What Our Clients Say

excellent consultation

Andria was kind and attentive. She was able to do exactly as I wanted. Working with Andria was the highlight of my divorce.

10, she was extremely helpful.

Ellen was professional, helpful, and remained neutral throughout the process.

Atty Curran listen to me and explained how the process works and was very helpful in answering my questions.

I felt like she was closer to my wife but I know she didn't take sides. It would have been a 10 but I think 9 is already high.

I didn’t get to work with her too heavily but I would recommend her, yes. I would say 10, no reasons to not give that score. Thanks.

I would rate her a 6/10.

Would have liked more time to ask questions

I give Nina a 10. Nina was great in helping me with her knowledge and know how for everything obstacle in the case. Very strategic and great follow up.

Outstanding service

All staff members were professional as well as caring throughout a stressful time in my life.

Everything appeared to be well outlined as to how my case would proceed. Everything was also carefully explained.

I felt I was in good hands.

I worked with Jacqueline and she was amazing throughout the whole process. She really made it simple and explained everything really thoroughly to me and always answered any questions that I had. I am grateful to have worked with her through such a difficult time. She was always very kind and courteous and checked in to see how I was doing.

Her understanding & reassurance regarding my fears & concerns. Gave me peace of mind that I was making the right decision to move forward.

great customer service

I'm results driven in situations like this. The results were exactly what I wanted, needed, and expected.

Ms. Kelly was very professional and communicative, I knew her service time with me was limited, and I wanted a specific motion filed. She presented me with many options, some that could have costed me more, but in the end not only did she carry out what I asked, but informed me of additional advantage to said filing. I would retain her services again if the need arises. Thank you, Nina.

In my first meeting with attorney Nina Kelly, I was hopeless, exhausted, and ready to give up all together. I had been misrepresented and lacked appropriate legal counsel from my previous attorney. Nina is caring, understanding and most importantly brutally honest. After getting the runaround and empty promises from my prior attorney, this is exactly what I needed. Needless to say, Nina changed the entire course of my case. She always provided a quick response to address my questions and concerns explaining everything to me step by step, even if it were after hours. Nina is Knowledgeable, kind, compassionate and I cannot thank her enough for all her assistance on my case. I was granted exactly what I was expecting in my divorce.
I could not have asked for anyone better to represent me at a more difficult time in my life. I was referred to Nina by a fiend and l would highly recommend Nina to anyone. She is worth ever single penny!!
I highly recommend Sterling Law and all their experienced, capable and knowledgeable attorneys and paralegals, especially Kimberly Rose.

It was a long process, not on Lea’s performance. The court’s now a day take more then what they should taking to resolve cases. As for Lea and the service that was provided I give it a 10.

Holly Mullin is the best. I highly recommend her including her retainer pay structure. Recommend her at the highest level. She is very experienced, thorough, efficient, responsive and alert.

The attorney was honest, but I didn’t get much out of the consultation. My hopes were crushed and now I have to move out of my home because I won’t be able to afford it anymore

Friendly and very understanding

Divorce

The outcome was not in my favor.

Holly Mullin is knowledgeable, organized, and easy to work with.

First, I’d like to say that Lea was amazing throughout the entire process and mine, while maybe not the worst that your firm has seen, was definitely not a “walk in the park”.

I’m copying in Lea as she deserves to see this, but warning… I write novels for emails. She knows. 😊

I knew my divorce was looming and I had been researching firms for about a year. I had settled on Sterling, however, I settled on Sterling based on the reviews that I saw from Katie. I had some encounters with attorneys in the past and my family always made recommendations. In my experience, those recommendations were garbage and for something like this I knew I needed a top end firm.

Much to my surprise, I was served papers from my now ex-wife. I was planning on serving her. I already had done my homework, so I immediately reached out to your firm and to Katie.

I’ll admit that your firm is much more expensive than others, but I also had a lot at stake, so I signed the agreement.

At first, I was a bit disappointed that I wasn't able to have Katie actually work my case. I was immediately directed to Lea (and a few others eventually). I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t concerned about this as the whole reason I signed was due to Katie’s track record and accolades.

However, it didn’t take long for Lea to prove to me what an excellent lawyer she is.

Not only does she know how to handle herself and opposing counsel in a courtroom setting, she knew how to calm me down and work with me so that I could better understand things. Yes, I am one of those clients that digs deep into things, prepares my own documents to present to your firm, and even provides what I feel the best strategy can be. I was probably not too easy to work with. I will admit that.

One of the times that we were in court, the difference between Lea and my ex-wife’s attorney was actually laughable. I really had to hold back laughing at my ex-wife’s attorney. Because Depp v. Heard was big at the time I could only compare it to that. Lea was Depp’s attorney and my ex-wife’s attorney seemed to be like Heard’s. There was one time I even answered something that my ex-wife’s attorney did not expect and it left her stuttering and speechless. Not Lea. Lea was on the ball the entire time!

Because my case was getting complicated, other’s were brought in. Forgive me for not doing the research to provide them kudos as I don’t remember their names off the top of my head, but there was an entire “team” working on my case at one point. If Lea didn’t have specific answers on a specific problem, she would bring someone into the case. That alone was worth it. Nobody knows everything, but when you can admit that and bring in another person who knows what you don’t know… that’s priceless.

