What Our Wisconsin Clients Say

Everyone I interacted with at Sterling, from my first call to the secretary, to everyone who worked together on the team for me were tremendously helpful and kind. Especially during an emotional and difficult season in life, they met me with care and empathy. They adequately educated and prepared me for what to expect on the journey. I’m grateful to have had their help to make my process as smooth as it could be.

I have been working with the Sterling firm for around 4-5 months now. I have a particularly interesting case I've been told as there are so many moving part and alot of information to sift through as child support and custody cases quite often have. I'm specifically working with Attorney Jack and his paralegal Claire. The experience I've had with them has been great. Jacks a young, knowledgeable, motivated attorney who does a fantastic job of telling me what to expect and explaining the things I don't quite understand. He won't sugar coat it for me and gives me the good, bad and ugly of what could happen. Transparency is something I much appreciate. His demeanor and way he carried himself in out first hearing put me at ease. I've spoke with his paralegal, Claire, quite a few times and she never makes me feel rushed when trying to explain what I need to relay or answer any questions that I have. One of the best parts is the communication I've 3 or 4 ways to get in touch with my attorney and he always gets back quickly. Sterling from my experience so far has a great group of motivated and knowledgeable attorneys working for them and they work together very well from what I've seen. I'd recommend anyone going through any sort of family law to put your faith in them. I've learned through this process that you can't quite control the outcomes but it helps to have an attorney and a law group that will put the work in and take this as seriously as you are. They seem to understand that quite literally lives can be changed with the outcome of each case and they work hard to tip it in your favor.
I've a long way to go in the case but I beleive I'm in good hands with Sterling.

I had the pleasure of being represented in family court by attorney Bailey Holt, whom was nothing short of exceptional. She was willing to hear my side of the story without judgment, while also providing critical feedback and options to choose from. Our meetings together were efficient and prompt. Although she is no longer representing me, she left the door open for questions and the opportunity to hire her again in the future. I highly recommend Sterling Lawyers, LLC and specifically attorney Bailey Holt.

Attorney Rhodeman was able to help me through the steps that were needed in a clear, understandable way. She advocated for my needs and would continue to recommend her to any of my friends and family.

Attorney Jack Braaten was very helpful and knowledgeable when it came to figuring out the best way to help my case. He explained every thing in detail and how it would help my case each step of the way. To me this made a huge difference because it helped me to understand what was happening rather than it just be a bunch of jumbled paperwork to fill out.

We never even talked to the lawyer

Excellent service. Quick and thorough!

Tiffany got the job done.

Initial phone call was easy and answered every question. Video consult with lawyer was same. Easy to join and he went over all information and was able to answer any and all questions.

Attorney Rhodeman was professional from day one of meeting her. Her knowledge of the law was evident throughout the entire process. Divorce is never easy and she helped me by walking along side me with gentle guidance while going through the most difficult time in my life.

Jodi Chung professionalism and sincerity are commendable and i am thankful for her exceptional legal service. I admire your composure, work ethic and most of all excellent representation to a smooth conclusion of my case. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking legal assistance in family law in Wisconsin.

Jack was a great attorney, very helpful and great at explaining everything to me so I would understand.

I was asked great questions and directed to a clear focus on the my needs.

Abbie did a great job if answering my questions and presenting my options. She was very easy to talk to.

I appreciated Sterling working with me financially. The communication back and forth was great. I felt I had enough information to get a change in my custody. I wish the information I provided was pushed more and was the main focus on getting equal shared custody was primary. I felt the documented information very well I had was more than enough. Johnson and Trampe are some of the dirtiest lawyers in Racine and I think dealing with them representing my ex wife takes a different approach.

Bailey Holt was exceptional! She's very patient and understanding of my needs. She was able to tell me of things that I would need that I hadn't even thought of. I'm very happy and grateful with her service. On a scale from 1-10 she shoots out of the park.

AUSTIN MILLER WAS WONDERFUL

I was very greatful for my experience with Robert Keenan. His did a wonderful job representing my case in a clear and fair way. I would recommend Sterling Law Offices and specifically Robert Keenan to anyone in need of good, fair and honest representation.

I found Sterling Lawyers, LLC to be extremely helpful. Time was taken to address all of my concerns in an extremely kind and compassionate manner.
I would highly recommend Sterling.

I have already recommended, as it was a pleasure working with your staff.

I would like a more one on one in person but overall everyone is very kind.

Bailey was GREAT… If you need a custody situation worked out ask for Bailey…She will get you results

Bailey is GREAT… attention to detail and a wealth of knowledge…Without her I wouldn't have my Son

I think older people would prefer a face to face meeting. I was just unwilling to drive 2 hours to do it there was no face to face option in town offered.

