I first reached out the Sterling Law Offices over a year ago, as I was in the initial phases of a divorce and needed help as I was in way over my head. I had an initial consultation with Jeff Morrell, who immediately pointed out ways he could assist and address what seemed like insermountable issues in my case. From day one, Jeff made a significant impact in my case, and continues to support me with the intensity as when he first started. He has always been upfront and honest with me. If you are looking for a Family Law office, I highly reccomend and urge anyone with questions to reach out to Jeff!!! Thank you Jeff!!!

Highly recommend Attorney Chelsea Gatterman. Professional, friendly, and gets things done!!

Just hoping this can move along soon.

I can't justify the cost for no guarantee of the final outcome. Consultation didnt match the agreement in price either. And your law firm is twice as expensive as every other I've talked to. Now its too late. I'll go without legal representation.

Toby Kinsler was extremely helpful. I had set up a Coaching Session with him, which my ex and I attended online (mindful of social distancing guidelines). He answered questions from the both of us thoroughly and helped us through our paperwork struggles with a speedy efficiency. Mr. Kinsler also gave us good advice that will hopefully help speed along the divorce process more quickly for us. Additionally, the resources he provided us were extremely helpful. Divorce is a tough process. Mr. Kinsler made it easier for both of us. It is clear he is very dedicated to his work and follows through on his promises. I would recommend anybody who is struggling with the divorce process to work with him and Sterling Law Offices.

Attorney Jeff Morrell is one of the worst lawyers. Little response to emails, texts, calls, on the rare occasion that he does response it is very contradictory. Do Not use this attorney or Sterling law. They will just one day decide not to represent you. They left us and our daughter unprotected from the legal system. If you want help go to another.

Attorney Hannah Smet, has great business practices and ethics. In a short amount of time, you know Hannah’s purpose is to help people with their legal issues and dilemmas, as was my situation. My Judgment was transferred ‘out of state’ to Wisconsin, where the father’s residence was. Until I spoke to Hannah, I had little hope of collecting on the Judgment. My attorney and others said, “Good Luck in collecting”, since it was a case, transferred ‘out of state’._x000D_

I appreciate everything Hannah has done for me.

My meeting was scheduled with Ellen, but as I was waiting for my consultation, Chelsea walked in saying there was a change and she will be my attorney. I immediately felt like I a burden, she didn't seem too interested in what I had to say, but I trusted she would help me, considering the conversation I has when calling to schedule the consultation. That is when we discussed my case is a high conflict one and the receptionist said they have someone who would definitely be able to assist me with my case. From that point forward, I was left in the dark, there was hardly any communication, I was given incorrect information, I would have to call when there were multiple emails she wouldn't respond to. I had provided everything she needed to represent me well, but she hardly spoke to me, and didn't ask any questions. The meeting we had before the hearing was becauseI had pushed for it, and she didn't tell me anything at the meeting. She was on her computer, on the opposite side of the table typing, but what? The meeting was useless and I asked her why we had the meeting, and she didnt have much of an answer. We discussed early on that there was a bit of a contradiction in my requests, but why did she and I not discuss that before the hearing? AFTER the hearing she mentioned this and u asked why on earth did we not have a conversation about this? My new lawyer listed to me and knows I have a custody case, and is willing to hear my thoughts as to why placement should change based on the best interest of the kids.

