Practical, professional and timely advice

Ray not only is a great attorney with very practical advice but his team around him are very professional and responsive too. When you have a problem that requires immediate attention, this really matters. Thank you so much for the help. I recommend Ray for any employee related issue

Highly recommend

I had hired another attroney to review some documents but I was not satisfied. I reached out to a friend who found Ray Sterling for me through an attorney website. From the beginning I was very satisfued with the experience. Ray's paralegal Dawn Estes was very professional and did a great job recordi...ng all of my information so that Ray was fully prepared for our discussion. He provided great insight into my situation and provided me with the pros/cons of our approach. In the end were were able to reach an agreement with the other party that was very satisfactory for me. Ray was also very accessible to me given the deadline I was presented with. He responded quickly to all of my email messages and returned documents ahead of schedule. I am so glad thay I got a 2nd opinion and that I found Sterling Attorney's. I would highly recommend them.

The Best Lawyer

Mr. Sterling is unique. He is a superb attorney who truly cares about his clients. He spent a great deal of time talking with me, getting to know me, and really understanding my case. I have dealt with many lawyers over the years, but I have never met one as dedicated as Mr. Sterling. He was able not... only to understand my case and my needs, but also to obtain a result that surpassed even my expectations. Because of the quality of his representation, I was able to achieve a completely successful result. I know that I would never have been able to have achieved this success without Mr. Sterling's representation. I recommend him to others without any reservations whatsoever.

A compliment from another lawyer always makes my day! Nice to be considered a "lawyer's lawyer."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
