Steven Lee August

Steve and Jo are absolutely the team you want behind you at one of the most difficult times in your life! They are compassionate, answer all emails/calls, extremely organized, explain every detail so you understand what/why and will ALWAYS have your back. After going through the divorce experience,... I can sleep soundly knowing every nook and cranny has been covered. I feel like Steve and Jo are not just my divorce team but my family!

I found out about Steve from a couple friends of mine who had nothing but great things to say about him. I met with a couple attorneys before meeting with Steve and nothing felt right until I met with Steve. Jo Ellen (his assistant) made me feel very comfortable when I showed up for my appointment. A...fter sitting down with Steve and explaining my situation I knew that there was no better person to choose to handle my situation then him. Steve is the most prepared attorney you will ever work with. He viewed our case from every angle and always stated how “timing is everything.” He could not be more correct. He knew when to file certain motions and responses to certain motions so that it worked to the best interest of my son. Steve is a very honest and intelligent person. He will tell you whether or not something will work to your best interest and if it doesn’t he will not let you put yourself through failure. Him and Jo Ellen are both great listeners and are quick to respond back to any questions or concerns. I would definitely recommend Steve to handle any child custody case. You will not be disappointed.

I decided to get divorced since my former husband became unfaithful and he no longer even cared about his children. I met several attorneys before meeting Steve and none of them made me feel safer or strong enough to go through this process. I had never had to deal with any legal issues before, and... since I did not have any family in this country I felt really vulnerable. When I met Steve, he was straight-forward and honest, thoroughly answered all of my questions. What I liked the most was that the children were always his priority. Steve is a great listener with a brilliant mind and he helped me make the right decisions for my family. This firm could not have a better paralegal than Jo, who is smart, caring and always willing to help with any questions I had. Every time I called Jo, she was patient and kind, answered my concerns with calmness and assertiveness. I will miss talking to her. The day of the trial I felt supported, and I was certain that Steve will do his very best for me. Steve was there for me, he worked so hard for months on my case, and I knew that this hard work and honesty in everything he does would bring the best results for me. I felt that I received what I needed and deserved at the end of this process.

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 represented me in my divorce with my ex-wife. I was impressed with Steve's attention to detail. Instead of focusing on the unavoidable drama of a divorce case, Steve was more concerned with the details and nuances of my case and kept me focused on helping him obtain the best possible result. ... Steve was honest in his assessment of my case, and was a steadfast advocate during the entire representation. He kept me informed at all times and, together with his awesome assistant Jo Ellen, was continually available for support during the case. Steve's calm yet firm demeanor was crucial in obtaining the outcome that was achieved. I have already recommend Steve to friends and colleagues who are in need of counsel.
