Jacqueline and Jessica are amazing!
I have never needed an attorney until recently and was quite overwhelmed. I am so thankful I came across this law firm when I did. The staff is top notch and the lawyers made me feel confident and supported throughout my case. Ryan, the lawyer assigned to me was always understanding and gave me my options and choices in a clear and straightforward manner. I would use them again!
This office stays in touch & keeps you up to date on what is going on with your case. They are well informed.
Ryan Shope was absolutely amazing. She took time to answer every question. She was patient when I needed time to get things together. She has a very calming presence during a very hectic process. Her paralegal Danielle was also just wonderful. Always quick to respond and very helpful. Knowing exacting how much it would cost helped immensely!

Very supportive
Kind and compassionate
Atty Ali Isroff was compassionate, honest, patient and there every step of the way. Trying to navigate through one of the most difficult times in one’s life can be a lot but, Ali and her team made it a little easier to swallow. Ali Isroff and Danielle Kasper were always super responsive and available for any questions, issues or concerns that I had. Sterling Lawyers are NOT just in it for the money and do not nickel and dime you for everything. Ali truly did care about my case, my wellbeing and was always honest in the most respectful way. Divorce isn’t something that anyone wants to go through but, having a lawyer by your side that you can trust is a confidence that everyone deserves. I feel lucky that I was granted that privilege and appreciate everything that Ali has done for me and my family.
Knowledge of attorney and ease of discussion.
Solid communication. Assuaged my concerns. Not done yet, but we are making great headway. I trust that we will make my goal deadline of EOM filing.
"Attorney Nina Kelly took on my case, and I can’t thank her enough for all she’s provided for myself and my family! If you want a strong, highly intelligent, highly skilled, force to be reckoned with (in a good way!) lawyer who is committed, dedicated, goes above and beyond for her clients, takes additional time explaining, who is extremely compassionate, professional, thorough and sometimes brutally honest (I love that she never sugar-coated anything!) this attorney is for you! She is unstoppable, driven, energetic, passionate about her clients, it truly shows and the time and effort she put into my case, I’m amazed at what she achieved and made possible! I HIGHLY recommend Attorney Nina Kelly, you will not regret it! She is unbelievably AMAZING in every way. Thank you Nina, for all your hard work and efforts you put in to my case, I’m forever grateful!
I also want to add that the entire team was so kind, professional, helpful, and compassionate, especially Stacey in billing, and Paralegal Kimberley Rose who worked with Attorney Nina Kelly. Thank you all for your efforts!"
We’re very considerate of my needs and feeling since this is a very emotional process.
The pricing flexibility and knowledge of the process was great!
On a scale of 1-10, I would absolutely recommend Ali to friends and family. She was kind, understanding, honest, reliable, easy to get ahold of, and considerate of the sensitive topic. I appreciate everything she did for me!!
The attorney was friendly, straightforward and knowledge
Atty. Jacqueline McClellan kept me up to date on all the proceedings of my case. She also helped to steer me towards better conclusions when it came to divisions of property and parenting time.
Hello my name is Vera And If I could give 10 stars I would. I want to share my experience that I had with Attorney Nina. My first approach with Nina I was wreak, I was nervous and scared and with anything or anyone new you always have doubts but I was shown otherwise by Nina, she went over and beyond for me and I couldn’t thank her enough today. I know the long nights and early mornings wasn’t just a lawyer selling herself she was the lawyer that stood on business and meant what she said. Nina went over and beyond she’s very knowledgeable, Honest, Ethical and very direct. Im very grateful that I found Nina. This experience had its ups and downs but she was always there every step with me. I want to thank her and her Firm a million times for the outstanding work I received from one of the best attorneys. Thank you Nina for everything.
Thank you Ryan Shope for helping me out during this hard process in the dissolution of my marriage. Communication is key and Sterling Lawyers and staff know that and are really good and keeping up with the case and communication is smooth and they will listen and take action based on the concerns you will have. I will 100% recommend Sterling Lawyers!
Competent, trustworthy, same mind

