Stephen Jay Kaufman

Steve helped me get through one of the most stressful (if not the most stressful) situations of my life. I have an 11 year old child of which some old custody paperwork fell through some cracks. Upon my knowledge of the mishap, I was referred to Steve through another attorney whom I have used for ot...her legal matters. I contacted Steve immediately and he was very concerned about my situation. He Immediately scheduled me to come in the very next day. Upon arrival at the appointment, he explained what we needed to do and he got right to work on my case. Steve informed me that I had a strong case and for me not to worry. He kept me informed regularly and was extremely knowledgeable in the way family court worked and would perceive my case. Long story short, everything ended up in my favor. Steve is an excellent litigator. Opposing counsel didn't have a chance.

My divorce took over two years and Stephen was there with his support, recommendations and knowledge. His ethical approach and direct manner assured and confirmed my decisions. Rather than make decisions for me, he informed me of all possible consequences and listened respectfully to my decisions. I ...recommend Mr. Kaufman as a fair, responsible, and competent attorney.

From the moment I spoke with Steve during a very stressful and unsure stage in my life, and the lives of my children, I knew he would passionately represent the best interest of my children. I felt confident every step of the way that I had far superior representation than the dozen other “opposing ...counsels” representing the other party. Steve’s dedication and personal integrity continues well beyond our final court orders. Steve believed in me from the moment I met him and saw us through to reach the other side of our very complex case. The outcome of our trial is due to Steve’s tireless efforts and diligence to our case. It was a much deserved victory for all involved, and the reward has been the change in my children’s attitudes and outlook on life. We love our life and we owe so much of what we have to Steve Kaufman and the entire OC Family Law family. I highly recommend Mr. Kaufman. In my opinion, there is no better family law attorney in Orange County.
