What Our Clients Say
Holly was great! When I worked with her, I really felt like she was focused on my case and gave great advice. Unfortunately, when I was assigned to Austin, I did not feel the same level of engagement. Right from the beginning, the initial filing was (I felt) late; we were looking to move fast and get the 4 month waiting period over, but it still took over a month to get that filed. Initially, he was very responsive, and I thought we were going to be all right; but our situation changed from "separation" to "divorce" around the beginning of April, and when we made our initial (scheduling) appearance in May, the paperwork was a mix of some documents that indicated divorce, while others separation. Then he was unavailable for a couple weeks around the beginning/middle of June, and neither Austin nor Missy was responding to my inquiries about our final hearing on June 28th. I finally called Ellen Rhodeman on June 13 in an attempt to contact Austin, and we finally spoke; this was one day before the due date to have all of our final documents filed with the court. But one of our documents was trapped in Austin's Spam folder, and our documents weren't filed until the week of our hearing. This was followed by more chaos, and made for a very stressful week, even though it resulted in our divorce being finalized. As a final note, he didn't tell us about the process for getting the QDRO created and approved, which was a surprise.
So, when you ask if I would recommend others to your firm, I would say "Yes, if you get Holly; but No if you get Austin."
Consider this: we are working to file our QDRO pro se because we don't want to hand it over to Austin to do it for us. That's how dissatisfied Teri (my ex-wife) and I are.
Communication -quick responses
I definitely rate her services at a 10.
Nikole was extremely easy to work with and always willing to hop on a call with me.
It’s not likely that I would have to refer anyone because I don’t know any married couples in Wisconsin that would come to me to seek a reference for a divorce attorney.
Excellent counsel and superb service.
Some email responses were unclear/slow but overall, Ellen did a really nice job with the prenup and offered suggestions to best advocate for me.
She was helpful and did an excellent job. The score wasn’t higher because it was very difficult to communicate and get scheduled. This was after we had already paid our fee in full. That was frustrating and made a difficult time even more stressful.
Nikole was very informative and patient.
I beleive all details of my case where taken care of and any questions I had where answered in a timley professional manner.
Excellent, caring attorney.
The outcome was better than expected. Helpful. Friendly.
I felt incredibly seen & heard by Ellen. The previous lawyer I spoke with did not make me feel comfortable or motivated to pursue what I needed to and Ellen gave me that motivation back.
Good but expensive
Easy to work with, very responsive and offered useful information.
I would give Austin a 20 if I could. Austin stuck with me from the very beginning, even when I was still undecided on an attorney. He constantly checked in on me, he was very knowledgable and helpful through out the entire process and I felt very secure having him as my representation. I felt like a human being and not a case. He was passionate about helping me get what I wanted out of it and kept my daughter in mind the entire time as well.
I would ABSOLUTELY recommend attorney Austin and the company Sterling to anybody. Bevia and Missy on his team were also terrific, super friendly, fast-acting, understanding, and kept in consistent contact as well!
So far I am very pleased
Attorney Austin Miller would get a “10”
Yes, I would recommend family or friends should they need a good divorce lawyer. He was professional and responsive to all of my questions while I was learning about the process and steps involved in concluding my divorce. I appreciate all of the support from Sterling Law offices!
Highly recommend attorney Jack Braaten.

I couldn’t have asked for a better, more thorough, thoughtful, caring, kind lawyer than Nikole Messerschmidt! It was a team atmosphere from the start! After the craziness of my 31 year long marriage falling apart, a team was what I needed. Nikole always gave me the time I needed answering my questions, explaining things I needed more information about and always letting me know what the next steps would be. She always emailed me back when I emailed her. I thought that was amazing since she is in court so much. Her staff is very friendly on the phone and in person. They always emailed documents quickly and let me know when they received them from me. If you need a divorce lawyer, Nicole Messerschmidt is the woman to call! You will absolutely be happy you did! I am !
My case was simple and easy.
Extremely knowledgeable and helpful
Ellen was knowledgeable and kind.
appreciated all the information and support. Would definitely recommend.
Austin miller, awesome
I’d give a 10 to recommend Robert. My situation has been difficult and he has been a fantastic resource if anyone needed a family law attorney I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.
I would certainly recommend Atty. Kathleen Curran to friends and family. I would rate her a 9. She was kind, thorough, and patient as she explained the process of the divorce process.
On a scale of 1-10 I’d Give Bailey at least a 15, maybe even a 20. She was fabulous. Helped me understand the rules surrounding my issue and the best course of action. I can’t thank her enough for her time.
Bailey Holt was very professional and I enjoyed talking with her when I did. I honestly would give her a near perfect score. Sorry I haven't had a chance to do the actual survey.
They did what I have asked them to do as I wish.
Because of Attorney Henderson, and her team, and their constant responsiveness to my concerns.
Price and quality of service was exactly I needed for a first time needing a lawyer.
Attorney Jack is very knowledgeable and professional. He answered all my questions and provided all the information I would need in my divorce case. Him and his staff were definitely thrown some curveballs (active duty military) but they were able to resolve all issues and their efforts were greatly appreciated. They were very proactive in gathering all the information and follow ups. They were also very understanding of my being very busy during the week and sent reminders about things if I did forget. My needs were definitely heard and met. Would highly recommend Attorney Jack and his team!