My experience with Sterling was very positive. Katie was on top of everything and we collected many wins during my trials.
I would not recommend Ryan Shope to a friend or family member. Please see my reply below.
I selected Sterling based on the organization’s track record, attorneys’ bios, and educational background. Unfortunately, Ryan’s services did not meet my needs nor did they match her evaluation/bio. When submitting my financial affidavit on time, I assumed the opposing side would do the same at the requested time. I also assumed these documents would be evaluated to determine missing items. I received the counterparty’s document a week after the deadline and I discovered that he listed Bank of America as his bank; however, Credit Union One was listed on his paystub as the source of his direct deposit. I followed up with Ryan requesting these documents. By this time, the opposing side had the advantage of reviewing my financials. When asked for options, I was told litigation would require us both to submit seven years of financials.
Without Ryan’s direction/suggestion, I reached out to a private investigator where it was revealed the counterparty was cohabiting with his partner. Thanks to my reach, maintenance is no longer a financial obligation for me. When I asked if this is something Sterling conducted, I was told: “Many conduct this on their own”. It would be helpful for Sterling to recommend this; it cost me $100 to save years of a potential financial obligation.
Lastly, when I provided an amount for a second offer, I was told it would take a week for Ryan to update the first offer and return it to me for review. I asked “Ryan, are you saying it will take a week to update one number”, she replied, “I will return the final document to you in a few days”.
Honestly, when I first signed up for all of this it all seemed like a fairly quick process. They pretty much guaranteed my mother and me that due to the circumstances that were in place at the time, this divorce was going to be over within a few months, and given all of the articulable facts, in this case, it should have been a “Slam Dunk”. But it was not, and I feel like somewhere along the line the ball was dropped and this should not have taken this long considering the $$ that was spent. So honestly I would give it a 5 or 6/10. Jacqueline was helpful but I don’t think my case was executed with a sense of urgency and then when Phase 1 ended, they had the nerve to try to charge me an extra $10k… For what? No thank you
Excellent throughout my divorce!
I like the whole concept. Very attentative. Talked with me multiple times. Very compationate. Definitely found the right lawyer.
Nina Kelly was excellent. Made what I experienced very easy and manageable. Thank you for your help

My priority was QUICK. She was able to accomplish that for me. Divorced in less than 4 weeks!
I would recommend Katie 10/10 times. I feel that she had an excellent grasp of the relevant law, a sensible approach to conflicted matters, and plenty of experience to support her positions.
I felt my question was a basic, procedural question, that shouldn’t have required more than a base understanding of statute yet it cost 100s of dollars and much time to answer. This is a BIG problem in America. Simple question (what is the default placement for kids if my becomes medically incapacitated?). My original lawyer didn’t answer… you accepted payment to answer and even then didn’t have an answer readily available. This despite my asking the same question in the initial intake. It’s a racket.
I rate Ryan Shope’s work a 10. She is very professional and has very good communication skills which is what I was looking for In a lawyer. Even though my case was a mutual agreement she processed all the paperwork in a timely matter which my case went through fast. Best of all took my concerns in matter to my case.
I will definitely recommend Ryan Shope and the Sterling Law Firm to anyone. You guys were amazing!
Ms. Ali & her team was so compassionate & did a remarkable job as being my attorney. I loved her character and support throughout my case. Once again Thank Ali and her team for a job well done. Cornelia J. Smith
I’ve had nothing but a positive experience from start to finish. I feel like I had plenty of time to explain my situation fully during the consult, whereas other firms I’ve called wanted to get to the cost before I had any questions answered, this was a completely different experience. We had a great and informative conversation and the cost was discussed when I felt ready for it. Then my lawyer Ali Isroff and her paralegal Danielle were great! Communication and getting everything filed was super easy. I put off my divorce for a while and with how easy everything was, I wish I would have done it a long time ago. Yeah a lawyer is going to be expensive, but I tried doing it myself and things got way too complicated and I was terrified that I would mess it up. I also really appreciated the fixed rate because I wasn’t constantly worrying or wondering how much every detail and interaction would cost me. Appreciate you guys!
Great service
phenomenal lawyer, was very on top of everything and made the entire process easy for me to understand.
