Good straight forward, no nonsense attorney

I used Steve for a child custody case. To put it short, my ex wife was attempting to alter our time sharing schedule and my contribution towards his child support. My ex was attempting to do this by making erroneous accusations. I went to Steve in a panic mode. Steve in a blunt fashion explai...ned my options in the case. Steve gave me time to dictate my position. Steve took his time the day before our court date to review the facts. Everything went well in court. Actually, later on everything went so smooth that I ended up getting exactly what I wanted as far as time sharing with my son. Things went even further when Steve was able to reverse my child custody payments to nothing! In fact, my ex owed me child support! Steve gave me his cellular phone number which made him available whenever I needed him. He made it a point to keep me informed about my case and he would even let me know when he was going on vacation. I appreciate Steve because he wouldn't feed me B.S. that I wanted to hear. He wouldn't allow me to waste my time and money pursuing things that he knew wouldn't work in court. Thanks Steve (and company).

A hard fought child custody case

I hired Mr. Kaufman 3 yrs ago to help my son on his child custody battle, I would tell you this lawyer has what it takes to get things done, a well prepare and extremly knowledgeable on Family division matters lawyer. Steve always kept my son and I informed on all procedings. One thing about a lawyer... is being up-front, their an old saying that if a lawyer tells you "dont worry this is in the bag" run away he is no good, but Mr. Kaufman was always honest and vigilant. WE WON A CASE in Dade county (Miami) Mr. Kaufman was well documented and did not stop at anything to obtained the proper evidence to ensure SUCCESS,fought for the truth to come out and feriously litigated our case. I highly recommend his service for any case, he has my confidence, my vote and my for ever friendship.

The # 1 Family Lawyer in Miami !!!

I am very grateful to have met Steven and it was an absolute blessing to have had him represent me during a difficult time. Since our initial meeting, he was always responsive and attentive. I felt that he was genuinely interested in protecting my rights. Mr. Kaufman is a true professional, he always... kept me well informed and there was never a question he did not know the answer to. I was always able to reach him if I needed to speak to him, even after hours or on weekends. I always received prompt replies to all my e-mails. At my mediation and my hearings, he always arrived on time, was prepared and thoroughly knowledgeable about my case. I felt truly safe and protected with him in my corner. Clearly, Mr. Kaufman is the best at what he does and I highly recommend him as the #1 Family Attorney in Miami.

One of the Best in Miami

Attorney Steven Kaufman, handled My Divorce, and I was extremely pleased. He is an excellent divorce and family lawyer. He treats everyone with respect, and has a high level of integrity. He was always very accessible via his mobile phone. His fees were very reasonable, and never overcharged me in an...y way.

One of the Best in SFLA

I have used Mr. Kaufman for several years now for a child support matter. Let me first state that IMHO Mr. Kaufman is without a doubt one of the best family court attorneys anywhere. He always returns my calls. He cuts through the legalese and explains all matters completely. He always returns ca...lls. He's always available for questions. When I first sought him out he was vacationing in Italy!!! Yet, he returned my call within 5 minutes. I really feel as if I have the perfect advocate for my position. Above all he tells me the bottom line. Always on-time, Always prepared. My outcomes have been 100% in my favor. His familiarity with "The System" and all the personnel involved is also a great asset to have in my corner. Simply, one of the best I have ever dealt with.
