The most painless divorce in history.

Divorce is a difficult decision to make. I interviewed Mr. August three years before I sent in the retainer to actually begin my divorce. That said, he was very understanding, especially with domestic violence issues. He made me feel safe and protected. He knows the law and was more available than I ...expected. And, his paralegal, Jo Ellen can calm your anxiety by just hearing her dear voice when she answers the phone. My case was difficult and Steven navigated the law in my favor with vigor. Steven is polite powerhouse.

Steve August Is The Best!

Steve August is a very knowledgeable, dedicated and compassionate family law attorney. He represented me in a very complicated divorce which ended as a dissolution. It was only a 4-year marriage, but it involved a young child and a significant amount of assets, including a business. Steve negotiated... extremely well to get me everything that I deserved and more. In addition, I was dealing with a very abusive ex-husband so the proceedings were very difficult and emotional. Steve and his paralegal Jo Ellen, showed compassion and empathy, while keeping me focused on the end goal. Steve was also incredibly considerate and mindful of keeping my attorney fees down to a minimum. I am very grateful for what Steve and Jo Ellen have done for me. They have restored my dignity, and I am definitely in a much better place in my life because of them.

Professional & caring

So, the decision was made, I'm getting a divorce. What is the next step? Walking into to the office of Steve August was the best decision I've made. It was not an easy time in my life, but with the help of this amazing and caring attorney, and his secretary, I could see the light at the end of th...e tunnel. From the first meeting till the last day (the final court day) he had given me the best advice, and received the best results I could ever dream of. I would definitely recommend him, because he is not only the best at what he does, he is also a mensch!!!!

Couldn't have asked for better lawyer!!

Steve and his paralegal, JoEllen, were a Godsend! Always available to answer any questions, with little to no wait time! They made the court process a breeze, from start to finish! Steve is awesome! He really digs into the case to understand every aspect of it! He's caring, professional, smart, ple...asant, and knows exactly what he's doing. In my case, he accomplished what other lawyers said couldn't be done, and in record time! I couldn't be more pleased with his work. Worth every penny! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Steve and Jo restored dignity to me and my children.

Steve August and his assistant Jo Ellen restored the peace of mind I had lost during previous family court proceedings when I was not yet lucky enough to have them. They took the time to study my family's complex situation in a way that made me feel confident that any actions or communications t...hey would take on our behalf would be in our best interest. Not only are they both knowledgeable, efficient, and thorough, they are kind and respectful--which is so important when one is being attacked by others. Because of Steve's and Jo's work, my family is in a better place than before. We are forever grateful.

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."
