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

Keep it simple!

Ray Sterling did a fantastic job for me with a unique employment issue. He met with me and quickly understood the intricacies of my case and developed a strategy for success.

Employment Law

Sterling Associates handled my case in a very timely manner, and at a price that was reasonable. The knowledge and professionalism of the staff on Employment Law exceeded expectations. I will be returning to them in the future when seeking future legal advice or counsel.

Instilled Confidence

I had interviewed three attorneys that included Ray Sterling. He set himself apart from the others in the beginning by being honest in his answers and up front of the challenges facing me with a non compete contract I had with my last employer. It was many months after that conversation in which I c...ontracted Ray Sterling to do my bidding for me. He set the tone early on with expectations to both parties, he never wavered on my behalf and reached a very fair settlement for me and my family. My future employment was secured that allowed me to practice my craft in an industry of 34 years after that as well. I am truly grateful to Raymond Sterling and his law offices. I would encourage anyone no matter how far under the bus they feel they may be, to reach out and contact him. He will drag you out, dust you off and send you on your way feeling whole again. His experience, professionalism and manner are inviting and comfortable. This is a great man and I will be grateful to him for a long time to come.

Outstanding counsel

Mr. Sterling and his outstanding team represented me in a high profile employment case. He is an effective strategist and has a great deal of credibility amongst his peers. Mr. Sterling worked tirelessly towards ensuring the client had the best legal representation. Regardless of the time spent he w...as more focused on the outcome and the health and well being of the client, instead of being driven by the economics. I would strongly recommend Mr. Sterling and his hard working professionals, specifically Ms. Jennifer Lord to my closest family and friends.

  • 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.
