Shannon Alberts was my lawyer. I hired her in the fall and my divorce case is being resolved now. Getting responses to emails was always a problem and she didn’t force the opposing attorney to provide updated financial records during our final mediation even though we had several hundreds of thousands of dollars of investments allowing my husband to under report his investments considerably.

I hope no one I know has to use your services, but if they need a mediator I would send them to your company. Nicole kept us focused and on point.

I will not be taking my ex husband to court so I lose the money that he owes me and I am out the $350 that your organization took from me (that I borrowed from my 75 year old mother

Responsiveness

A lot of money and felt like it didn?t do anything for my family

I believe that Sterling Law Offices is a competent law firm with highly educated individuals. They have the right answers to your questions in the matter of law. But that's not all I was looking for when I sought an attorney. I wanted to hire peace of mind, the knowledge that someone is fighting for me. That's not what I received. Instead I felt like I was arguing against the attorney I worked with at Sterling (whom I will choose not to name in this review); at this point, I was still ready to leave them a 5-star review if things were rectified. But when I made my opinion known to the owners of the firm, I was swiftly met with opposition via email. Never a phone call or further questions about my interpretation of what happened. This review wouldn't be here if it did; in fact, the 1-star rating is strictly representative of the response I received from ownership. I expected, especially from a law firm, to be heard out, to be allowed the chance to find a reasonable solution to my circumstances, and to be able to move forward with dignity and grace. Instead I was offered 10% of my retainer (over $5,000) for a case that is, at best, 60% complete (that's my personal opinion) and a stipulation to withdraw from the engagement. Those are the facts, I'll let you draw the conclusion about whether to hire them.

She helped me get custody of my son and be able to move out of state with him. From beginning to end she was on top of my phone calls and emails. Always kept me up to date on all court requests and paperwork. I couldn't thank her enough for what she did.

A competent, thorough, responsive law office. Katie V. helped coach me through a very long divorce, and she saw things which previous 2 lawyers had missed. My divorce case was complicated, and she could clearly see the kind of person I was dealing with. She settled my fears and prepared me for what may lay ahead for me and my son for the future. I wish I had started with Katie V. to begin with. Sterling Law Offices would have saved me $20,000 in lawyers fees and a lot of headaches and heartaches. I am so grateful I had the gumption to leave a narcissist when I did, and even more grateful that Katie V. convinced me to keep forging ahead. She is an amazing lawyer, and coach–like a life coach–and if I ever need anything again, I will always call her.

As with most people, I never expected to be in a situation of ending my marriage of 20 years but I will forever be glad to have found Sterling Law, and in particular Chelsea Gatterman, to handle my case. There were no hidden fees and everything that was stated in the consult was completed how it was stated that it would be completed._x000D_

Review of Sterling_x000D_
I don’t have a ton to say about Sterling in particular as I found that 99% of my interactions had to do with my attorney solely and not necessarily Sterling. I really dont have any negative to say about the practice in general._x000D_

Review of Chelsea Gatterman_x000D_
I just happened to have been placed with Chelsea when I booked my consult. In hindsight I could not have been more lucky. Chelsea was understanding, honest and calm from the very beginning. I knew that I wanted to take the “high road” in a fairly negative divorce and it was apparent to me from the beginning of the process that Chelsea was an honest attorney looking to do things the right way. Her communication was impeccable, and I was always able to contact her and she was very quick to respond. I never felt as though I was receiving any less than her full attention when we were speaking or dealing with issues._x000D_

I can not recommend Attorney Gatterman any more highly.

No issues at this time.

I am very grateful that I chose to have co-counsel representation from Attorneys Jeff Morrell, Genelle Johnson and Shannon Alberts for my divorce. From the first time that I met with them, I knew they were the team that I wanted representing me. It was very easy to see that they each have very unique talents and worked together so well that I felt they would leave nothing overlooked. I wanted someone that cared enough that they would be willing to REALLY fight for us. I found that with Jeff, Genelle and Shannon and will be forever grateful. They took the time to explain the court processes that I did not understand and also prepared me for the next steps. I appreciated the tiered pricing, knowing that I could contact them at any time, with any question, and without being charged an extra fee. Divorce is hard. I will forever be grateful for the outcome that Jeff, Genelle and Shannon made happen for my kids and me.

I worked with Nikole Messerschmidt. Best decision I made in the case. I wrote her a personal review as well. Great attorney, and more than that just a great person to work with. Highly recommend!

Toby and his team were professionals and made the situation go as smoothly as possible. They were there to answer questions and helped every step of the way.

I walked into sterling law office knowing in my head what I wanted but it felt so out of reach. Toby made that dream come true and our family will forever be indebted to him. These guys go above and beyond to make sure you’re informed every step of the way and truly care about their clients. Couldn’t be more happy to have hired Toby and sterling law office as they get things done!

In a time when things were pretty difficult, Nikole was the best attorney I could have asked for. She listened, she understood, but what mattered mostly for me was the fact that she cared. She made my concerns her own, and had the knowledge, expertise, and experience to take so much of the weight I had off my shoulders and handle things for me incredibly professionally. She actually went above and beyond to be helpful which also made a huge difference ..not just for me but for my case. It sounds canned to hear myself say it, but I would strongly recommend her to anyone I know, and wouldn’t even consider working with anyone else should I need an attorney again. I understand that choosing an attorney is hard, as I went through the same process of selection as anyone likely reading this review is doing. All I can say is that I feel really lucky to have made a great right choice with Nikole, and it went great ..enough for me to sit and write an online review, which isn’t exactly my thing ..at all. So to Nikole , thank you again for all your work, and to anyone in need of an attorney reading this ..give her a call!
