Nikole did an amazing job! I don’t think I would’ve gotten the same outcome if it wasn’t for her! She really helped me understand everything and was always quick to respond to my questions. I felt she really cared about the future of my child and I wasn’t just another case. She makes sure you stay on track of what’s really best for the child while still acknowledging your feelings. She also made sure to bring up all my concerns during court and was very personable. Along with this firm having reasonable prices, I would definitely recommend!

I can not say that the divorce process was enjoyable and I wish I had not needed their services, but Im glad I had it. Sterling law offices and my attorney Ms. McInerny in particular was worth every dollar I paid. I was not an easy client and covid-19 put unique challenges before them, but I would recommend sterling law offices to anyone needing legal representation in a divorce without hesitation.

Elizabeth was absolutely fantastic to work with and very responsive! She took everything into consideration to help find the best possible outcome for my divorce. Both the professionalism and genuine concern that I experienced really helped make the transition from marriage to divorce better than I could have thought. Would absolutely recommend Elizabeth and the Sterling Law Offices to anyone for anything.

I believe that Sterling Law Offices is a competent law firm with highly educated individuals. They have the right answers to your questions in the matter of law. But thats not all I was looking for when I sought an attorney. I wanted to hire peace of mind, the knowledge that someone is fighting for me. Thats not what I received. Instead I felt like I was arguing against the attorney I worked with at Sterling (whom I will choose not to name in this review); at this point, I was still ready to leave them a 5-star review if things were rectified. But when I made my opinion known to the owners of the firm, I was swiftly met with opposition via email. Never a phone call or further questions about my interpretation of what happened. This review wouldnt be here if it did; in fact, the 1-star rating is strictly representative of the response I received from ownership. I expected, especially from a law firm, to be heard out, to be allowed the chance to find a reasonable solution to my circumstances, and to be able to move forward with dignity and grace. Instead I was offered 10% of my retainer (over $5,000) for a case that is, at best, 60% complete (thats my personal opinion) and a stipulation to withdraw from the engagement. Those are the facts, Ill let you draw the conclusion about whether to hire them.

We worked with Attorney Elizabeth McInerny on our case. We are incredibly grateful for her professionalism, passion and dedication to our case.

As my attorney, Toby was a consummate professional in my very personally challenging divorce case. His informed and wise advice helped me feel confident in the eventual outcome, which unfolded exactly as he predicted. My status as an officially divorced person is still washing over me, but Toby made it happen as cleanly and cordially as possible. I am very grateful and I unreservedly recommend him both as an attorney and also as a managing partner of this firm.

Ive had a really amazing experience with Sterling law offices. Toby went above and beyond for me and my case. He was very readily available and was always more than willing to explain things and help me understand the process. His patience with not only me, but also when dealing with the opposition is more than noteworthy. The gratitude I have for the Sterling offices and all they have done for me and my case is immeasurable. I would highly recommend using their services.

I had an excellent experience working with Sterling Law Offices and specifically Toby. He made the potentially stressful and difficult process of creating a Prenuptial Agreement simple, fast and easy. He made sure things were handled promptly, professionally and to the letter and spirit of marital law. He recommend my current wife obtain a lawyer as well, which she did, so her interests would be represented properly and to also make sure both parties were in mutual agreement and understood the terms. Due to my Wife and Is busy work schedule, we were unable to visit the office in person, but they accommodated us and we were able to handle everything remotely! I would highly recommend Sterling Law to anyone considering obtaining a Prenuptial Agreement.

A huge thank you to Sterling Law offices, S.C and specifically my attorney Elizabeth McInery for her assistance during my divorce process. Elizabeth was compassionate, responsive, informative, and always listened to my goals and priorities. Elizabeth helped me to reach a fair agreement on placement and financial matters in a timely manner. I would highly recommend Elizabeth based on her work ethic, knowledge, and sensitivity. Thanks again!

