"My initial consult was very comforting - Kirsten was so friendly and made me feel at ease right from the start. Divorce is a difficult time as it is and then you start talking attorney fees and property division and husband knowledge/concerns and it gets even more over-whelming. She just reminded me to breathe and that they have this, she is with me every step of the way and if for some reason she would need to be away, there is always someone within SterlingLawyers.com to back her up."
