Experienced

As a fellow attorney, and a client, I highly recommend Stephen Jay Kaufman "I was referred to Steve by a colleague in my law firm, with less than a day to respond to my former spouse's hiring an aggressive attorney and seeking to seize control of my income and assets during the pendency of our dissolution. From the moment I spoke with Steve during this very stressful time in my life, he inspired my confidence with his competence, rapport with Superior Court judges and measured response to the hyper-aggressive tactics undertaken by my former spouse's attorneys. I felt confident that his advocacy skills were superior to the different attorneys my ex-spouse hired and fired. His compassion and assuredness allowed me not only to endure the process but helped me put that chapter of my life behind me. To this day, I think of Steve not only as a respected colleague, but also as a friend." ~ D.L.

Dedicated

The outcome of our trial is due to Steve's tireless efforts and diligence to our case. "I often feel like Steve Kaufman was brought into my life. 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 well respected 'opposing counsels' representing the children's father. Steve's dedication and personal integrity continues well beyond our final court orders. The outcome of our trial is due to Steve's tireless efforts and diligence to our case.” CG

Professional

Every other Lawyer would have long ago given up "I have wanted to thank you for your devotion and care to the case. Surely every other Lawyer would have long ago given up - but you did not - and you are still moving forward...I do believe through your constant sane intervention, the children will soon have hope for normal." ~ A. S.

Honest

Patience and thoroughness "I greatly appreciate the patience and thoroughness with which you addressed our questions and concerns. The information you shared with us is most valuable as we face some important decisions during this challenging time." ~ R.M.P.

Well Prepared

Reassuring, thoughtful and timely "I met Steve while helping my elderly mother navigate a complex re-write of a 10 year old divorce under very strange circumstances. Throughout the negotiation and documentation, Steve was reassuring, thoughtful and timely, helping us to put a difficult situation behind us as quickly and painlessly as possible. He is now somewhat an extension of the "good" side of the family tree and we would heartily recommend his services (as we already have.)" ~ Karen P.
