Efficient Results

My husband and I utilized Steve’s services for a step-parent adoption. Everything we could control, went swift and Steve’s team was quick to act. They explained everything thoroughly to us and were supportive. It meant a lot to have Steve’s team on our side and knew that they were advocating for us a...s much as possible. Everything went so well and I am very pleased with our service. Steve worked with us to set up a payment plan so the cost did not feel as overwhelming. I would recommend anyone who is needing services that Steve’s team can handle!

Extremely dedicated to his clients

Highly recommend Steve and his team. I have been using them for my very contested divorce/custody case that has been active for almost 3 years. Every paralegal I have worked with has been professional and prompt with replies. They have all made sure every question is answered and understood whenever ...a problem came up. Even when we thought we reached a conclusion just to have my ex restart by filling an appeal Steve has never given up on my case. Thank you, team!

BEST in town

I can honestly say Steve and his senior paralegal are the hardest, dedicated team I have ever seen. They not only work hard but they actually listen to your concerns. I hired Steve in 2016 for my divorce. Since then I’ve been dragged in and out of court through my ex husband. This last one went to th...e court of appeals. With a victory at EVERY court case and now a victory at the Court of Appeals in Nashville, Girsky Law Office is #1 in my books. Thank you so much!!

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.

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."

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
