In 2023 and 2025, Mr. August was again honored by Michigan Lawyers Weekly as a Go-To Lawyer for construction law and in 2023 as a Go-To Power Lawyer. Mr. August’s legal prowess has also been recognized outside of legal rating services and publications. He was featured in Crain’s Detroit Business both in its July 2016 Special Report profiling the top 14 “Litigators” in the region and again in 2025 as a “Notable Litigator and Trial Attorney” as a result of his high-dollar, high-profile litigation matters.