The whole team

My Lil sister had her son basically kidnapped by his father and her girlfriend it's a long story some personal and so obvious reasons I won't get into deep. The girlfriend was apparently educated in law and going to law school. Well the father had moved to Indiana to live in her house with her and her kids. On the 3rd time visiting they never brought him home. We called alot of lawyer/ places to get help of a lawyer. We obviously found the papers we needed to file but they could take up to 30 days or more to see a judge. Which I'm sure that's what they were counting on. Now I'm not sure what we were looking for when we found Ellen's firm but we knew forsure we needed her. I definitely knew we needed papers form a lawyer to get the judge to see this is a immediate situation.
Ellen typed up and signed / notarized papers ex parte motions for us. I do believe without those papers we might still be waiting for our court date . Now just remember that if you contact Sterling Lawyers LLC yes they make it affordable for people to get help if you aren't able to pay even for their full retaining amount. I am going to say that it was cool that the 1st $100 we paid went towards the actual consult with the lawyer. And that was a total of $450 and another 2nd coaching of $450 . We had a court date 2 weeks within the day we got the papers and went to the court house. I can't really speak on communication as it was between my sister and Ellen but I do believe that would have been good if I was the one who needed her and not just the financial and emotional support.
Just remember everything in this world is about the money it's how we live and survive. Ellen is there to help and they make it so it's atleast affordable. Which consider what the actual fee of the lawyers we contacted before we for Ellen was major. So if your blessed to have someone help with financial help if you are ever in this type of situation. Go there but before you do make sure you are clear on what you are going for make sure everything is in order time is money not just hers but yours as well. Before you go have a clear understanding on what you need and be able to communicate this.
We were not and I really appreciate Ellen for spending extra time with us . To help my sister figure out what was needed. Anyways my nephew is coming home tomorrow and thanks to Ellen the Judge was able to make it happen. As I said I'm very thankful for her patience because it is something my sister needed . My nephew could have been in Indiana without his family for months he is 3yrs old and doesn't really have a strong relationship with his dad and his dad's new girlfriend was try to steal him and cut her out of the picture and she thought she was something because she's is going to law school? If that's true having Ellen's documents filed and notarized showed the real true professional from the fake. I will be keeping Ellen's card in my wallet from now until forever.
Thank you Ellen and I know my family are 100% grateful

I was very impressed with my attorneys ability to argue both sides. I went to court with a very good understanding of what would happen and there were no surprises.

A bit difficult to get in touch..but Michelle was understanding of some office admin changes. I’m good

Holly Mullin served as an exceptional divorce lawyer for me. When I was blindsided by divorce papers after a near 20 year marriage, I had very little time to assess my circumstances. The only thing that I knew is that I wanted to proceed through my divorce with minimal conflict. Through my research, I found Holly to be the best person possible to represent me and guide me through this process. Holly continually kept not only my best interests in mind, but also my children's, as she advised each step of the way. She was the strength when I needed it most, and she was always straightforward with me. I am so thankful for Holly. She paved the way to help me achieve a healthy co-parenting relationship with my ex-husband. I am so grateful for her and her sound advice throughout this journey.

Bailey did a tremendous job every step of the way with my case. She is very detail oriented and works to make the best results happen. I would recommend her to anyone.

Andria was phenomenal. She sympathized with us and showed she truly cared and was very on top of her expertise! Her Para was amazing as well.

The outcome of the divorce

Open communication, and honest feedback.

Attorney Henderson and her team are simply AMAZING! She stuck with me through a grueling 2 1/2 year divorce with some serious financial dispute issues. The entire time I knew she had my back… she is smart, hardworking, and just a boss. I was not disappointed with the outcome of my trial, she nailed it! I will recommend her to anyone that will listen

I strongly recommend Abbey Henderson as a strong advocate, easily accessible, empathetic, and an expert in her field. You can feel confident and strongly supported with Abbey!

Jack was very personable and knowledgeable. He was easy to work with and answered all of my questions as they arose. It was nice to know that he was looking out for my best interests.

My only concern that I had was that it was not explicitly clear that my $4500 would only cover 90 days starting from the date I paid (not my 1st visit with my lawyer). I was under that impression that it was until all of the paperwork was complete. It was in the contract, but was never stated to me verbally. I only found out after my 90 days expired, a warning that this was coming up would have been appreciated.

It wasn’t all about trying to get money from the client, it was about understanding the situation and resolving the issues needed more legal assistance like this.

I would recommend Sterling Law. Jack Braaten has been super helpful, thorough and always had a quick response time. The paralegal was also great and both were on top of things and able to answer questions readily throughout this process.

Bailey was friendly, understanding, and helpful throughout the entire process. From the very first meeting, she brought an organized and professional approach to the situation. It was comforting to know that all the legal details would be taken care of so our attention could shift to other matters. At the same time, her care and support for both of us was evident as she listened to both sides and always worked to find an agreeable solution that was simple but fair. I would recommend Bailey and the rest of the Sterling team to any couple that wants a streamlined and affordable legal solution to divorce.

The team I’m working with has nailed supporting me. I feel like I understand what is happening while also having the space to ask questions and think.

Easy-going casual atmosphere at the consultation, but still an evident professional group of people.
The telephone intake done by Tabatha in Green Bay was excellent. She listened very well. Was very understanding and her questions were asked in a positive manner.
Very at ease with the consult meeting. I felt like my two attorneys were there for me..
they listened and understood my story, my concerns, and my end goals.

Abbey is very responsive, a strong advocate, and an expert in her area. She was super!

Jack Braaten Is an excellent attorney who pays a great attention to detail.
I was very comfortable upon meeting him and left the first meeting with a sense of calm.
Using Sterling law office kept me from dealing with the toxic behavior of my spouse, that in itself is worth millions.

I had the privilege of working with Attorney Jodi Chung during my divorce. From our first meeting, Jodi demonstrated a deep understanding of family law and a commitment to my case.

Her professionalism and clear communication were invaluable. I always felt informed and empowered throughout the process. Most importantly, Jodi was a trustworthy advocate for my interests, making a daunting situation feel manageable.

I highly recommend Jodi to anyone seeking a separation/divorce attorney. Thank you, Jodi, for your exceptional support!

Addressed all my concerns and offered solutions. Understanding.

I felt confident enough at the end of my coaching session to approach the other party & agree to some terms before court.
