What Our Clients Say

Divorce is a tough process, and the unknowns can be overwhelming. I was initially skeptical about Sterling Lawyers, their pricing, and reviews, but after meeting with Jack Braaten, I felt much more at ease. Now, about halfway through my case, I’ve been impressed with his honesty, attention to detail, and willingness to answer my questions. He takes the time to break things down clearly and genuinely seems to care about his clients. I highly recommend Jack for anyone looking for a reliable and straightforward attorney.

I feel things have been smooth, but there could be some greater communication on the timeline and other items to keep me in the loop more

It was a great initial meeting. Only a 6 because I'm waiting to see how much further assistance i get with the concerns i addressed when the time comes

Prefect service. I felt very taken care of and what I needed was brought to life

Very supportive and professional during a rough time

Prompt Service

Very informative, comfortable and approachable attorney

Having the help of Nina Kelly has been the best legal choice I’ve made to handle things for my case. I can’t recommend sterling legal enough. A person thank you for you and the team. You guys as organized, professional yet personable wonderful people. highly recommend

Jeff Morrell was very thorough and very easy to talk to. Not once did he make me feel uncomfortable for the things I had to tell him and made me feel validated in the situation that I’m going through. I am extremely happy to have him represent me.

Austin did an amazing job representing my interests and ensuring that key positions and proposals were framed in a fair and easily-understood way. Because of Austin, we were able to reach an equitable and reasonable conclusion that allowed for both parents to have equal time with the children and input into key decisions impacting the children.\\n\\nI would highly recommend Austin to anyone, especially those whose divorce may be more complex than "typical." He is outstanding, both in his approach to the case and to his client.

Jacqueline made the process easy for me. She answered all of my questions and I feel like from start to finish the process was over very quickly.

I honestly felt so safe and secure in sharing personal information I have not shared with a lot of people. Cynthia was beyond amazing in making me feel comfortable with every topic discussed together. I feel a sense of relieve knowing that I will have the support needed to get through the hardest thing to ever experience. I am so appreciative and feel my prayers have been answered in connecting with Cynthia and look forward to the next steps in our goals together.

I would give Ellen a 10/10 just for putting up with my soon to be ex-wife! All kidding aside, she did an excellent job managing the situation for us and expediting things…although we might have been an easier case then she usually handles \\r\\n\\r\\n \\r\\n\\r\\nI appreciated the good service, patience, and willingness to answer ad-hoc questions….I would simply recommend that she continues doing what she did for us with everyone else that should have been advised to never get married in the first place!

The legal team helped me with my divorce to a very high professional standard. I really appreciated all of the communication and ability to answer my questions in a timely manner when needed. They also worked with me through some rocky times when dealing with issues outside of our control which was very much appreciated.

Nina was extremely helpful along the way, I'm very satisfied

Sterling Law firm has been a great asset for my divorce and child custody/placement. Jack Braaten has been absolutely fantastic. He is patient, very understanding and explains everything so you are able to understand the legal process. He shows great concern for his clients and wants to make sure he is doing his best to get what his clients want. Definitely would and will recommend him for anyone going through the same processes.

Ali Isroff and her team at Sterling Lawyers, LLC provided the support and advocacy I needed during a difficult time. I felt listened to and empowered to make the right choice for me and my kids. They communicated clearly with me every step of the way. Worth every penny.

I was very satisfied with the service I received from Sterling Law. Everyone was very helpful and supportive. My attorney Nina was always ready to assist me with any concerns I have.

My attorney Abigail Henderson was awesome, her knowledge and ability were the main reasons my extremely difficult divorce was able to be resolved. It was amazing to have constant updates and involvement in the process with someone who truly understood and cared. Would highly recommend her for anyone seeking legal representation in a divorce case.

My experience with Attorney Nina was great. I will recommend her services and Sterling Law any day anytime.

Andria was great to work with and got me through a very difficult life event. The team communicated regularly and answered questions when I had them.

Jack was so helpful, personable and made things very easy to understand.

