Thorough, on point, honest

Steve handled a couple of post decree modifications for me. From the initial consultation through the conclusion I knew I had hired the perfect attorney for the case. He was upfront about costs, took the time to fully understand the nuances of my particular case, negotiated on my behalf with vigor ...and was ultimately able to settle all the outstanding issues with a result that exceeded my expectations. Jo is fantastic as well! Highly recommend Steve.

Absolutely wonderful team to have in your corner!

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!

A Team You Can Count On!

Steve and Jo are absolutely the team you want behind you at one of the most difficult times in your life! They are compassionate, answer all emails/calls, extremely organized, explain every detail so you understand what/why and will ALWAYS have your back. After going through the divorce experience,... I can sleep soundly knowing every nook and cranny has been covered. I feel like Steve and Jo are not just my divorce team but my family!

Having the best team on your side!

Steve and Jo were on my side at every step along the difficult and painful process. They helped me stay focused and positive through the most difficult of circumstances. Steve was calm, professional, ethical, smart, insightful and was helpful at keeping the divorce on track even though my ex and his ...team were determined to create as much chaos and unpleasantness as possible. Jo was a blessing with so many details and the passing of both my parents during the process she helped keep important information organized and managed the project with both efficiency and compassion. The divorce was completed to my great satisfaction in just under a year, even though there was a complicated financial situation and a house sale that always under threat of loss from the actions of other side of the divorce. Steve and Jo were on my side and helped me move on to a better, happier life - my gratitude for them and confidence in them are boundless!!!

Dream Team: Steve August Law Firm Exceeds All Expectations

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.
