Steven and Rebecca handled my divorce several years ago, so when a new found custody battle came up, I found it fitting to go there, since they created the original agreement.
I have to say, first and foremost, that Rebecca's communication is exemplary! She responded promptly at every whim I had, and normally in a very cordial manner. She was honest and forthcoming, and all though not the best at comforting, she made sure that I understood both sides of everything. I would not trade her for anyone to be my primary POC for my case.
Secondly, when my first court date came, I found out that Steven himself wouldn't be present, even though he was the original attorney paid for (things happen, I get it). John stepped in for court and showed up 4 minutes late, thankfully the judge was running behind, but we had little time to go over last minute details. I felt that John's goal was to force me to settle the case in favor of the opposition. He often spoke with the opposing attorney in the presence of my ex but not me, so I was not privy to the attorney discussions but the other party was, and was able to give input. This was infuriating. From the most honest of my heart, he seemed to have been walked all over and bullied by the other, very intimidating I will admit, attorney. This caused me to be very unhappy with the outcome because what I had told him would happen if I agreed to something, indeed happened when he assured me it would not.
After the first court appearance, when I let them know of my displeasure, my needs were much better met and I couldn't be more happy with the course of time and their efforts after that. If not for the day of court itself, I would absolutely rate them as 5 stars.
Thank you so much for all of your help!
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.
You are a terrible attorney. You only cost me the initial fee, plus about $600.00 dollars a month, simply because you are too lazy to read emails or actually represent your clients.
Good luck people. Hire him if you want.
Unless your case handles itself, you're probably going to lose a lot financially, emotionally, and family wise. Do you want him on here disclosing your personal information? Think about it.
My case was was far from the normal divorce, but his paralegal helped me through this high-stress time of my life. She explained things the way that I could easily understand. It’s obvious why she is Mr. Girsky’s right hand gal!
While in court (several times), Mr. Girksy was well prepared to argue my side every time!! I didn’t get the exact outcome that I expected, but as new facts emerged, Mr. Girksy helped to prepare me for the possible outcomes that may happen so that I wouldn’t be blind sided.
If I need an attorney in the future, this office will be the first that I call!
7 months after my divorce I had to call up Steven Girskys office for a copy of my divorce decree. Was told by the receptionist that I would get it in an Email 30 min from the time I called. It has been 2 weeks since I called and time is up.
I could spill my guts about how he didn't show up for Mediation. Could even state how the lawyer that went in his place told me to give up custody because as a guy I wouldn't win in the court system there.
If you want someone to take your money and sign papers. This office is for you. If you want a lawyer that will actually fight for you and keep you informed and up to date on whats going on? Look somewhere else.