Robert Keenan was a huge help in getting my divorced resolved quickly as well as a difficult custody of my daughter!! She was taken out of state by the mother where we are residents. He was on top of getting all the right paperwork filed with the courts. He had a good repore with the courts and was always very professional and direct. He will not do you wrong. Also it cost me way less using Sterling lawyers on a quoted payment instead of a retainer. I have been in two previous divorces and I preferred this payment better because I felt more free to reach out to him and the legal team without worrying about how much of a bill I was incurring. Again I highly recommend Robert for any of your legal needs!

There are not enough kind words to describe my experience with Atty. Messerschmidt. From start to finish she was helpful, courteous, and had attention to detail with my case. She always treated me with the utmost respect and handled everything very professionally. The outcome of my case was more than I could ever ask for thanks to Nikole(Atty. Messerschmidt). She’s truly and great lawyer and a terrific person. If you want the best Attorney Nikole Messerschmidt is the lawyer to go to. I just wish there was more than 5 stars to award because she deserves more. I would definitely recommend her to anyone going through a divorce. She’s compassionate, professional and you will satisfied with the outcome thanks to Attorney Messerschmidt. I know I am

Can’t say enough good things about Abby. Definitely the best experience with an attorney I’ve ever had. She’s very friendly, helpful, and responsive

The sterling law firm would be a good choice for getting help with a divorce. I had a good experience with My lawyer Nina Kelly.

Overall our experience with Sterling Law office was good. We dealt with Jack who did our divorce mediation. Jack was always pleasant, professional, and knowledgeable. They would have given 5 stars but on several occasions appointments, meetings, and even locations of meetings were changed and rescheduled on short notice. All in all, I would recommend Jack at Sterling for your mediation needs.

I came to Sterling to help me through my divorce to make it as easy and painless as possible. Attorney Robert Keenan was there every step of the way and provided advice to help guide me through it all.\\r\\n\\r\\nThe structured payments are a benefit on top of the work that was completed to help make sure that the divorce was completed by the initial trial hearing.\\r\\n\\r\\nThough divorce isn't a process anyone wants to go through, this was made bearable.\\r\\n\\r\\nThank you Robert and the Sterling team.

Atty Messerschmidt was very helpful in my coaching session and afterwards answering all my questions and guiding me through the divorce process. Thank you for all the help!

Abigail was amazing throughout my entire case, she made sure everything moved as smoothly as it could, answered all 100 thousand questions I had, made sure I understood everything that was happening, responded quickly everytime I sent an email or text and most of all fought for my kids and i’s best interests through it all. I could not recommend her more and I’m so appreciative of everything she has done for us!

Nina was extremely helpful along the way, I'm very satisfied

Definitely worth checking out

Sterling Lawyers, LLC, and Jack were very professional and knowledgeable on my case. They streamlined the process to make it as easy and stress free as possible. Can’t recommend enough.

Nikole was my lawyer. She got everything I wanted and finished it up in the first 150 days. Great at keeping me informed on what was happening. Her herself a very nice person. Thank you.

I had the pleasure of working with Nina at Sterling. She applied her experience and expertise to finish my not so straightforward case within what I believe to be the fastest possible timeframe. Great communication between Nina and myself throughout the case. I would absolutely recommend Sterling to any family or friends due to the professional nature in which they handled my divorce case. Thank you

Attorney Nina Kelly was amazing for my son to work with in his divorce. After working with another attorney getting nowhere, being left in the dark and being stressed all the time my son had Nina take over his divorce case and within just a few short months, Nina was able to wrap up the divorce. Nina is a go-getter keeping you informed all the way and answering any questions you may have. I recommend attorney Nina Kelly To anyone that wants an attorney that cares, Listens and gives 100%.

My experience was positive all the way across the board from beginning to end. Attorney Crawford explained everything in great detail to give me an understanding on how the process was going to work and he also answered all my texts and phone calls in a timely fashion. If I had any concerns or questions Attorney Crawford addressed those with me and made sure I was comfortable moving forward in the process

Was assisted by Nina!\\r\\nClear direct and easy to contact.\\r\\nWould recommend

Attorney Morrell and his team were very patient, understanding, easy to work with. They made the process as easy as possible and achieved what needed to be done. He had my children’s best interest at the forefront of the whole process and was a voice for them as well. I recommend him to anyone that is looking for guidance and outcomes with children involved.

