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!

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.

Amazing

If your looking for an attorney who truly cares and who’s professional this is the one. We recently completed an adoption with Mr Girsky. I do not regret selecting him for our process. It was fast, reasonably priced, and most importantly they keep you informed every step of the way. I would highly re...commend Mr Girsky for your family needs.

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!

Wonderful experiance

This was our first time working with a lawyer. We couldn't be happier to have found Steve Girsky! He was with us every step of the way with our adoption. Our adoption was a little challenging and had a few bumps along the way. Steve reassured us and kept a positive outlook the whole time. His office ...staff is nothing but friendly. All forms of communications are responded to quickly. We are a family of 3 thanks to Steve and his team. I would highly recommend Steve Girsky and his staff to help you with your legal needs.

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."
