Great Representation

I can't say enough good things about Steve and Jo—they truly make the best team. I am eternally grateful to have been referred to Steve for my divorce. He is incredibly compassionate and a great listener, and I am so thankful to have had him on my side through an already difficult process. Thank you ...for such great representation.

You Want Steve on Your Team

Steve was patient with me as I navigated so many aspects of divorce I didn't know. He listened like he cared and he lead me through one of the hardest processes I've had to complete with professionalism, precision, and confidence. He constantly advocated for my best interests even when I was not doin...g so for myself. I'd like to mention Jo who runs the ship for Steve and was amazing with communicating with me on document deadlines and next steps. I would recommend them without hesitation. You want a team like this on your side.

This Attorney Was Recommended by Others - Glad I Hired Him, Too

Working with Steven August during my divorce was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. He is truly a high value attorney and the outcome he achieved for me was worth every dollar, and remarkably, he wasn’t even the most expensive lawyer I’ve retained. In fact, he delivered the best results at the... lowest cost, which says everything about his skill, integrity, and commitment to his clients. Steven has an exceptional emotional IQ. He consistently made me feel at ease, even during the most stressful moments, and he handled every detail with calm confidence. I often compare him to other attorneys I’ve worked with over the years, and he stands out as the absolute best. What is the price you pay for peace of mind? With Steven, that peace was priceless. He is not only an outstanding lawyer but also a genuinely kind person. His legal assistant, Jo, is equally wonderful - responsive, thoughtful, and always kind. Together, they make an incredibly supportive team. I would recommend Steven August without hesitation. If you want expertise, compassion, and a lawyer who truly delivers, he is the one to retain. -Brook H.

Super grateful!

Steve August and Jo were super helpful and a pleasure to work with. They walked me through every step and answered all of my many questions. Divorce is a stressful process but they made it that much easier. I came to them through two friends’ recommendations and I would definitely recommend working w...ith them to anyone else !

Don't go into a battle for your life with a squirt gun

When you're fighting for your future, use the sharpest weapon you can. I can't say enough about Steve and paralegal Jo. They are smart, strategic and responsive. Steve has a cool head and a kind heart but don't mistake his compassion for your situation because he's fierce against opposing counsel. W...ould not do battle without them.

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."