The experience I had at Sterling Law Offices was nothing short of exceptional and first class. My attorney, Toby Kinsler, was always able to answer every question I had and took time to make sure I understood everything before moving on. Toby is a dedicated and kind attorney who gives 110% to his clients. I would highly recommend this Law Firm if you are going through a divorce.

Review №18

I went and met with numerous firms before meeting and selecting Toby at Sterling Law Offices. I am BEYOND grateful and satisfied having Toby and his team. His commitment, buy-in, knowledge, and diligence was second to none. Being a flat fee service has me nervous at first but every effort was put into minimizing the additional steps or tiers needed and no resourcing or corners were cut. His team was ultra-responsive, caring, invested and treated me like family. I will recommend Toby to everyone I meet in need of a great lawyer!

It was a pleasure to work with Tristan and Derek (former attorney) during the whole process. Everything about my case was clear or clarified in a very timely manner. If I ever need legal assistance again I wouldnt hesitate to be back with Sterling. They made the whole process as easy as possible and they respected my best interests all the time. Thank you!

I walked into sterling law office knowing in my head what I wanted but it felt so out of reach. Toby made that dream come true and our family will forever be indebted to him. These guys go above and beyond to make sure you’re informed every step of the way and truly care about their clients. Couldn’t be more happy to have hired Toby and sterling law office as they get things done!

I had a phenomenal experience with Sterling Law Offices, and Mrs. Messerschmidt as an attorney for my case. I always felt comfortable reaching out with comments, questions, and concerns. I never felt like I was just another client or as though all they cared about was money. I felt that my desires were genuinely cared about, and that she was there for me every step of the way. I would highly recommend Mrs. Messerschmidt, and Sterling Law Offices.

Review №23

Honestly, ours was a super tough divorce to work through, with kids involved, and planned placement very far from one parent. Going into it, I never thought we’d be able to mediate our way to an okay outcome for both of us, but Toby was a skilled and respectful professional in handling our emotions and the difficult discussions, and helping us navigate the divorce process. So thankful we chose Sterling!

I had a great experience with Sterling Law. Toby did a great job. He made himself available by phone and email, he answered my questions, and he’s super easy to talk to. I was able to get what I wanted in my divorce. All the people I had contact with at Sterling Law were really nice and helpful, they sent all he necessary paperwork, and called to make sure I understood everything, and answered any questions I had. They would also do follow up calls to make sure they had helped me with everything, and if I had any more questions. I’m really glad I got in contact with Sterling Law, and Toby.

Sterling helped us through this divorce process, and even though it was stressful, they did a good job, especially our mediator, Toby Kinsler. He is very kindhearted and helpful. The speed at which the divorce is nearing its end, is much quicker than what they estimated on their website.

Review №32

At the beginning of my divorce I had never felt so scared, alone and unsure of my future. Sitting in the office of Sterling Law all I could do was stare at the floor wondering what was going to happen to my children and myself. I met with Toby that afternoon for my initial consultation and I can honestly say I walked out feeling a bit better. Toby and I not only had a discussion about divorce, he listened to me and I left knowing they had my back and I wasnt alone. Derek Allen went above and beyond throughout the entire process, he answered all of my questions promptly, even calling at 5:30 a.m. when he knew that was the only time I could talk. I felt comfortable asking him to explain something again if I didnt understand and I never felt like we had to rush through meetings because we were on a clock. The flat fee system that is used is a great way to go through this, everything is up front and very fair. Tristan also stepped up and helped with my divorce. She is a wonderful person to work with and treats people like they should be treated, with respect. I saw both sides of the spectrum during my divorce, the people at Sterling Law Office who are professional, caring and a true class act...and my ex wifes attorney who I felt was an embarrassment to herself. Thank you all for getting me through this, I consider you my friends.

Rachel Mielke was wonderful to work with. Her greatest strength is being relational. I questioned, she listened and explained; we shared thoughts and ideas; and she knowledgeably advised. We worked together as a team. She was always prepared, efficient, and available. I liked that she was forthright, yet sensitive to my needs and feelings. I am grateful for her kindness and the desired outcome of her effort.

