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.

Excellent Attorney and Counselor

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.

Professional and Thorough. Very Real People.

Steve August was amazing when I went through my divorce this year. I wasn't entirely sure what I wanted, what the procedure was, or how my decisions, while going through the divorce, would affect my life down the road. In the very first discussions we had, he was vehement about going for everything t...hat was owed to me and frankly said if this wasn't something I was comfortable with, he wasn't the lawyer for me. He's empathetic and positive and thorough. He's a good listener (the poor thing) and is very, very good at what he does. I had a friend text me recently about her divorce day in court and she was worried he ex husband was hijacking the negotiations. My immediate response was "you have Steve. Listen to him and everything will be fine." Steve is not just a damn good lawyer, he's a nice person. Jo Ellen, his assistant was amazing as well - empathetic and responsive to all the highs and lows. Thanks to both of them for getting me through one of the worst times of my life.

Steve is the best!

My legal separation had very special circumstances and Steve helped me through it all with professionalism and compassion. I totally trust him and I know he did the very best for my case. He always kept me up to date and returned my calls promptly. He alleviated my fears and helped me to understan...d the process. And Jo is also a great help and always friendly and easy to talk to. They make a fantastic team!

Steve August

Going through a divorce is like jumping in a black hole and not knowing what is at the bottom. Steve August took all my fears away. He guided me through the entire process. He was always available for me and talked to me countless times at great length. Steve had such amazing patience as I needed a ...lot of explanations. I feel very fortunate I had Steve represent 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."
