Nichole was determined and very knowledgeable of all court proceedings . When I didn’t understand some of the court lingo she was able to dumb it down for me and make me aware of what was going on. Nichole was great to work with I told her what my goals were and what I wanted to get out of the proceeding and she was determined to make that happen . (And she did make it happen) I would highly recommend Nichole on anyone’s case !! I’m very satisfied with all the work Nichole put into my case !!

I had a good experience; communication timeliness was perfect.

I ask to stop my ex wife from getting money out of my check and it worked thank you so , now I can move on

They never made promises they couldn't keep, and helped me understand everything.

My experience was good. I never even met my attorney, but my case was a little different. We did everything over the phone. It all went well.

Maureen Black handled my case and by far provided the best experience I've had in family law. She was constantly available through email and phone. I will definitely be recommending to anyone going through this.

After talking to Tobias today, I left Sterling feeling relieved. He answered all of my questions and wasn’t worried about taking the extra time to address all of my concerns. Thank you!

The emotional part of getting divorced is hard enough in and of itself. Add to that figuring out the process of getting divorced which feels complicated and one ends up feeling confused. I reached out to Sterling Law Offices and received a personal call back from one of the executive partners asking how he could best meet my needs. I wasn't looking for mediation or an attorney to necessarily represent me. What I was searching for was guidance. They were willing to tailor something just for me to help me navigate the process of what to file and when. I was very grateful to have someone listen and really hear me.

For a divorce mediation i feel i could have done better on my own. Our lawyer was unresponsive to the point of not receiving responses from her for up to a month. Was charged about $5000 for a total of 8 hours of working with this person. Truthfully, the lawyer pretty much only filed the court paperwork which i had already filled out on my own. I don't know who these other folks dealt with that they felt this organization is worthy of 5 stars, but it certainly wasn't the lawyer we've been handed. I will never recommend Sterling Law to anyone.

My experience with Nikole and the firm was great – I would recommend Nikole to anyone going through a divorce . If there is any additional information you need from me, please let me know.

I would not recommend this law firm to anyone who values a business standing behind its word/contract, confidentiality of personal information or being treated with respect. I hired Sterling a little more than one year ago. Not until recently did I discover my original Sterling lawyer, who is no longer with this firm, did not file any Stage 1 documents for my divorce – documents I provided more than 8 months prior. Nor did they negotiate with my ex's attorney. The stage one documents – financials and MSA – were only pointed out as missing by the judge overseeing my divorce. Embarrassing to say the least – to be caught off guard like that. Moreover, the next attorney that was assigned to me by Sterling sent me personal identification and financial information of another couple filing for divorce! After this, I could not trust Sterling law, so I terminated my relationship with Sterling and retaining new counsel. But in the end, what I'm most disgusted by is attorney Jeff Hughes of Sterling. He is nothing short of a misogynist – going as far as to slut shame me via email after I attempted to discuss a refund for services not completed by the firm in the Stage 1, as laid out in the firm's contract. This man has something seriously wrong with his heart, and needs to adjust his attitude towards women. Or at the least, take note of the #metoo movement.

Absolutely would recommend Nikole and Sterling. Most of the time I would just communicate via email, and even the times when I would receive an out of office reply, she would still reply back to me within an hour. She was always on top of things, and ensured the process moved along quickly. It was the piece of mind I got from her, and all the staff at Sterling.

Very knowledgeable staff, with great communication at all times. The flat fee pricing is one of the main reasons I went with them. Had enough to worry about, money was not one of them.

I dealt with Katie Vandeusen whilst going through a painful divorce. Katie guided me from start to finish, presenting me with options to get through the process as painlessly as is possible. She was highly professional and knowledgeable. She is also extremely prompt. I would highly recommend her!

Kathy was an awesome lawyer, much better than the previous one I had with you guys.

Hi, Kathy Curran was a very good attorney. I enjoyed working with her.

Please check around with other lawyers. After dishing out nearly $4,000.00 for barely any service I'm told my lawyer needs another $4,000 for phase 2. Really what the hell did I get for Phase 1. when I asked for a brief description on what work was perfor

Thank you all so much, I will always highly recommend Sterling Law Offices.

