Best of the best lawyer in town

I had an excellent experience working with my lawyer Mr. Steven Girsky and his paralegal Ms. Rebecca Keller on my children’s custody case. From the very beginning, they showed genuine care, professionalism, and a deep understanding of the emotional and legal complexities involved in custody matters. ... Mr. Girsky  was knowledgeable, strategic, and always kept my children’s best interests at the center of every decision. He explained each step of the process clearly, made sure I understood my options, and advocated strongly on my behalf. I always felt like I was in capable hands. His paralegal Ms. Rebecca was equally impressive—organized, responsive, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. She made sure all documents were handled promptly, kept communication flowing smoothly, and was always available to answer questions or provide reassurance during stressful moments. Together, they made a difficult situation much more manageable. I truly appreciate their dedication, compassion, and professionalism. I would highly recommend this team to anyone dealing with child custody issues.

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!

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!

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."
