Steven Lee 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 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.

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.

I was involved in a long drawn out divorce proceeding, and at times it was difficult to maintain perspective on all the moving parts. Steve was able to guide me through it while focusing on my number one priority-my children. Steve always handles himself professionally and it was clearly evident to... me that he is greatly respected by his peers and colleagues in the courts and Family Services. He is someone you can count on to not only work for you, but also work with you to keep your eyes on what is really going to matter once you get past the process.

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!!!
