"I used SterlingLawyers.com for my child custody case. Having never been through this I had no idea what to expect or what the process was and was very nervous about the whole situation. My lawyer (Nikole) was very professional, straight to the point and took time to explain everything out to me which put me at ease. She took the time to talk to me every step of the way really listening to me and when it came to the hearing/agreement I got exactly what I wanted. Cant recommend SterlingLawyers.com enough."
