"The flat rate fee is by far the best idea for lawyers, especially when the case goes on longer than you would have hoped. My lawyer has always been upfront and honest. She is a great communicator, fair and very helpful. She never promised things that she didn't think we could get. I would highly recommend SterlingLawyers.com."
