Life changer

I would like to share my thoughts and experiences with Steve August as my lawyer. Steve is extremely professional, honest, and very dedicated to his clients. If I called the office, I always got a call back. I was never ignored. I was treated like a human being and respected. Steve never gave... up on me or my case, and he worked tirelessly on my behalf, prevailing through the Court of Appeals through a very contested, drawn-out proceeding. I cannot thank Steve and Jo enough for all their hard work and perseverance. If I could put in words my experience with Steve, I would say the best way to put it is that Steve has changed my life.

Steven August

Steven August was highly recommended to me by my step-daughter who was also in the process of divorce. From the very time I met Steve and Jo they made me feel comfortable and assured me that they would give me the best possible service....and that is exactly what they did from start to finish. Jo, h...is paralegal, was great! She never made me feel like a bother. She was so kind and helpful and totally on the ball! Steve took charge from the moment I met him. He answered every question, explained the process and was so impressive and assertive in court. He always had my best interest at heart and defended me every step of the way. I was so proud to be represented by Steve! He and Jo make an awesome team. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into my case!

The BEST!

I had post decree issues that arose and Steve was the perfect choice. Steve exudes professionalism coupled with kindness. In addition, he never wavered in his commitment to my case. He remained calm, confident and never let a detail slip by. Most importantly, he prioritized my children's needs. ...Jo is amazing and just her voice let's you know all is ok and handled. Steve is extremely intelligent yet not arrogant. In the end, Steve and Jo were the perfect strategists and I had a favorable outcome.

Excellent Attorney!

Steve August guided me through a very difficult and challenging time in my life, namely a dissolution of marriage/divorce. He is an extremely supportive, experienced attorney, and made me feel so comfortable through the entire process, from the very first meeting, right up until the end of my case. S...teve is dedicated to his practice and his clients and was super responsive to all my questions and requests along the way. I could not have made it to the finish line without him. If you are looking for a great attorney, skilled and knowledgeable in divorce and separation matters, someone who truly cares about you and the well-being of your children, then Steve is the right attorney for you. His paralegal Jo was fantastic to work with, and Jo and Steve make an awesome legal team!

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.

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."