Sterling Lawyers (and especially Ryan) helped me through the process of getting a prenup. She was extremely transparent the whole way through, and very accommodating to the many changes we requested. The cost was exactly what I was told on the first introductory phone call and there were no surprises. Would highly recommend!

Having the help of Nina Kelly has been the best legal choice I’ve made to handle things for my case. I can’t recommend sterling legal enough. A person thank you for you and the team. You guys as organized, professional yet personable wonderful people. highly recommend.

If you want to hire a lawyer that will ruin your life, hire Jeff Morrell.\\r\\n\\r\\nGoogle : Attorney Jeffrey Morrell Fond du Lac reviews. Believe those reviews!!!\\r\\n\\r\\nHaving Jeff as my attorney for a year was the worst year of my life. He failed to do a discovery, Failed to do a deposition and missed a very important deadline that severely impacted my case. He filed a motion to compel and it was denied through the court as the court said he had an adequate amount of time to get it done . He also filed a continuance and it was also denied. After I paid him my retaining fee, I did not hear from him until four months later. I sent him messages, finally 21 days later, two days before I had court, he responded to me. He had my prenuptial agreement for 10 months before he even finally read it and he finally read it the day before my hearing in front of me and three other people. He had no intentions on reading it as he even reached out to my previous attorney asking him what he thought of it. I caught Jeff in MANY lies. The few times we met together, I would drive down to Appleton to sit in the waiting room for about 20 minutes before he will call me and then he would say to me"What's up?"I would then ask him don't we have anything to talk about for court and he would say "no not really now get out of here ."There isn't enough room in here for me to say all the unethical things that he did to me. He was always extremely unprofessional and disrespectful.The day before my final hearing, he called me down to his office, which I thought was to prepare us for court but instead, he pointed his MacBook at me and provoked me into yelling at him for not doing anything for the entire year and sent it to the judge! He then told me he quit. He quit on me because he knew he was going to lose significantly in court and didn't want to take accountability. I also knew when I walked into that room he was going to quit because he only had his MacBook in that room nothing else . The judge didn't allow him to quit, In fact the next morning he showed up late for court with only his MacBook and a piece of paper that he told me I had to sign and dare. I thought it was for him to stay being my lawyer as why else would he be having me sign something in court? Nope, he had me sign another contract saying I owe him an additional $13,000 even though I had already signed another contract months ago and Jeff told me it would take me all the way to the end, which I have in a text message. He was always late and unprepared for court. My final hearing, the judge sent us into mediation and Jeff fled court to run to his office to print stuff off since he came to court with nothing. He also came back with nothing because he didn't do anything the entire year he was my attorney. The only thing he had in court were my husband's attorney's exhibits. I was so embarrassed sitting next to him. The judge was so mad at him for everything he did over the entire year and he clearly took it out on my case. The only enemy I had in that court room was my attorney. I wish I could post all the horrible text messages from him. I can't believe Sterling law firm would even have an attorney like this working for them. When his boss called me the other day, I told her I felt like I hired someone who just got out of college and didn't know what they were doing.

Nina K was great. Always responded rather quickly whenever I had questions or concerns, which was pretty often. The case didn't end exactly as I hoped, but I'll still call it a win. It wouldn't have been without Nina in my corner. I'll say I hope you never need an attorney, but if you do, I highly recommend Nina and everyone at Sterling.

Facing a modification of child support can feel overwhelming. Luckily for me, I got an hour of Attorney Holt’s time and expertise. She let me know best and worst case scenarios, as well as answer any and all questions about the Wisconsin child support process and guidelines. In addition, should she have to represent me in court, my consultation fee goes directly towards a FLAT rate fee. I especially like that, because at least you know what you are going to have to pay upfront. That is very valuable to me. I highly recommend Sterling Law Offices, and Attorney Holt in particular!

I had the pleasure of working with Nina Kelly, and she was outstanding. She secured the best possible outcome for my family while skillfully avoiding trial.\\r\\n\\r\\nThroughout the process, Nina was prompt, professional, and unwaveringly focused on the end goal—no matter how emotional things became. Her expertise and dedication made all the difference, and I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a skilled and compassionate attorney.
