Working with Mr Kaufman was a true God send he worked with through my up and my downs. He encouraged me when I felt discouraged. If I could I would truly truly recommend him to the world. God Bless You Mr Kaufman and Keep Doing What You Are Doing!!!!
I highly recommend his services. Attorney and Staff extremely professional, knowledgeable, reliable and friendly. Awesome people skills. I will forever be grateful".
Mr. Kauffman and his entire staff were a pleasure to work with. They made my divorce (uncontested) as easy and painless as possible. The whole process only took 38 days - start to finish. They keep me informed every step of the way. His office staff was always very professional, courteous, and helpful when I called. I would definitely recommend his services to anyone.
I can honestly say he is the best, although this was my first time ever going through a divorce he told me he would take care of it and so he did, married to a drama Queen for years and now I'm single again and waiting for God to send me my Woman. Thank you Mr. Kaufman and your team for setting me free.
Easy and friendly service. I used the firm to do a Name change and was done in a timely manner. Always avail to answer questions with a quick response. Will most definitely use again if possible.
Mr Kaufman is an excellent attorney. He was always available to take your phone call anytime of the day or night. He is extremely professional and knowledgeable in his field. I am extremely satisfied with the services Mr Kaufman has provided me and would recommend him to any family or friend
Steve & Lisette, and the all-team work of this office are excellent professionals, very good customer service at all times, with extensive service and knowledge of the laws. I has worked with many lawyers in my professional life in Scotland, UK and I have to emphasize that Steve D Kaufman is an excellent and very professional in his work, simple, honest, humble, and very efficient in his cases. I was recommended to him and of course I would like recommend him 100% to anyone who needs his services. Very thankful, Kind regards Alans Sherman.
I was looking for an attorney to hire to help me enforce my parenting plan. I was between two attorneys and the reason I went ahead with Mr. Steven D. Kaufman was he told me from the beginning exactly what he wanted to do with my case. I felt, comparing to the other attorney I spoke to previously, he was the one with more experience and the only attorney to describe how he will approach my case. In addition, Mr. Kaufman was always available through text message/phone call. This was very surprising, but it made me feel he was always ready to speak on my case and give me the best legal advice possible. I would be more than happy to hire Mr. Kaufman again for any family law issue I may have in the future. His assistant, Ms. Hernandez, is a hardworking and intuitive individual. I would highly recommend this attorney!
This is the second time I use Mr. Kaufman and I definitely recommend his services. He represented me in my divorce and then in a child support issue both times he has provided excellent and professional services. I am extremely grateful and happy with both outcomes. He answered all our questions and responded timely.
Mr. Kaufman is not interested in billing hours, his clients best interest is a priority. My experience with him is unforgettable, he was there every time I needed him. I don’t normally post reviews, this is a very special experience definitely someone I will recommend and will hire in the future.
Reviews
These client and peer reviews are from the Martindale-Avvo Legal Network.
Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.
The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.
Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page
Martindale Peer Reviews
Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.
The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.
What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*
• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.
• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.
• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.
Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.
Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