I had an extremely disappointing and maddening experience trying to work with Chrlesa. The first time we met last year, I gave her lots of information, specifics of what I wanted, and gave her lots of documents supporting my affidavit. It took over 6 weeks for my ex-husband to get served because everytime i reached out to Chelsea, she kept saying she was working on it, but t clearly wasn't. She asked me only two or three questions throughout the entire process. She did not communicate with me at all, I had to practically beg for a second meeting with her because the hearing was coming up. We met for an hour, i spoke to her, but she didn't have anything to present to me and typed on her computer, never mentioning anything about the paperwork I gave her or what she had done to prepare. I was seeing modification in child support, custody and placement. She told me to not even try for the latter two. I reachedout to her at some pointasking about he hearing, and she said sorry, I thought Lynne sent that to you. I didn't even know who Lynne was and multiple times told Chelsea I felt in the dark. Walking out ofthe hearing was shocked at how little she said to support my points on the affidavit, in fact, the commissioner got incorrect info because Chelsea had nothing to say to represent me. I told her I wanted to appeal as were walking out of the hearing. She seemed satisfied with my getting a small increase in child support, and encouraged me to drop placement and custody modifications. I asked her what she did for me to help my case and she couldn't answer that question. She kept emailing me to send financial info to his lawyer and would not provide me with the same info. When I first called Sterling, I spoke with someone and asked about experience in handling cases like mine. When I went in for the first time, I had a meeting scheduled with someone else other than Chelsea. I was waiting, fully prepared with all of my documentation, and Chelseawalked in saying she's handling my case instead. Bad, very bad. She acted like she was listening, but as of now I cannot think of a single thing she did for me. She didn't respond to most of my emails, she also said we have 30 days to appeal when it's actually 15 days. Right after the hearing, I said to appeal, and again via email and phone conversation. She put the appeal in on the very last day, only once my new lawyer emailed to confirm because Chelsea was not doing it. In addition to that, Chelsea emailed me after the hearing asking if I wanted to appeal, when I had already made that clear many times, so why didn't she do it? Back to when I requested a meeting with her saying I was uncomfortable with the lack of communication, and she didn't ask any questions, just let me talk. I feel she may have apent an hour on my case total. I had to practically beg for her to connect with me the entire time, andive spoken with many people who know my situationandshared with them the commissioners report. Every single one of them absolutelycannot believe it, I100% could have represented myself much better on my own. She wanted me to settle on everythingand discouraged me to try for custody and placement, when I actuallyhave a good casefor both. I asked Chelsea if you could perhaps get involved for more assistance, but she said that wouldn't work. Anothernote about exchangingfinancial info, Chelsea wanted me to stop asking for the same things that I had already provided to his lawyer per her request. She had no paperworkat the hearing, was going off a whim, and stated things that I would not have said- in fact, her inaccurate statements in a failed attempt to represent me has hurt my case because now I need to prove what she said has no relevance and must prove the REAL reasons for change. She blew me off from day one and I would still love to know what she did for me, there has to be notes or something, or maybe there just isn't. I asked multiple times to appeal immediately, asked for the order notes, ANY informationshe could provide. I called Sterling becauseit says the firm isone of the best. Why was Chelsea the oneto handle my case when my appointmentwas with someone else? I'm extremely disappointed, and it was all just a waste of my time. Again, I'm very interestedto know what work she put into my case. I would be more 5han happytoforwardemails as it would show you what my experiencewas like. When I hired a new lawyer,I spent 1 hour on the phone with her, and I was given tons of useful information and exact steps we will be taking. It was that clear to me that she looked thoroughly at the info I sent her. She told me specifically what she wanted from me AND she explained to me exactly what she will be working on. We've talked on the phone several times, and her communication is impressive. I wish I could honestysay that Sterling helped me, but I did not receive any assistance whatsoever, instead I have to dig myself out of the mess from the hearing.

EVEN THIS WEB SITE DOSN'T WORK. CALL ME MY # 920-209-4785 I hope you are better then the lawers I got.

So far so good but my case is still pending so I will see how it goes and how my lawyer gets the job done.

Honestly, ours was a super tough divorce to work through, with kids involved, and planned placement very far from one parent. Going into it, I never thought we’d be able to mediate our way to an okay outcome for both of us, but Toby was a skilled and respectful professional in handling our emotions and the difficult discussions, and helping us navigate the divorce process. So thankful we chose Sterling!

Sterling helped us through this divorce process, and even though it was stressful, they did a good job, especially our mediator, Toby Kinsler. He is very kindhearted and helpful. The speed at which the divorce is nearing it's end, is much quicker than what they estimated on their website.

Communicaion is a issue

Nikole was wonderful to work with. Helped me answer a lot of questions during a difficult time in my life.
