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

Steve came recommended on an anonynous source on an internet forum. I'm so glad I called him. He stepped after I decided that the first attorney I hired just wasn't competent. When I hired Steve, the difference was night and day. Steve asks questions to make sure he knows what your concerns are. He e...xplains clearly and concisely what you need to know, how the system works, what the OTHER attorney is probably thinking. Long story short, he knows what he's doing. Also his assistant Jo Ellen is excellent as well. Communication happens quickly and clearly. Steve and Jo allowed me to relax and trust that things were being handled as best they could. Their excellence took a lot of the anxiety about divorce out of the equation for me. My wife's attorney was at a large firm in downtown Cleveland. So was my first attorney. Both of them were (relatively) incompetent especially when compared to Steve. Don't believe that because an attorney is part of a large firm and they have beautiful offices, that this translates into competence. It doesn't. If you want to feel confident that you're getting the best representation available, hire Steve August. He's tough, fair, supremely knowledge, affable, patient, and will always keep you informed as to exactly what's going on. If I could give him 10 stars, I would.

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.

Just what I needed

Steve and his amazing paralegal Jo made the experience of my disillusion as smooth as possible. Steve is exactly what I needed him to be; patient, kind, extremely knowledgeable, and a pitbull in my corner when necessary. I felt extremely supported through the entire process with his counsel. He reall...y listened to what I wanted and explained all my options for how to make it happen. I got everything I wanted in the end. I also found his billing to be extremely fair.

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."
