Steven August

Steven August was highly recommended to me by my step-daughter who was also in the process of divorce. From the very time I met Steve and Jo they made me feel comfortable and assured me that they would give me the best possible service....and that is exactly what they did from start to finish. Jo, h...is paralegal, was great! She never made me feel like a bother. She was so kind and helpful and totally on the ball! Steve took charge from the moment I met him. He answered every question, explained the process and was so impressive and assertive in court. He always had my best interest at heart and defended me every step of the way. I was so proud to be represented by Steve! He and Jo make an awesome team. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into my case!

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.

Enthusiastically Recommended

After consultations with several recommended attorneys, I chose Steve because of his calm demeanor, clarity and attentiveness; I know now that made a very good choice. It is with great gratitude that I write this review, enthusiastically recommending this good man as an advocate, should you have the... misfortune of needing a divorce. Steve and his kind, competent paralegal, Jo Ellen, very patiently supported and guided me through times of fear and confusion, answering my many questions as I processed through my divorce. I am eternally grateful to both of them. Steve remained calm and respectful at all times— to everyone; his respectful manner is constant and noteworthy. His steady peacefulness kept me calm and gave me confidence, knowing that he was in my corner. Steve is an intelligent strategist who is focused and dedicated to his client’s best interests; his attention to detail and evident effort in preparation are sublime and translate to a favorable outcome in court. As I watched him work on the day of my trial, it was clear that Steve loves what he does and he does it very well. I was stunned and pleasantly surprised with the outcome of my divorce--I never expected such generously positive results! Thank you, Steve, for advocating for me.

A blessing during the most trying time of my life

I have immense gratitude, respect and appreciation for Steve and Jo. I did not know where to turn when my husband wanted a divorce. Several recommendations pointed one direction: Steve August. In the most trying time of my life, I found great reassurance I was in the best hands possible to handle e...very aspect of my divorce. Steve and Jo guided me in every aspect of this journey. There were so many details to address in my situation - many of them seemed overwhelming and confusing to me. I was reassured knowing Steve would leave no stone unturned. The attention to detail in every aspect of representing me was impeccable - focused, hardworking and driven to reach an outstanding settlement for my future. Both Steve and Jo were always attentive to my questions and concerns making me feel comfortable and reassured I would be ok. They are truly the best. I wish I could leave a 10 star rating.

Excellent

Steve came recommended on an anonynous source on an internet forum. I'm so glad I called him. He stepped after I decided that the first attorney I hired just wasn't competent. When I hired Steve, the difference was night and day. Steve asks questions to make sure he knows what your concerns are. He e...xplains clearly and concisely what you need to know, how the system works, what the OTHER attorney is probably thinking. Long story short, he knows what he's doing. Also his assistant Jo Ellen is excellent as well. Communication happens quickly and clearly. Steve and Jo allowed me to relax and trust that things were being handled as best they could. Their excellence took a lot of the anxiety about divorce out of the equation for me. My wife's attorney was at a large firm in downtown Cleveland. So was my first attorney. Both of them were (relatively) incompetent especially when compared to Steve. Don't believe that because an attorney is part of a large firm and they have beautiful offices, that this translates into competence. It doesn't. If you want to feel confident that you're getting the best representation available, hire Steve August. He's tough, fair, supremely knowledge, affable, patient, and will always keep you informed as to exactly what's going on. If I could give him 10 stars, I would.