Attended a free seminar to learn more information. Having a free resource available to help through such a difficult time is invaluable. Toby did a very nice job making me feel welcome and answering all my questions. I took up more time than probably originally allotted and he never made me feel like I was wasting his time.

Made appointment for phone consultation. We paid in advance. Date and time was confirmed a day prior by email and by phone. We waited at appointed time.....no call! After a half hour I called....was told Toby would call us shortly......an hour later I called and was told he is busy and we need to reschedule in a week at least. We waited for this appointment....it was urgent that we speak and receive professional advice. COMPLETE LACK OF CARING OF OUR NEEDS! LACK OF COURTESY AND PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT. FILING A COMPLAINT WITH WISCONSIN BAR ASSOCIATION.LOOK ELSEWHERE FOR REPRESENTATION!!!!!!

Toby Kinsler was extremely helpful. I had set up a Coaching Session with him, which my ex and I attended online (mindful of social distancing guidelines). He answered questions from the both of us thoroughly and helped us through our paperwork struggles with a speedy efficiency. Mr. Kinsler also gave us good advice that will hopefully help speed along the divorce process more quickly for us. Additionally, the resources he provided us were extremely helpful.Divorce is a tough process. Mr. Kinsler made it easier for both of us. It is clear he is very dedicated to his work and follows through on his promises. I would recommend anybody who is struggling with the divorce process to work with him and Sterling Law Offices.

I was looking for direction and advice and Toby from Sterling delivered both. He was intuitive, listened to my case and gave me solid options and direction for moving forward.

Review №41

Toby was fantastic! He was always on top of things and was there whenever I needed him. Our case was a little crazy in the fact that things were almost completely split for placement, but the money part was something that was an issue for the opposing party. Toby kept things rolling and was able to wrap things up getting what was needed, done! I am forever grateful for Tobys help and I would recommend him to anyone that is looking for assistance with their Family Law case.

I was assigned Kathy Curran, in Wisconsin, to represent me. She did an amazing job. She was professional, yet relatable, she followed up, she kept me informed and she was straight forward.I loved my experience with her and would definitely use Sterling again (if the need arises) and I will recommend to anyone I know.Thanks for great service.

In the worst time in my adult life, chance of divorce after 15 years. I walked out of the consultation truly relieved. Toby Kinsler shed his knowledge, compassion, and understanding to my situation. This is not an easy subject matter to deal with. Toby made me feel alive again. He took the time to listen and explain all of my concerns. Finally a professional that truly cares!!!

Divorce is hard! That much is clear.Thanks to Tristan Eagon and the team at Sterling Lawyers, LLC helping me navigate the legal side of things, it was a lot easier to overcome these challenges with the support I needed. In the process, many support systems from friends and family, a counselor, and others helped me handle the personal challenges, so I focus on Tristans support handling the legal matters.It was an honor to work with their team, they provided me the support I needed, and my future and my sons are a lot less scary now thanks to them.

Review №46

I have met with Tobias Kinsler of Sterling Law Offices a couple times this past year, and he is absolutely fantastic! I sought his help and expertise under the unfortunate guise of my divorce and child custody battle. Nevertheless, Toby has remained positive and given me a tremendous amount of information that I will be able to use in my case. I don’t have a lot of money, so no one from other law offices has given me the time of day, but Toby and Sterling Law have continued to support me. I couldn’t be happier with the customer service, knowledge, and overall experiences. Thank you, Toby!

Review №47

The emotional part of getting divorced is hard enough in and of itself. Add to that figuring out the process of getting divorced which feels complicated and one ends up feeling confused. I reached out to Sterling Law Offices and received a personal call back from one of the executive partners asking how he could best meet my needs. I wasnt looking for mediation or an attorney to necessarily represent me. What I was searching for was guidance. They were willing to tailor something just for me to help me navigate the process of what to file and when. I was very grateful to have someone listen and really hear me.

