Steven Lee August

Divorce is a very emotionally-laden process filled with legal negotiations. I could not have gotten through this without Steve August and his paralegal Jo. They were timely in their responses/filings, answered all of my questions, and were stronger advocates for fairness for my children and myself th...an I was at times. Steve was always honest about what was occurring including timelines and other things to expect during this process. I hope to never have to use his services again (because I hope to never divorce again); however, I will highly and always recommend Steve August to anybody I know who is going through a divorce and/or child custody issue.

I had post decree issues that arose and Steve was the perfect choice. Steve exudes professionalism coupled with kindness. In addition, he never wavered in his commitment to my case. He remained calm, confident and never let a detail slip by. Most importantly, he prioritized my children's needs. ...Jo is amazing and just her voice let's you know all is ok and handled. Steve is extremely intelligent yet not arrogant. In the end, Steve and Jo were the perfect strategists and I had a favorable outcome.

Not only am I a client, but I am also an attorney. When I was blindsided with divorce, Steve was the first person I called. Although I initially thought the divorce would be collaborative, I quickly realized that would not be the case, and the process would be even more difficult. Steve was fa...ntastic through the whole process. He kept me fully informed, provided great service (all of my questions and concerns were very promptly answered in a direct and straight forward manner), and gave me great advice. Most importantly, he listened to what I needed, set the priorities to get those things accomplished, and put me first. He was direct, effective, compassionate, and efficient. While divorce (especially with kids) is traumatic, having Steve in my corner allowed me to preserve my relationship with my kids, get the custody arrangement that I wanted, move forward in life, and maintain financial stability. Thanks, in large part to Steve, life did move forward after separation and divorce. I do not wish the grief of the end of a long marriage on anyone, but if they must face it for any reason, Steve should be their first call!!!

Going through a divorce is anything but fun, and believe me, you definitely want Steve and Jo by your side! Steve was recommended to me by someone that actually used to be a divorce attorney. I had a rather difficult case that also involved a child with special needs. From my very first phone call... to Steve's office I was treated like I was his #1 priority. His assistant Jo, is amazing! The two of them balance each other perfectly. Steve is very meticulous. Nothing gets past him. Nothing. If I wouldn't have hired Steve for my divorce, I'm certain it would not have ended anywhere close to how favorable it did for me and my children. Steve and Jo will always be there for you, they will always have your back. If you have to get divorced, do it right. Steve and Jo are simply the best and I am so grateful to them for accomplishing what they did for me!

Going through a nasty divorce is painful on so many aspects, but my main concerns were what the future would hold and how to navigate the judicial process, especially when a child is involved. I was referred to Steve August and after meeting with him, I immediately felt safer and stronger. Steve, and... his paralegal Jo Ellen, are beyond organized, detail-oriented and brilliantly smart. Steve knows to do things that I would have never even thought about; from county laws, to how to handle yourself during pre-trials and depositions, and then turning to the caring side when it comes to child custody. I can honestly say that I put everything into their hands, and they carried me to the finish line. Steve reached out to me when he needed to, and calmed me down when I needed it. He was timely on all documentation, meetings, trials, etc. Anytime I needed him or Jo, they were there, especially after-hours. Not only did Steve go to bat for me, but he explained why he did things and what would be best, that way I knew exactly what was happening at all times; and I actually learned a lot through the whole process. After the divorce, I never thought I would end up missing the company of my lawyer and his company, but that is exactly what happened! They treated me with respect and kindness at all times, and were utterly professional. I would recommend this firm to anyone, anywhere, anytime. They were my brain when mine went blank, my heart when I would start to lose hope, and my backbone when I couldn’t stand. I will be forever grateful.
