For Immediate help planning your divorce or answering of your questions call (312) 757-8082 now.
Our aim of reducing the stress facing our clients is reflected in our unique flat-rate pricing system. The last thing you need during a difficult time is the added worry of an unknown attorney bill and hidden fees at the end of it. We don't charge hourly, which means that no matter how drawn out or complex your case becomes the price you pay never changes.
Included in your fee is all communication, research, travel, and time that our lawyers spend working with you. Our goal is to be proud of our work and provide the best possible outcome for our clients, not to nickel-and-dime the people who put their trust in us.
Unlike many law offices, which offer a little of this and a little of that, at Sterling Hughes we practice exclusively in family law. Our team is made up of experienced divorce lawyers, Collaborative Law practitioners and trained mediators with over 60 years of combined experience. And all of our attorneys combine their varied backgrounds and know-how by sharing information daily to work towards a common goal for the benefit of our clients.
We also make use of an excellent network of professionals who could be the difference between winning and losing a case. Our network includes social workers, court officials, appraisers, and therapists that share our passion for finding what is fair in the law.
Communication is an important key to our success in building trust with each client we work with. We will take care of you and walk you through every step of the process. Our daily updates and strategy sharing will relieve you any extra weight you carry as the case evolves.

"I would highly recommend this Law Firm. I was in a situation where I was unsure if I needed to have an attorney or not, and after talking with them & having been side tracked thru the Milw Courts for a Family Matter I decided to hire them. Living 3 hours away & working full time I was able to do all the paperwork via Fax & Email. They gave me options that I myself would of not even thought of. They were upfront with the costs of services I may have needed, Luckily I was able to get this matter ruled in my favor and got my case transferred out of Milw Co. They respond to your questions in a timely matter &keep you updated as to what they have or are doing with your case. Being 43 yrs old & never had to hire an attorney & being in a different county & finding their law firm by Googling & reading all the reviews to make a call us all it took. Was confident when my court date came that we had information to back my claim & Erin Boyd was Ready to fight for me & my son's. They all work together to find the right attorney for your needs. HOLLY & ERIN both made me feel at ease knowing what was in store & what would have to be done if we needed to proceed to the next step. I would recommend them to anyone that needs someone to fight for them. Erin asked questions & If I had messages & all I had to do was email them to her & she had them if we needed to pull them out in court. I was nervous &Erin put my nerves at ease. So happy I was able to put this chapter behind since it's been on going since 2009. Just wish I would be able to use them again in my county cuz they would be the firm I call. But If I am ever needing a recommendation for a legal matter I will contact them & ask for direction. THANKS AGAIN ERIN & THE REST OF THE FIRM."
