Enthusiastically Recommended

After consultations with several recommended attorneys, I chose Steve because of his calm demeanor, clarity and attentiveness; I know now that made a very good choice. It is with great gratitude that I write this review, enthusiastically recommending this good man as an advocate, should you have the... misfortune of needing a divorce. Steve and his kind, competent paralegal, Jo Ellen, very patiently supported and guided me through times of fear and confusion, answering my many questions as I processed through my divorce. I am eternally grateful to both of them. Steve remained calm and respectful at all times— to everyone; his respectful manner is constant and noteworthy. His steady peacefulness kept me calm and gave me confidence, knowing that he was in my corner. Steve is an intelligent strategist who is focused and dedicated to his client’s best interests; his attention to detail and evident effort in preparation are sublime and translate to a favorable outcome in court. As I watched him work on the day of my trial, it was clear that Steve loves what he does and he does it very well. I was stunned and pleasantly surprised with the outcome of my divorce--I never expected such generously positive results! Thank you, Steve, for advocating for me.

A blessing during the most trying time of my life

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.

Finance Manager

Steve and Jo (his secretary) have been the best money spent during my divorce. They both guided me along the way and made the whole process go great. Words cant describe what they did for me. If you want a lawyer to go to battle for you, who is on your side Steve is the best. He is worth every pe...nny I paid and more. He is competitive and wants to win for you. Best attorney, hands down. Cant say enough.

Excellent Advocate

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.

Honest, straight forward and sincere

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.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have known Steve for about 10 years and shared office space with him for about 5. He is smart, aggressive when he needs to be, dedicated to his clients, on top of matters, well respected by the courts and opposing counsel. He is a straight shooter who I would hire in a second if I needed services of a domestic relations attorney. I refer clients to him regularly and all feedback I get from them has been great."
