Simply the Best

From the first time I walked into Steve’s office as victim of domestic violence to walking in as a survivor to thank Steve and Jo for the superior handling of my five years long divorce case. Steve is without question simply the best.

Best Family Lawyer in Cleveland

I could not recommend Steve enough. Divorce is not easy and it is emotionally exhausting but Steve and his paralegal Jo went above and beyond. He was always on top of my case, knew every detail down to the penny, and was proactive in fighting for me to protect myself and my children. Anytime I had a... question, Jo made sure he got back to me. I felt like they were more than just my legal team and made it feel personal while maintaining extreme professionalism. He is a highly respected lawyer, level headed, and is methodical in everything he does. He is well versed in domestic violence which was very important to me. If I had to go through this again, I would over and over choose Steve and Jo. It was a blessing to have them see through my case!

Great Service

I called Steve for a consult on getting a divorce. I had so many questions and concerns that I felt overwhelmed at the time. Steve was great, he set my mind at ease and answered all my questions. He was very professional throughout the proceedings and was able to negotiate a fair agreement with my ...ex’s counsel. He and his team are amazing at the services they provide and are always friendly. I highly recommend their services.

The BEST!

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.

Excellent Attorney!

Steve August guided me through a very difficult and challenging time in my life, namely a dissolution of marriage/divorce. He is an extremely supportive, experienced attorney, and made me feel so comfortable through the entire process, from the very first meeting, right up until the end of my case. S...teve is dedicated to his practice and his clients and was super responsive to all my questions and requests along the way. I could not have made it to the finish line without him. If you are looking for a great attorney, skilled and knowledgeable in divorce and separation matters, someone who truly cares about you and the well-being of your children, then Steve is the right attorney for you. His paralegal Jo was fantastic to work with, and Jo and Steve make an awesome legal team!

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."
