A wonderful and caring, divorce attorney who gets the job done!

I worked with Steve on my divorce for many years. Throughout the entire time he was always on top of things and always felt like he had my best interest in mind. When things were complicated, he always seemed to figure them out in a way that made me feel incredibly comfortable with the plan, which t...hen resulted in a great outcome. His assistant Jo was a pleasure to communicate with, and she always seemed to get things done in a timely fashion. I feel very fortunate that I used Steve and his staff for my lengthy divorce and I’m very happy with the outcome. I would recommend Steve without any hesitation to anyone who is looking for a divorce lawyer.

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.

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.

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!

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.
