What Our Illinois Clients Say
Working with Nina Kelley and her associates has been a blessing during one of the hardest chapters of my life. Nina was there every step of the way. She was professional, patient, and always willing to explain things in a way I could understand. She fought hard for me when it mattered, but she also listened when I was overwhelmed and guided me through the process with reassurance. Legal battles are never easy, and mine felt especially heavy, but Nina made sure I never felt alone in it. I’m grateful for all the work she put in to help me reach the outcome I needed. If you’re looking for someone who will stand by your side and truly care about your case, I can’t recommend Nina Kelley enough.
Where do I even begin? Words can’t fully describe how grateful I am for Cynthia Toscano and the Sterling Hughes Law Group. Choosing Cynthia to represent me during my divorce was by far the best decision I could have made. She reassured me every step of the way and truly exceeded all of my expectations. Cynthia kept me consistently updated on my case—whether by email, text, or phone call—and made sure I was never left in the dark. What stood out the most was her personal dedication: whenever I reached out, I always heard back directly from her, not an assistant. That level of commitment and communication made an incredibly difficult process so much easier to handle. I can’t thank Cynthia enough for her professionalism, compassion, and unwavering support. I would highly recommend her and the Sterling Hughes team to anyone in need of outstanding legal representation.

Five stars! Nina was amazing from start to finish. Always made me feel comfortable, calmed me down when things got crazy and never gave up. She was always there to take my call (even if she didn’t answer) or call me back the next morning. Even after hours, she was there. Dumb question, good questions, I could always count on her. And when the negotiations really started, she was a bull. Never took any crap and put my now ex in her place. Can’t say enough good about her. Recommend her to everyone
Ryan
Nina was amazing! Thank you so much for stepping in and getting me through a very tough time. There for me every second of the day keeping me calm and relaxed. Never once putting me off, not responding or not giving me her full attention. Always kept things in what I like to call truck driver language. Hope no one has to go through a messy divorce, but if you are in that spot, call Nina!!

While I don’t wish divorce on anyone, Lea Diaz and Cynthia Toscano were there during this time of need and were very helpful every step of the way. Thanks for your effort and thorough work through out the whole process.
Cynthia was responsive and fully detailed with my questions. We had numerous lags and a few revision requests by other party that she remained patient and explained next steps thoroughly thus far. I would definitely recommend her.
She is great when you ask questions. I’ve never had to use a lawyer before (except for a will) so not sure truly what this should all look like or be. In this situation, I do wish there was a bit more inside info – like what things mean and how things are going to work from the start. A sort of a basic overview/template but with some caveats of possibilities just so the client could be more prepared. I was hoping for a bit more guidance through the process. But I also understand that she is a lawyer not a therapist – it’s just a scary situation for the client (at least for me) and having any preparation for what “might” be coming or will come would be helpful.
I’m so pleased I chose Sterling Law Offices to represent me in my divorce. I interviewed at least four law firms in hopes of finding the right fit, and I was actually about to put down a retainer elsewhere when I came across Sterling Law’s website at the final hour. I was immediately impressed by the sheer number of five-star reviews and decided to schedule one last consultation — and I’m so glad I did. From the very beginning, Sterling Law stood out. The initial consultation was thorough and professional, and the timely responses, organization, and overall professionalism of the team truly impressed me. I knew right away that this was the team I wanted on my side. They paired me with Nina, and she has been phenomenal. From the start, she was patient, knowledgeable, understanding, and clearly experienced. She took the time to actively listen to my situation and built a strategy tailored to my specific needs. Nina and the entire team came across as honest and full of integrity — something I deeply appreciated during such a personal and emotional time. Divorce can be hard, confusing, and incredibly uncomfortable. But Nina made me feel supported, informed, and secure every step of the way. I would wholeheartedly recommend Sterling Law and especially Nina to anyone going through a divorce. I now understand why they have over 10,000 reviews — and why so many of them are five stars.
My attorney Nina was an incredible support during this process. Extremely knowledgeable, supportive, and attentive.

professional and courtesy
Good response time
You asked very detailed questions that made sure all aspects were taken into account.
First interaction went well. Waiting to see follow up
Ryan was extremely professional and refreshingly respectful. They were able to explain legal terms and processes in a way that the average person would be able to understand entirely. You could definitely feel (even through a video call) how much they care about not only their clients but just the well-being of those they represent and those that may be affected by the case. I'm extremely glad that I waited as long as I did to start this process so I could Ensure that I was able to find the best person and also law office to represent that which I am trying to achieve. Will definitely recommend again if anyone asks for an opinion or reference. It was definitely a little expensive, but I feel as though it was and will be worth every penny spent.
Attorney Cynthia was very professional from the very beginning. She was very kind, she heard everything I said & when I wasn't able to explain myself, she still understood what I meant to say. Opening up to her was very easy. She was very informative & clear on how the process would be. Iwould 100% recommend Attorney Cynthia Toscano.
Every person I talked to was kind. They're very professional & respectful.
Ali did keep driving to get the divorce completed, especially when the other side was slow to respond and did get a good agreement.
Knowledgeable and professional experts
Wasn't the right fit for me, but everyone was great. Just circumstance and timing was off.
Jacqueline McClellan simply came through in a pinch. She was so easy to work with, had a positive demeanor and made time in a very last minute scenario for a meeting when I'm certain her schedule didn't necessarily align for it. Additionally, she gave sound advice on a contracting process surely helped to guide me in the right direction in how to move forward in that process.
She had great knowledge and subject matter expertise to help navigate through the strategy sessions effectively. I would definitely recommend her.
Very warm and compassionate. She really listened and I felt heard.
