and his staff were excellent, they guided me through every step of a very difficult divorce. I even received reply to emails on the weekend. Steve was very professional and was always one step ahead of anything that came up. Rebecca not only helped me through the process she encouraged me and m...ade me stand up for myself. I can’t thank them enough.

Modification of Parenting Plan

After a very complicated divorce in another state, I hired Mr. Girsky to alter our parenting plan and could not have been more satisfied with the services provided. We had emergency situations, mediation, and a court hearing that were extremely difficult for me. Even the Judge was not certain that ...the mess of a parenting plan was legally enforceable. Mr. Girsky is extremely knowledgeable and fast on his feet. We will absolutely use him and recommend his office to anyone in an unfortunate situation that requires legal assistance.

Divorce Attorney

Steve Girsky and his firm assisted me with my divorce in a timely and professional manner and would use this firm in the future if needed. Steve and the firm worked with me diligently with my divorce issues to get me the best results they could and I am happy with what they assisted me in getting in ...return. I reside in Arizona and the divorce took place in Tennessee and because of the distance and time difference it still caused no issues as they worked with me and my schedule without any issues. I am pleased to have hired Steve and his firm for my divorce and would recommend them to anyone seeking legal advice for a divorce. I would use them for any legal matter in the future if the need arises and would recommend the same for anyone in that area, or at least give them a chance to see what they have to offer for your case or legal matter. Thank you all from the Steve Girsky firm.

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."
