Highly recommend Steve August---he is knowledgeable and an advocate for you, even when you may not emotionally do it yourself

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 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!

Excellent

I never worked with a lawyer before my divorce. I hired one lawyer before I hired Steve and I had to let her go. Steve was recommended by a close friend and he was a god send! He and Jo were patient and kind during a very challenging situation and I really felt the support I needed. Steve fought ...for me even when I felt like giving up. He wouldn’t let me give up and gave me the guidance I needed to make it through this time of my life. I will be forever grateful for his time and effort. Jo was a wonderful resource and always got back to me when I had questions and concerns. Steve and Jo are a great team and I would highly recommend them to anyone that may need this type of support.

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.

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."
