Wonderful office, wonderful lawyer

Newly divorced!! This was a learning experience for me. I trusted all of the staff there and that is very important. We got everything we needed and they helped educate me where I wanted more than I could have concerning custody. Overall, I would hire them again and again.

AMAZING

Steve and Rebecca were both amazing, very responsive to questions. I needed legal assistant after I was already divorce. Steve and Rebecca came in and saved the day all while I was out the country working. I would definitely recommend having them in your corner if you need legal representation.

AMAZING!!

Love Steve and his crew! They are so helpful and really got the job done! I was coming from a toxic marriage and needing to get help financially right away. They did all they could to maximize my help, speed up the process, and he was able to get me everything I needed! Thank you all so much!!

Uncontested Divorce

I first reached out to Steve Girsky in December of 2022 when my husband and I was entertaining the idea of a divorce. I submitted a "free" consultation request from his website and within 24 hours Steve responded and PERSONALLY reached out to me to set up a zoom meeting. He was very understanding and... considerate of my emotions. My husband and I went back in forward for 2 years on trying to work things out. As I went back and forward on at least 3 different occasions reaching out to Steve for guidance. He never once not taken my call, berated me for wasting his time, or ignored me. He was very patient and always provided me with the best possible solution for my situation. Finally, in September 2024 I went all in and officially hired Steve. Prior to hiring him I was a bit concerned about something and I wanted to know if it was best to file Uncontested or Contested based on an asset that I felt that I wanted to fight for, but at the same time I didn't have a lot of money to go back and forwards with a Contested Divorce, especially if I may not win. Steve called me bright and early that morning and explained to me how Court/Judge works when it came to that particular asset and considering it was bought prior to our marriage and was still in my husband's name (even though it was a gift to my daughter) Steve felt that it would be in my best interest to go Uncontested because I wouldn't win just based off those things. After taken Steve advice, I released the asset back to my husband and I immediately felt an overwhelming amount of stress and anxiety lift off my chest. My husband became cooperative with the Divorce, waived his rights to Contest, Appeal and Counsel and signed the papers without any issues. Literally, everything Steve told me would happen, happened. Effective, December 2024 our Divorce will be FINALIZED all within 60 days just as Steve promised. I am so very grateful and thankful for Steve and Rebecca. Thank you!

It can be done

I'm a dad, in the Army, of two boys. I recently got divorced where my ex wife tried a lot of nasty tricks to get custody of the boys. Thanks to Mr. Steve Girsky and his office I got custody of both of my children and my divorce is done. Mr, Girsky and his team will give you great advice on how to nav...igate things as the divorce is on going, will listen to what you want done, and get it done. If I didn't have Mr. Girsky and his team, I do not know if things would have went as well as they did for me. Not only would I recommend him to anyone, I already have recommended him to a friend who is also in the Army. He did well with him. Don't be afraid to ask questions and definitely listen to the advice from him and his team they are absolutely amazing.

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."
