Steven David Kaufman

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).

Mr. Kaufman handled my recent divorce case, needless to say initially the process was a nightmare and extremely stressful. However, after sitting down with Mr. Kaufman and retaining him in my case things began to get better exponentially. He provided me with the information I was looking for and ar...med me with the tools to get the best possible outcome in my case. He was honest, sometimes he didn't give me the answers I WANTED to hear but instead the answers I NEEDED to hear. He spoke confidently and eloquently during all hearing and having practiced many years in the state of Florida has built a relationship of professional respect between himself and many mediators/judges. Many times during my case was he praised for the quality of his legal council. I highly recommend Mr. Kaufman in both matters of domestic violence and divorce. Be prepared to hear the truth, be prepared to have information you thought was pertinent thrown in the trash, and be prepared to make compromise in your case. I received a marital agreement of 50/50 unprejudiced custody with minimal child support due to disparity in pay and no alimony. In closing I'd also like to add he treated my ex wife with respect and made the situation run much more smoothly, he also was non confrontational with opposing council and ended up coming together to reach the final agreement during mediation. Thanks again Steven!

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.

I walked in to Steven’s office knowing that it was to be a long journey on a difficult case. Steven gave me his famous line, “I can’t guarantee anything but I will be honest with you”. He was 100% honest with me. I presented him with my case and never up charged me on anything. Every time I called hi...s office he answered me and if he wasn’t in or busy he called me right back. He has an amazing team led by Lisette who treat you with care and understanding. I knew going into his office that I was going to be leaving South Florida and going across the country. This made me feel as if the distance would make it difficult to speak or Steven handle my case. The distance was not an issue. Either Steven or Lisette called me, emailed or left messages for me. I felt that I was the difficult one to reach and get back to Steven instead of the other way around. In the end once the case was settled, he didn’t guarantee anything to me. What he did do for me was win my case and although it was an investment on my behalf, I got more than what I paid for.

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.
