They walked me through this process. I Did feel at some points things were strung along longer than they should have been. It took over a month for a custody agreement to be submitted when that was the one thing my ex and I had written out through an app in detail. I needed a couple continuous’s. After the custody agreement was in play at end of August I was told that we should be finalized by end of September. But that’s when things moved a little slower. They did give me a two week extension but in that two weeks I felt like answers took longer also. In the end we we got it done the day in needed to be done but I did feel like it was a little rushed because it felt like at times things were dragged on. We started the process beginning of July and finalized beginning of November. But overall I was happy with the way things were handled. Reyna Herrera with the help of Katie VanDeusen were very helpful.

I worked with Atty Henderson for the last year. She helped me through a divorce I wanted to keep cordial, and was unfortunately more contentious. Atty Henderson kept her composure through all aspects of my divorce. She helped me get the right outcome for me and my daughter, and she's made it clear that I can continue to reach out to her if I need any additional support in the future. I know I'm in good hands now and in the future if I need anything else.

I cannot say enough positive things about Nikole Messerschmidt. From the very first consultation, she demonstrated exceptional professionalism, deep legal knowledge, and genuine compassion. Divorce is an incredibly stressful and emotional process, and Nikole consistently made me feel heard, supported, and confident in every step forward. She is strategic, thorough, and incredibly responsive—always taking the time to explain options clearly and honestly, without ever making me feel rushed or dismissed. Nikole balances fierce advocacy with calm reassurance, which was exactly what I needed during such a difficult time. Her attention to detail and commitment to protecting my best interests truly set her apart. Most importantly, Nikole leads with integrity and empathy. She understands not just the legal complexities of divorce, but the human side of it as well. If you are looking for a divorce attorney who is intelligent, compassionate, and relentlessly dedicated to her clients, I wholeheartedly recommend Nikole Messerschmidt. She is an absolute standout in her field.

I contacted Sterling Law because of reviews like these. For complete honesty, I was asked to offer a review as a way of giving thanks, but I do so in accordance with my actual feelings. Genuine appreciation and gratitude. I was getting divorced, I was lost, I was not in the best mental space. I was thinking of handling the process myself. I am so grateful that I instead reached out, and even more grateful that I was assigned Tiffany Vogel as my attorney. But I first want to talk about the consultation. I met with Donnetta Vanderhoeven, who was sympathetic, honest, clear and direct. She was one of the reasons I decided to go with Sterling. She made me feel like I knew what I was getting into. I also liked the flat fee structure. I didn't have to worry about sending an email that cost $350 because I was charged an hour and a typo or miscommunication meant $350 more for a clarifying email. I ended up being quoted a price that was more expensive than I would have liked, but, I also didn't really know what divorces could cost. In the end I felt comfortable with the law offices, the honesty during the consultation and that I would be represented well. Immediately I felt that I had made the right choice. My emails were responded to promptly, and I was given good advice while my wishes were heard and respected. As my case moved toward a settlement agreement, they remembered my preferences and worked to help me understand what was standard, and helped keep a level head. AND THEN when the details of the agreement were clear, I was returned money. I received a refund because my actual costs were less than the amount I had prepaid. I don't think many lawyers operate with that fidelity to honesty. I would have never known if they had just kept the excess amount. It says a lot about the character of Tiffany Vogel and the Law offices of Sterling Lawyers LLC. I don't plan on getting divorced again and I don't wish it on anyone, but if you are going through the agony of separating from someone you once loved, do yourself a favor and hand the process to Sterling. They alleviate much of the legal grind so I could focus on moving on and moving forward. God Bless

From the first day I met Attorney Jack Braaten I knew I would be in good hands. Jack had a genuine concern with my case and made sure I understood what he was talking about, what my options were and what was the best direction to go. Jack went above and beyond to close the case and reassured me he would be there to answer any questions I might have. I would strongly recommend Jack to anyone who was needing an attorney who would be there for them.

Jack has been nothing short of amazing. Thoroughly reviewing all the prior aspect of my case. Prioritizing what’s best for not just me, but the situation as a whole. Any worries I had of not getting communication or wondering what’s coming next were quickly thrown out the window. Jack and his teams communication is extraordinary. From start to finish I felt taken care of and understood. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone having worries yesterday!

From opening phone call to closing emails, the entire staff at Sterling has gone that extra mile. The persistent contact by everyone went well above my expectations. When I was wavering on what coverage to get I wasn’t steered into the most expensive option but what worked for me. I was given a more detailed breakdown and worries quickly vanished. I know all cases are different but my work was completed within the 120 days and I couldn’t be happier with how things turned out. The entire staff worked hard to complete the work early and to me surprise and delight my worries about paying to much were also tossed out the window. As they even have someone double checking the work and had determined the work was done and paid for. I would recommend Sterling to anyone who will listen. Sterling Law isn’t your everyday firm. Not looking at the best interest for their pocket, they look at the best interests for your family. The entire staff has my gratitude in this life and the next. I will never have enough words for my experience with Sterling law, may God bless you all!

I don’t even know where I’d be without Andria. She has stood by me through one of the most stressful, emotional, and important situations of my life. She listens, she cares, and she fights for what’s right. She never makes me feel like “just another case”; she treats me like a human being who matters. Her compassion and strength have helped me hold myself together when everything felt overwhelming. I’m endlessly grateful for her.

I had Nina Kelly as my divorce lawyer at Sterling Law through a prepaid legal plan during a very difficult time. The prepaid plan was up front and honest about cost and notified long before a withdrawal was to be made. This way was so much better for me because I could not write a blank check not knowing how much everything would cost. Nina Kelly was honest, patient, and truly listened to me. She was able to text me, email me and call me as much as possible and vice versa all included in the prepaid plan. (rare). She never made me feel rushed or dismissed, and she treated me with real care and respect explained everything in detail. I am very grateful for her guidance and would confidently recommend Nina Kelly and Sterling Law to anyone who needs a compassionate yet strong divorce attorney!

Your firm is professional, caring, make it easy and comfortable to interact with your processes from inquiry to initial intake. I LOVE that your fees are given up front and no hidden fees-this helps me to be able to budget and plan for paying and move forward without worrying in the back of my mind, how much more this is going to cost me. Eliminating the additional stress for me in an already stressful situation! Angela, your Paralegal–I cannot begin to say enough about her explaining the process, her caring and kind demeanor in listening and understanding where I was. The assurance she gave me that Sterling can help me and is experienced in the areas of my concern during this extremely difficult decision-making time for me! I also love that I was able to share my information, my questions for an attorney when I am ready to move forward, and without the pressure to do so until I am ready. The encouragement to speak with my family after the holidays, about what has been happening; so together, as a family we can walk through this and decide our next steps as a family. Thank you.