Tomorrow will be exactly one (1) year post-divorce for me as well as my daughter’s 10th birthday.

Things are technically not over. Recently, my ex-wife has disregarded a lot of our agreement and rather than immediately take her to court for contempt, I thought it best to have an attorney draft a letter so that my ex-wife knew I was being serious about following the court ordered documents.

I knew your firm was a bit expensive and the divorce took a lot of my funds, so I reached out to a “cheap” local attorney for the simple fact of just writing a letter.

That letter took weeks. Yes, weeks.

During that time, I did in fact reach out to Lea as I was so used to the service that I had been provided by Lea. The price was definitely a lot higher, but I know that I would have probably had that letter in a few days. During this correspondence, the other attorney finally pulled through (at a small cost of $150.00).

I 100% guarantee that if/when I do have to pursue my ex-wife in court for contempt charges, there is only one person I am going to be contacting. That would be Lea and your firm.

Lea is everything I’ve dreamed that an attorney representing me would be. Smart, to the point, on the ball, well prepared, and incredibly knowledgeable. I cannot express enough how good she was compared to any other attorney I may have come across in the past (nothing criminal by the way).

So, now… to really provide you with the answers you are looking for:

On a scale of 1-10, how likely are you to recommend ATTY Lea Diaz to friends and family?

I’m going with 9.
If interested, please provide feedback on why you would give that score.

The only reason I don’t say 10 is because, while worth it, your firm is expensive. However, I have already referred Lea to one friend regarding a prenup agreement (he didn’t pursue it) and another friend who hates the thought of divorce, but has been miserable for years and keeps calling me to tell me about it. His father has money and if he goes with anyone else even I would be mad at him. So, we’ll see what happens there.

In closing, (I bet you’re happy to hear those words) I want to add that I have NEVER worked with an attorney that has been as quick to respond to any questions or concerns than Lea. I would get replies to my emails either the same day or early the next. In my experience with attornys, this is not the case. It can take days… or weeks as in my previous encounter with just trying to get a letter written. That alone was one of the best takeaways. If something happened to me I would write Lea and would be anxious about the whole situation. But, she would quickly respond and help take away some of that anxiety. So, please know that while I may recommend Sterling as a whole… I am really recommending Lea to friends and family as I have never worked with an attorney of her caliber before and while she is amazing… I hope I never have to work with her again (I hope you understand the joke here). 😊

I got Jacqueline McClellan she was great really she was great . She will answer all my questions.

I worked with Jacqueline and she was amazing throughout the whole process. She really made it simple and explained everything really thoroughly to me and always answered any questions that I had. I am grateful to have worked with her through such a difficult time. She was always very kind and curteous and checked in to see how I was doing.

I went through an extremely difficult divorce case. I was fortunate enough to work with Katie VanDeusen. From the beginning Katie was extremely professional, during our first meeting she listened to me very carefully, she explained me all future steps and she proposed the strategy for my divorce case. Al recommendations from Katie really worked out. She always maintained excellent communication with me and replied to my emails and questions immediately even though it was late at night. It took us 7 months from start to the finish line to finalize my divorce. I will be recommending Katie to all of my friends since she is an amazing attorney!

She got me everything I wanted and kept the stress level down.

Very clear communication with the lawyers, quick refund when we determined not the best fit. On my end not yours.

I felt all my questions were answered and liked the flexibility of having an online meeting to discuss my situation.

I would rate Andria at a 10. She was very kind and kept my mind at ease throughout the entire process. I would recommend her to anyone because she kept me informed and we had achieved everything that was desired. Thank you!

Atty. Baily was responsive, she did my work on time. Good job.

I had an odd situation where my attorney left the firm during my case. I only had 1 to 2 interactions with Bailey to close out my case. She was very helpful and timely. I wasnt sure it made sense to give an overall rating with my unique situation.

The best thing about sterling law offices,SC is they got everything done and kept me updated on everything I give them a 10

During my divorce, I decided to hire Sterling Law offices. I also had the pleasure to work with Jacqueline McClellan and she kept me updated on everything I needed to know and was a great help.

The cost was the only reason. $18,000 was a bit steep for me being military and on a fixed income. Other than that, the counselors and staff were courteous, helpful, and very knowledgeable.

I was extremely impressed by everything that was done to help me through a difficult divorce process. Both Nikole and Abbey provided me with absolutely star quality support and guided me through to the end of the divorce. Thank you so much for everything you did.

Holly Mullin is an amazing attorney. She mediated our divorce and made the entire process go smoothly and kept us informed the entire time. She explained everything in terms that we could easily understand and was quick to respond to our questions, even outside our meeting times. Holly drafted all the legal documents and made sure they were filed with the courts in a timely manner. She informed us about what would happen during the actual court hearing, what to expect and what to say. Holly was extremely patient, as our case took over two years from start to finish. I would recommend Holly to anyone looking for a compassionate, yet professional attorney.

Nikole stayed cool as a cucumber and got me everything I wanted, all while dealing with the antics of an opposing attorney who, in my opinion, must have been too hungover to attend the "How to Adult" lecture in law school.
