I had a great experience working with Attorney Mrs. Toscano from Sterling Lawyers LLC on my child support case. She was very professional, knowledgeable, and supportive throughout the entire process. She took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I understood what was happening every step of the way. I truly appreciated her dedication and the effort she put into helping me reach the best outcome for my situation and my children. I’m very grateful for her help and would highly recommend.

Working with Nina Kelly and the team at Sterling Law Offices was the best decision I could have made during a divorce. As a Senior Partner, Nina brings a level of expertise and strategic thinking. She managed to balance high-level legal advocacy while protecting my interests. Her communication was always clear, and timely. If you are looking for an attorney who navigates the complexities of family law with absolute precision, I cannot recommend Nina Kelly highly enough

My parenting situation was incredibly difficult, but the entire court process—from the trial to every meeting—was made surprisingly smooth thanks to Ryan and her paralegal. Anytime I needed anything, Ryan made sure I had it right away. She was always prompt, professional, and confidently direct when it mattered. I came into this not understanding the court system at all, but Ryan took the time to explain every step in detail so I never felt confused or uncertain. She truly made sure I understood what was happening and what to expect next. I’ve never had someone advocate for my rights the way Ryan did. She helped put together a clear plan so I always knew what was coming before it even happened. While hiring an attorney is an investment, it was absolutely worth it—the final court order turned out exactly how I had hoped, and Ryan made sure of that. I know people who spent years trying to finalize their cases, but with Sterling Lawyers, the process was organized and efficient. You’re given a clear plan and always know where you stand in the system. Ryan, thank you for helping bring my daughter back home. I’m incredibly grateful. If I ever need family court help again, I will absolutely return to Ryan and will recommend her to everyone I know.

Nina Kelly and the rest of the Sterling Lawyers are excellent. I was going through my divorce for about a year and realized my former counsel was just accepting all terms from opposing counsel. I ultimately needed to fire them given their inexperience, and hired Nina Kelly who was terrific and helped get the divorce through to the finish line. At the end of the day, no one is happy with the outcome of a divorce, but Nina did the best she could to help me. My Allocation Judgment was poorly negotiated by my former counsel, but I will hire Sterling again to amend in the coming months. Highly recommend!

Sterling Lawyers assisted me during my divorce mediation process, and every interaction I had with the firm, from my initial consultation with legal assistant Donnetta Vanderhoeven to my post-mediation session check-ins with senior associate Ryan Shope, was both supportive and informative. Ryan in particular was exactly the calm but firm voice of reason that I needed to navigate my divorce mediation.
