Hero in Your Darkest Hour

When I first contacted Steven, my case seemed to be a simple child support case, but like many things in this life, it turned out to be so much more--it was complicated. I endured 3 years of unpaid child support, unpaid health insurance, visitation disputes, and communication issues, and through all ...that Steve didn't give up on me once. He advised me prudently, and even gave me tough, football-coach-like pep talks when I lost sight of "our" goals. Notice I use the word "our" as I didn't feel alone with Steve by my side--not for a minute. He took my calls and emails without fail and his secretaries and paralegal are the best I've ever seen. Because of Steve, I not only got justice but vindication and comfort--comfort that the laws we have are there for a reason. I would recommend Steve Kaufman to anyone seeking justice for a divorce, separation family, and/or child support issue. He will advise you wisely and fight for your rights wisely and passionately.

Quality Lawyer- no doubt

I have retained Steven as my lawyer for the last 12 years. He represented me through two divorces with children. I could not find a better lawyer even if I tried. Steven is friendly and highly professional. His knowledge and skills show in everything he represents. Regardless of the divorce, Steven a...lways put my kids first and kept me focused on the best resolution. He responds to inquiries and calls expeditiously and precise. He is always punctual. He has the ability to find solutions with the highest level of integrity. No matter the situation, I trust in Steven to provide guidance and the best results.

Excellent Attorney

Mr. Kaufman, Represented me on a number of occasions, all of my experiences were very positive and always felt that Steve provided me with the best outcome. Mr. Kaufman always gave me an honest answer, did not sugar coat, and told it like it was. I always appreciated his candor and frank approach. ...I was represented on a very complex and convoluted case, Steve walked me through the whole process, always answered my phone calls and e-mails. Overall, he’s a subject matter expert, has an astute legal mind, honest, and fair. In a difficult time in my file, he was able to fight for me, and played a pivotal part in winning a case, but most importantly due to his representation, I was able to have a relationship with my child. I will always be grateful to Mr. Kaufman.

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).

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I've known Steven Kaufman for many years. Whenever I have a case with him as opposing counsel I feel good about the process. We are friendly adversaries. I don't have to worry about any unpleasantness or rancor. He is committed to his client and steadfast in his advocacy yet willing to discuss solutions to resolve issues and conflict. He is very accessible and gives his cell phone number on his office voicemail. A good lawyer and a good guy"