I had to fire my first divorce attorney. I wish I would have just went to Toby first. Good service. Always felt like the weight of the world was much less after talking to Toby.

I worked through my divorce with Dan Exner. He was absolutely amazing! I really appreciated that I could always email with an questions or concerns and always received a response in a very timely manner. Dan made me feel very comfortable throughout the whole divorce. He always made me feel like he took time to listen to the issues that were important to me and made sure to help put those issues as a top priority. I would absolutely recommend this law firm to friends and family and call them if I have any family law needs in the future.

I was blessed to have Elizabeth McInerny represent me throughout my divorce. Her professionalism and work ethic are unparalleled. Elizabeth was always accessible and would address my needs with clarity and understanding, which was crucial during such a trying time. Elizabeth always had my children and my best interests in mind and worked strenuously to that end. She went above and beyond, continuously.Opposing counsel was completely irrational and sought to bully us into submission. Elizabeth was strong and kept a positive/professional demeanor throughout. She did not allow us to be pressured, intimidated, or bulldozed.Divorces can get nasty. Elizabeth will stand her ground, work hard, and fight for you. Thank you, Elizabeth.

Toby Kinsler and the team at Sterling Law were very friendly and professional. Toby was a godsend for me. I was frightened, having zero experience with the court system.

I used this law office for my child custody case. Having never been through this I had no idea what to expect or what the process was and was very nervous about the whole situation. My lawyer (Nikole) was very professional, straight to the point and took time to explain everything out to me which put me at ease. She took the time to talk to me every step of the way really listening to me and when it came to the hearing/agreement I got exactly what I wanted. Cant recommend Sterling Law enough

Review №57

I am overall, extremely satisfied with the professionalism of the attorneys at Sterling Law Offices. I had a very lengthy, messy child placement case and the outcome was everything I had hoped for, for the sake of my child. The efforts of attorney Tristan Eagon, were exactly what I had expected for such a messy case. She was also very easy to communicate with and returned my calls and emails in a very timely fashion. I would rate Sterling Law Offices with 5 stars, if my case were to involve attorney Eagon indefinitely, not just for the single court hearing. I believe for the rate at which I paid the law firm, (over $6,000), it shouldn’t be a one time fee, that should cover future involvement. Other than that, my experience with attorney Eagon was more than I could’ve asked for.

Review №67

My initial consult was very comforting - Kirsten was so friendly and made me feel at ease right from the start. Divorce is a difficult time as it is and then you start talking attorney fees and property division and husband knowledge/concerns and it gets even more over-whelming. She just reminded me to breathe and that they have this, she is with me every step of the way and if for some reason she would need to be away, there is always someone within Sterling to back her up...This was a nice sentiment in February when I first started with the firm. I have since then done three more reviews that dont seem to appear anywhere. There was no back up from Sterling and I am praying that justice will prevail in the end. Ms. Navarrette regarding my case was more interested in obtaining the most fees than the best settlement for me. She had communications with the opposing counsel that was kept from me, she would not communicate updates on my case, what should have been done by June 1, 2018 wasnt even started with regard to discussion of a settlement offer. Document requests went on for months instead of using the discovery process. When I finally requested copies of all the communications between her and the opposing counsel I was let go and now Im working to find justice.

Review №68

Toby Kinsler of Sterling Law Offices truly brought humanity and kindness to my image of the collective group of people we call lawyers. From the very start Attorney Kinsler listened to what brought me and my wife to seek a divorce, and how we wanted it amicably handled. Toby not only heard what we were saying, but was moved to be handling a divorce for two people who still had and wanted to maintain respect for each other. He acknowledged that that was not the way most divorces go! He was compassionate, communicative, and expeditious in his handling of things, and to the very end of our court hearing consistently let us know what a pleasure it was to work with us. I would recommend Toby Kinsler and Sterling Law Offices to those who are seeking an attentive and compassionate attorney to help get you through a very difficult time.
