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.
