              Problems with Product/Service
              Status:
              Resolved
              I hired Sterling Law to represent me in divorce proceedings in May of 2023, wherein I paid them an initial deposit of $3000. Thereafter, I paid them $650 twice a month to pay the remaining balance on the first Phase of our agreement, which would last for the first 150 days of the proceedings. Over the course of our partnership, Sterling did absolutely nothing to move my case forward aside from file a few forms; they even neglected to provide to the courts the evidence of a suicide attempt of my exwife! Every step of the way, Sterling did nothing to service me and essentially gave the opposition everything they asked for without a fight (which I paid for). To resolve this, I would like at least a partial refund of the money I paid them, as they did not fulfill the terms of service which I had paid them for.

              This law office is an absolute joke. They take your money and do nothing to actually help their clients. Then they ask for more money after 120 days of doing absolutely nothing for your case.
