What Our Illinois Clients Say

Attorney Katie Vandeusen was very personable and professional. I feel that I got the best representation at a very good price. It was apparent to me that my best interest was taken into consideration and knowing that made me feel secure in an outcome that would be fair to all parties concerned. I would highly recommend Attorney Vandeusen to anyone who is looking for competed and supportive legal representation that will get you a just and equitable outcome.

I felt like all my concerns were addressed.

1.I was able to get meetings whenever I needed even if it?s last minute. 2.I liked the Payment plan

I felt comfortable with the interview. Lawyer seems to know what is talking about. Felt very comfortable

Katie was wonderful to work with and made a tough process easier for us. Communication was excellent, she was very responsive, and got this done quickly for us.

I was happy with the option was give and how to proceed

I was warned by friends and family early in my divorce journey “make sure you hire a good attorney”. With that said, I wish I had hired Katie VanDeusen at Sterling Lawyers, LLC years ago. To my own determent, and to the determent of children, my first attorney was terrible. I agreed to things that thought I “had” to agree to (despite having nearly 50/50 custody) that should have never been on paper. As my kids grew older and times changed, the financial burden of original divorce agreement became nearly crippling. My former spouse refused to negotiate outside of court and actually demanded MORE. I approached Katie with my original divorce agreement, and she evaluated it and all the substantial changes that had occurred over the years since the original agreement was filed. She built several arguments around the facts and made a case for a modification. This was not “homework free” on my end. She provided clear directions on actions that I had to take to further prove cohabitation and a modification of child support. Order modification cases can be messy and time consuming and mine was no exception. The fee structure at her firm was a relief…no nickel and diming me for calls and billable hours. For a lump sum, Katie and her team stuck it out with me and were just as responsive on last day as they were on the first. At the end of the day, a strong case was made to end maintenance and modify child support. The facts were presented at pre-trail hearings. Soon after, my former spouse settled outside of court to nearly every one of my demands. This was a huge relief. If you’re looking to get your divorce right the first time, Katie is your person. If you’re look to modify your divorce….run, don’t walk ,to her office for a consultation.

great service! Job well done!

You did a wonderful job

Alli was very kind and informative.

Knowledgeable staff

I appreciated the frank and open conversation.

Ali did a great job representing me. The firm was able to work with me and help me through a challenging time. Thank you!

Ali Isroff was my attorney for my divorce. She was professional and so great & easy to work with. She listened to me, understood my situation and needs and made this whole crazy and emotional process easy for me. I would recommend her and Sterling Lawyers, LLC to anyone dealing with a divorce.

Ali was great to work with and a true partner!

Im not exactly how I stumbled upon Sterling Hughs, LLC, however it could not have been a finer choice. I was represented by attorney Ali Isroff who was nothing short of a personal tiger shark. Not only did she protect and see my best interests through my divorce but she protected me from making foolish emotion-driven errors. If you want professional representation from a solid team  Sterling Hughs, LLC is my top recommendation.

Ali Isroff took on my child custody case, mid way through and all while I had another lawyer, she was considerate, to the point, and practical from the first time we spoke all the way through to the end. I would consider her when choosing a lawyer to fight hard for you and your children. Being a mother of three herself, she totally was on my level with compassion and a sense of knowing exactly what I was going through. What was even more convenient for me was living in WI and Sterling Lawyers, LLC is so broad with locations, they found Ali for me who lives in IL (that is where my court case took place). Ali would contact me immediately before making any decisions on behalf of me, and never forgot any details. Thank you Ali for showing me trust!

The attorney I was assigned was helpful explaining the process all throughout the entire event in ways that made it easy for me to understand. The patience showed was phenomenal. Maximum effort put forth to ensure the final judgment was fair and just. Thus resulting in a very happy client. I would suggest this firm to any married couple that has come to terms with the fact that separation would be best.

I love Katie! She is a terrific representative. She stays on top of the situation, which shows her diligence and dedication to her clients. Would recommend in a heartbeat.

First let me be clear. Ali seems like a very good attorney. She is passionate, knowledgeable and understanding. All things you look for in someone dealing with tough situations like family law. My issue is in the process and few structure. First to charge a $150 for a 4 question intake form, a 7 minute ?consult? (and which ended up just turning into a sales call) is ridiculous. Everyone else has no problem giving g me a quote without a fee. I will always pay for valuable time, this was not. Then to try and convince me my uncontested, no opposing counsel, no kids, no asset, me assuming all debt divorce would be $5,000 is simply insane. I get it. Most people say that have an easy divorce. This one is. I would like my $150 returned to my card unless you guys can come back to reality on how tough things are for people right now and charging twice what every attorney is right now. Thank you for the time and I appreciate the opportunity to express my thoughts. Rk
