Steven Lee August

I have immense gratitude, respect and appreciation for Steve and Jo. I did not know where to turn when my husband wanted a divorce. Several recommendations pointed one direction: Steve August. In the most trying time of my life, I found great reassurance I was in the best hands possible to handle e...very aspect of my divorce. Steve and Jo guided me in every aspect of this journey. There were so many details to address in my situation - many of them seemed overwhelming and confusing to me. I was reassured knowing Steve would leave no stone unturned. The attention to detail in every aspect of representing me was impeccable - focused, hardworking and driven to reach an outstanding settlement for my future. Both Steve and Jo were always attentive to my questions and concerns making me feel comfortable and reassured I would be ok. They are truly the best. I wish I could leave a 10 star rating.

Steve came recommended on an anonynous source on an internet forum. I'm so glad I called him. He stepped after I decided that the first attorney I hired just wasn't competent. When I hired Steve, the difference was night and day. Steve asks questions to make sure he knows what your concerns are. He e...xplains clearly and concisely what you need to know, how the system works, what the OTHER attorney is probably thinking. Long story short, he knows what he's doing. Also his assistant Jo Ellen is excellent as well. Communication happens quickly and clearly. Steve and Jo allowed me to relax and trust that things were being handled as best they could. Their excellence took a lot of the anxiety about divorce out of the equation for me. My wife's attorney was at a large firm in downtown Cleveland. So was my first attorney. Both of them were (relatively) incompetent especially when compared to Steve. Don't believe that because an attorney is part of a large firm and they have beautiful offices, that this translates into competence. It doesn't. If you want to feel confident that you're getting the best representation available, hire Steve August. He's tough, fair, supremely knowledge, affable, patient, and will always keep you informed as to exactly what's going on. If I could give him 10 stars, I would.

I was referred to Steve by another lawyer and was well-supported throughout the difficult process of divorce. He and his paralegal Jo are honest, straightforward, extremely professional and competent. Steve is well-known and liked in the local courts so you can feel confident that he will be an exc...ellent advocate for you. The divorce process is very challenging but knowing you can trust your lawyer is essential. I highly recommend Steve without reservations.

Getting divorced can be challenging, sad and frustrating, to say the very least. I remember asking around for “the good guy”. I wanted to be fair and yet strong. I wanted to be protected and smart, but to “do the right thing” I knew 28 yrs ago that I married the right person and believed that for a v...ery long time until one day everything changed. The day I decided that I needed to be divorced I knew that I needed someone in m y corner. I needed someone with a soul, not the guy you hear about that takes you for a ride and before you know it, the situation is out of control, both in emotion and cost. Thank God I found Steve. He was everything good I was looking for. He was tough and strong when I needed him to be. He listened when I needed him to listen. He trusted me as I trusted him to do the right thing. Steve is a family man himself so he understood where I was coming from and wanted to help me resolve my exit the right way. He was able to reason with my spouse, something I hadn’t seen anyone do in a long time. He did his job to the final degree. I must say he couldn’t do all of this without his awesome assistant Jo. She was conscientious and finitely detailed. She was kind and supportive. I never thought I would write a review on what a “good outcome” of a divorce would look like, but here I am doing so.. Thank you Steve and Jo. I am grateful that you both know your way and you guided me to where I needed to be in the end. I walked away knowing no matter what that I did the right thing.

Going through a divorce is not easy, to say the least. From the moment I walked into Steve's office, I knew that I was in excellent hands. First and foremost, Steve has your interests are heart. He is brillant, trustworthy, hardworking and dedicated. His para-legal Jo is just as outstanding. The...ir teamwork makes the process run as smoothly as possible. There is no else that can do a better job.
