Recommendation for Steve August

Steve and his paralegal, Jo, offer the legal know-how and expertise to navigate the often confusing and contradictory world of family law. Intelligent, supportive, well-respected, they listen, consult and strategize in order to achieve the best possible outcome to what many would argue is one of the ...worst possible situations. The level of tenacity and righteousness they brought to bear in my case was heartfelt and life changing. To have such a qualified ally in your corner fighting for you and your children, with a mix of understanding for you and outrage over the opposition was refreshing, and inspiring. Not only was Steve intellectually superior, he handled my case with an emotional intelligence, directness and honesty that was reassuring, and ultimately led to the successful resolution of my case. I felt he championed for my rights and the rights of my children and did so with a perfect balance between clarity of argument and appeal to emotion that proved his dedication to my family and grasp of the law. I simply cannot say enough about Steve and Jo and the difference they have made in my life. Two years after my case officially ended, I still feel I can turn to them for advice and continued support in navigating necessary continuing legal issues affecting my family. They are dedicated to your cause, inspiring in their intellect and grasp of the law and tenacious in their communicating your case to ensure the best possible outcome.

Steve August Is The Best!

Steve August is a very knowledgeable, dedicated and compassionate family law attorney. He represented me in a very complicated divorce which ended as a dissolution. It was only a 4-year marriage, but it involved a young child and a significant amount of assets, including a business. Steve negotiated... extremely well to get me everything that I deserved and more. In addition, I was dealing with a very abusive ex-husband so the proceedings were very difficult and emotional. Steve and his paralegal Jo Ellen, showed compassion and empathy, while keeping me focused on the end goal. Steve was also incredibly considerate and mindful of keeping my attorney fees down to a minimum. I am very grateful for what Steve and Jo Ellen have done for me. They have restored my dignity, and I am definitely in a much better place in my life because of them.

Professional & caring

So, the decision was made, I'm getting a divorce. What is the next step? Walking into to the office of Steve August was the best decision I've made. It was not an easy time in my life, but with the help of this amazing and caring attorney, and his secretary, I could see the light at the end of th...e tunnel. From the first meeting till the last day (the final court day) he had given me the best advice, and received the best results I could ever dream of. I would definitely recommend him, because he is not only the best at what he does, he is also a mensch!!!!

Indefatigable attorney

It is hard for me to put into words all that Steve did to help my children and I become the new post divorce family that we are today. I was scared and at times unsure how to proceed. Steve talked with me at great length about my options and supported me in the decisions I made. He knew that my prima...ry concern was my children and he managed my case with that in mind. There were times when I considered throwing in the towel because getting divorced is stressful and Steve (and Jo) helped me through those moments. Steve is a fighter, a stand up guy, kept his word, did all that he said that he would. He is passionate, dedicated, and committed and I felt that he was willing to do whatever it would take to help me. I truly do not know how he is able to do all that he does for his clients! I am so grateful to Steve August!

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."
