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!

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 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.

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.

Excellent Attorney!

Steve was not my first divorce attorney. (I had a very bad experience my first attorney!) During my first conversation with Steve, he listened to everything I had to say and then he proceeded to ask me questions and make suggestions which my first attorney had never done. I knew from this moment o...n that I was in good hands and that I could rely on his knowledge and expertise to ensure the best possible result. Steve guided me through the whole process and at no time did I have any doubts about the final outcome. He made the unpleasant experience of divorce as painless as possible. I can recommend Steve 100%.

Divorce and separation lawyer | May 06

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."
