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.

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.

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 don't 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 wasn't 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 I'm working to find justice.

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

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 I's 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.

Attorney Tristan Eagon and her team were amazing to work with during a difficult life changing event. She was an excellent listener, educated and advocated for my particular needs. Communication was timely and our process was very smooth. I highly recommend her and this law firm.

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!

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.

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.

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!!!!!!

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 Tristan's 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 son's are a lot less scary now thanks to them.

Sterling handled my divorce quickly and I would definitely recommend using them. I paid on a fixed fee and was grateful to not be surprised by any additional fees or charges during my representation. Attorney Messerschmidt was great, and Sterling's staff was always prompt.

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.

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!!!

I've 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.

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 wouldn't 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 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. He has gone above and beyond I personally have a lot of respect for this man and the company that he represents. I would personally recommend to anyone going through this God-awful process known as a divorce.

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!

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.

If you are in need of a fantastic attorney look no further than Toby Kinsler. He makes a great first impression and it is easy to see that he is extremely competent with a high IQ for family law, as he specializes in it. Toby listned to what I had to say and was caring and attentive to my needs. He has a very personal touch, but you know that he will be assertive and fight for you. Toby really cares about your case and is always there for his clients. He truly goes above and beyond. Toby was able to put me at ease through the most difficult time of my life. Knowing that he was working as hard as he was was extremely comforting.

One hears horror stories of people getting lesser attorneys and, as a result, losing time with their children, money, etc. Toby is not one of those attorneys; I could not imagine getting someone better. Most importantly, he did right by our children. I truly feel he saved my family. I am forever indebted to Toby and Sterling Law. He is now part of my family, and he will never be forgotten. Thank you, Toby; you saved my life.

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. Along with being truthful and to the point he certainly was genuine with all his advice. I would definitely recommend Toby and Sterling Law Offices. Thanks.

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 wasn't 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.

Very knowledgeable staff, with great communication at all times. The flat fee pricing is one of the main reasons I went with them. Had enough to worry about, money was not one of them.

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 wasn't 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 didn't 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 wife's attorney who I felt was an embarrassment to herself. Thank you all for getting me through this, I consider you my friends.

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!

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.

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 Toby's help and I would recommend him to anyone that is looking for assistance with their Family Law case.

If you're committed to not lighting your ex on fire while figuring out how to split up your debts/assets and chart a new way forward in a reasonable and equitable manner, I highly recommend mediation with Sterling Law Offices-- especially Toby Kinsler.

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.

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. He was patient and friendly, walking me through the proceedings and helping me weigh out important decisions. I am very satisfied with the outcome of my case and with the support Toby provided me.

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.

Although I am still in the middle of my case, my attorney Mr. Tobias Kindled is a true gift. For the first time, I have been given confidence, stress relief, and honestly eagerness to pursue equal time with my son's. Toby truly treats me like a friend that he's going into battle for. He defiantly believes in what he strives for. Thank you so much for providing the best there is.

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.
