The Law Offices of Mirshak & Smith -- practicing in Georgia and South Carolina -- was established by Timothy S. Mirshak in 1978 as a firm engaged in the general practice of law. Over the years our office has developed a wide ranging practice in the areas of family law, personal injury and medical malpractice litigation and real estate. Our office has evolved over many years into a firm whose principal focus are the areas of family law, including divorce, child custody and litigation involving complex financial and property division issues. We continue to actively practice in the areas of personal injury and medical malpractice; wills, probate and guardianship; and real estate litigation. The success of our office has been built one client at a time as we do not historically advertise. We enjoy referrals from a wide ranging base of clients and attorneys in the states of Georgia and South Carolina. While the firm is dedicated to advancing the interests of our clients effectively and efficiently, the attorneys and staff are always aware that these legal issues are often emotionally charged and never easy. Therefore, the attorneys attempt to approach those resolutions with compassion, understanding and common sense solutions. Our approach is to do what is necessary to help our clients bring resolution to what is often a person's first experience with the judicial system during one of the most difficult periods of their life. Mr. Mirshak is fond of repeating the words of a seminar speaker many years ago that the "legal system should to the extent possible add no additional emotional pain or harm to the people going through a divorce or child custody matter than is otherwise necessary." That approach requires assisting clients, to the extent possible, in utilizing a non-adversarial approach and focusing on those issues and facts that the legal system can address in helping people move forward to get past these difficult times
