Steve was a warrior! Steve was so professional and knowledgeable. His entire staff was amazing, they lead me through the darkness into light. They all are so calm and yet fought like warriors for me. This team is tenacious while still remaining ethical. I am blessed to always have him in my corner!

My lawyer and I didn't have the best start at first but he has since worked with me to understand what I need better and is helping me with my divorce.

Steven Girsky and the legal aid Rebecca were hands down the most professional and understanding. Having to deal with my ex-spouse over child custody issues was by far the worst period of my life. I honestly would not of wanted to deal with me as a client. They explained to my options and what I had to do to fix the situations. I would advise that you trust Steve and his staff to do their job. Definitely keeping him on call!

My initial contact with Steven and his law firm in 2014/2015 wasn't such a great experience. His paralegal at the time was very rude and dismissive. I have upgraded my review because recently I had to reach out to Steve and his firm for some information from a case that was closed in 2015. Steve and the firm were very accommodating and responded quickly to the request from my new attorney. Mr. Girsky responded, gave valid and clear information, corroborated facts and extended his hand for any further help that may be needed. I have been able to reach out on multiple occasions and the new office aid is prompt and helpful.

So here's the deal. Even as an attorney, I was once guilty of judging an attorney and their firm by their client. I made this mistake once, and it was with Steven Girsky and his paralegal Rebecca Keller. I had yet to meet them but I was not fond of the idea of them because I didn't like their client (the opposing party in my case). But, here's the deal. I was wrong. So wrong. I'm sure I called that office 20 times in one week, making demands about things I wanted their client to do or stop doing on behalf of my client. And guess what? I always got a response. After a few weeks, I walked into the office, figurative guns loaded about something their client had allegedly done and was met with smiles. I was treated with kindness and respect. 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.
Because that the case was such a long, drawn out mess, I had the pleasure of getting to Steven Girsky and Rebecca Keller, and many others who work in the firm. I was never met with anything but graciousness when they owned 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. I discovered Steven Girsky to be an attorney of integrity, who fiercely advocates for his clients. And obviously, everyone in that office was wiser than I, because they didn't seem to have made any judgements about me based on their impression of my client. That was several years ago and I have had several cases with Girsky since then.
In fact, if a potential client calls me and announces that the other party has retained Girsky, I jump at the chance to take the case. Why? Well, he may be a badass lawyer and a seriously tough adversary in Court, but I know that his firm will always treat me and my client with respect and always, always offer professional courtesies when they can. This is everything.
I am a family law attorney. In my opinion, nobody ever wins a divorce and there is never a win when it comes to splitting up time with your children. But, I have to say, when anyone asks me for a recommendation in Montgomery County, Steven Girsky is the only name I give. Why? Because who I send someone to also reflects upon me. And I know that if I send a person to Steven Girsky, I am sending them to the best.
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. So, when someone I recommended to Girsky mentioned some questionable reviews, I had to see for myself.
I can't speak for unhappy opposing parties or anyone else on the internet. I can only speak to my own experience and to the entire community of Montgomery County attorneys, none of which have ever had an unkind word to say about Steven Girsky or anyone who works for him, despite some of them having "lost" to him in Court.
Finally, if you take nothing else from this review, take this with you: If I needed an attorney, he'd be my only call.
