Steven Lee August

I decided to get divorced since my former husband became unfaithful and he no longer even cared about his children. I met several attorneys before meeting Steve and none of them made me feel safer or strong enough to go through this process. I had never had to deal with any legal issues before, and... since I did not have any family in this country I felt really vulnerable. When I met Steve, he was straight-forward and honest, thoroughly answered all of my questions. What I liked the most was that the children were always his priority. Steve is a great listener with a brilliant mind and he helped me make the right decisions for my family. This firm could not have a better paralegal than Jo, who is smart, caring and always willing to help with any questions I had. Every time I called Jo, she was patient and kind, answered my concerns with calmness and assertiveness. I will miss talking to her. The day of the trial I felt supported, and I was certain that Steve will do his very best for me. Steve was there for me, he worked so hard for months on my case, and I knew that this hard work and honesty in everything he does would bring the best results for me. I felt that I received what I needed and deserved at the end of this process.

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 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.