At the beginning of my divorce I had never felt so scared, alone and unsure of my future. Sitting in the office of Sterling Law all I could do was stare at the floor wondering what was going to happen to my children and myself. I met with Toby that afternoon for my initial consultation and I can honestly say I walked out feeling a bit better. Toby and I not only had a discussion about divorce, he listened to me and I left knowing they had my back and I wasn't alone. Derek Allen went above and beyond throughout the entire process, he answered all of my questions promptly, even calling at 5:30 a.m. when he knew that was the only time I could talk. I felt comfortable asking him to explain something again if I didn't understand and I never felt like we had to rush through meetings because we were on a “clock”. The flat fee system that is used is a great way to go through this, everything is up front and very fair. Tristan also stepped up and helped with my divorce. She is a wonderful person to work with and treats people like they should be treated, with respect. I saw both sides of the spectrum during my divorce, the people at Sterling Law Office who are professional, caring and a true class act…and my ex wife's attorney who I felt was an embarrassment to herself. Thank you all for getting me through this, I consider you my friends.

I think Katie did the best she could on the case, and she maintained her knowledge of what was going on despite having to go on maternity leave. The case was ongoing for a while and there was a change in situation that potentially could have given us more leverage in the current stage. I do not think this was part of Katie's doing, but moreso the firm's policies. I did not think it was right to introduce additional fixed fees in the middle of the court case, but Katie did do a good job of avoiding the continuation of stage 3 full hearing. Katie did give me an early notification before the case started that we could possibly split case 3, but there was no mention that additional fixed fees could be incurred in stage 2. I would have thought the fixed fees would stay the same, even if new events unfolded in stage 2, especially if it was to our advantage of leveraging the case. Overall, I would still continue trusting and hiring Katie as my attorney, but I do question the fixed fee structure as additional charges were incurred.

Part 1 & 2 (included in a word doc is praise to Shannon which is pasted in here as part 2) Email part 1-You might regret asking me for more details on my experience. Once I got started it was hard to keep it short. The first part is related to how Shannon Alberts helped me though this awful situation that no one aged 69 should have to face. The last part consists of a suggestion to help future clients as they go through the whole process. I’ve attached a word document of the following comments to this email. Part 2 from doc-
Shannon (Alberts) was a blessing to me. I was in shock during the first month after my ex-wife’s unexpected decision to divorce. Shannon did an excellent job in keeping me calm when faced with an opposing counsel that was unreachable, late in meeting deadlines and arrogant. I would do everything possible to meet the deadlines for documents, completion of the financial disclosure statements, and arranging to be in court on specified dates and times, only to be faced with the opposition’s delays. Shannon reassured me that things would be okay as we worked through 6 months of waiting for the other side. I was very frustrated, but Shannon kept her cool and helped me to do so as well. Her advice to drop the little things and get the divorce finalized was one I resisted but now I am very glad I listened to her. The one thing I am still am regretting is not fighting harder to have access to our dog or having visiting rights. It is sad that I miss the little one more than the wife.

“My attorneys were unprofessional and unprepared. Zero time was spent negotiating on my behalf, and necessary forms were never submitted to the court, causing delays in my case. Sterling then tried to charge me for “Stage 2″ of my divorce, when no work had yet to be done for Stage 1, and the need to go to Stage 2 was solely because of their negligence. I opted to discontinue services with SLO and appeared without representation at my last hearing, at which the judge verbally lashed me for not having any of the necessary forms submitted, a service I paid SLO to complete. They did not do their jobs. When I reached out to the managing partner, asking for a reasonable amount refunded to me, (not all of what I paid as I understand that I do need to pay for the services that were rendered, but do not feel I should pay for services that were promised but never completed) I was responded to with belittling, mysogynistic condescension. Overall, my experience was terrible, and the response I received back was frankly insulting. SLO does not care about you as a human being. They only care about your money. Do not choose them.”

The attorney's and staff at Sterling Law Offices have been fantastic! Not only do they provide exemplary services, they also are experts with a large knowledge base, do their utmost for their clients and have never treated me like a number!!! They have guided me through each and every step of the way and have treated me like a human being!!! It is great to have them at my back!!!

Maureen was very unprofessional. She never made recommendations in my custody hearings and would only ask me if I agreed with my child’s mother/her lawyer or the GAL’s recommendations. I advised Maureen in the beginning that I have learning disabilities a

Attorney Erin Boyd was very good. She was professional and helped me to understand my rights. Overall, very good and I have no complaints.
