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.

Confidence in the court room with Steve Kaufman

There is not enough space for me to express my gratitude for my attorney Steve Kaufman. I tend to ramble and my communications are usually long. Eventually Steve would ask me to keep it short and to the point which is a testament to how well he got to know his client. I got divorced in 2008 and st...eve was not my attorney who handled my divorce. I was emotional mess and made many mistakes in 2008 since I did not anticipate that the person I loved for 15 years could present so many challenges after our divorce. I quickly realized that simple things needed to be clearified in my maritial divorce settlement agreement and that my divorce did not end when it was signed by the judge. I have 4 kids and I could not even begin to explain all the issues that I ecountered the following 6 years. I decided to choose an attorney that would give me the time to feel my pain and emotions and guide me thru my legal issues. Steve has helped me with restraining orders against myself, my ex wife new husband. He has guided me with court appointed guardian ad liedems. He has helped me with issues regarding my children and how they each individually handled the divorce and all the mistakes their parents made. Steve Kaufman is my firend and you need not search any further for an attorney. I have met him on weekends at coffee shops. I even spent a Saturday morning at his house preparing for court (I did bring bagels, lox and white fish). Steve has amazing court room presence and clearly out performs the opposing counsel. He is patient in the court room and does not allow his clients emotions to interfere with his professionalism. I made every mistake a client could make. Steve even sat me down and gave me a choice to follow his advise or choose another atorney. That day was a reflection on my emotioins and a poor decsion on my part. You can choose a large firm with 40 atorneys or you can make the best decsion of your life during this difficult time and have Steve Kaufman in your corner. He is a good man, professional, spiritual and tenative to his clients emotions. I have cried with him. I have celebrated with him. I have trusted him with my life and my childrens future. Best choice I ever made. Did I mention he is extremely reasonable with his rates. I should also be honest about what was not always perfect. This statement is more about setting the expectation. You will not be his only client. There are times that your emotions are high and you want to speak to Steve immediately. I was the pain in the ass client who called 5 times a day. For the most most part he always called me back even while on vacation. Get my point! I did learn over the years to respect that he is in court and has other clients. I hope none of you have a divorce as difficult as mine was. But I do have peace with my ex-wife now. But that can change as it has in the past. Some of you will be lucky and your divorce will not be an issue after it is signed. You have a much better chance if you choose my friend Steve Kaufman

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.

"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"
