Edward Jacob Sternisha

Ed Sternisha is not only highly competent, but an incredibly kind person. I was facing a first offense OWI and BAP refusal. I am from out of state and new to the area, having just moved here three weeks prior for my job. I was extremely afraid and thought I was on the verge of losing my job as I co...uld've faced license suspension, upon other charges. Ed helped me along the way, did his due diligence not only in giving the best legal advice, but requesting and reviewing dash cams, etc. He is the most knowledgable person in terms of DUI charges but also kind. He truly helped me to get through not only the legal aspect of this incredible ordeal, but was there every step if the way reassuring me I would get through it, and I did, with his help.

Ed Sternisha is an exceptional attorney. To say he exceeded my expectations in the work he did on my case is an understatement. I was arrested for 1st offense OWI and refusing the breathalyzer. Ed rigorously investigated every aspect of my arrest. He even went so far as to explore the employment his...tory of my arresting officer which revealed information that was later helpful when he negotiated with the prosecutor to get my case dismissed and converted to a minor civil traffic ticket. In addition to Ed's outstanding legal prowess, he's also just a really kind and compassionate man. His fees are remarkably reasonable. He is easy to contact. In fact, Ed actually answers his own phone and I think he picked up every time I called him. I usually don't write reviews but I was compelled to make an exception for Ed. I honestly didn't think lawyers like this existed. Ed has a keen legal mind and meticulous investigative practices. Most importantly, he is a person who really cares about his clients. Getting arrested for a crime is a stressful life crisis and Ed helped me and made me feel secure throughout the entire process.

I hired Ed to help me with an old owi charge I never took care of as a young adult. Ed advised me that my case probably would not be able to stand in trial, and was able to get me a very satisfactory plea agreement which dismissed a different charge, and lowered my owi to a lower offense. During se...ntencing Ed did a excellent job of conveying my situation of living out of state and my need to return home promptly to the judge; as a result I received no probation that would hinder my need to leave the state. I believe that the results if my sentincing could not have gone any better. Ed has an excellent repoir with everyone I noticed he came in contact with at the courthouse. He was very friendly with every employee at the courthouse, from the clerk, to the judge; and seemed very well respected by all. I think this respect he has helped my case go smoothly and gave it an upper hand over other attorneys I have been involved with in the past. Like most people, I don't have a large sum of money available for surprise situations like an owi. Ed was very accommodating and we were able to set up a payment plan, he began working on my case immediately after our intial consultation. His method of billing is very fair, and he counts the time down to the minute, his service is well worth the cost. During this whole nerve wrecking situation, Ed stood by my side and made everything as easy for me as he could. I would recommend his service to anyone. Thanks again Ed!

I retained the services of Mr. Sternisha after I acquired my 2nd OWI offense (High BAC). This happened to me at a point in my life in which I didn't believe in much, let alone myself. Lost, would be a nice way to put it. After going thru the book I came across Mr. Sternisha and gave him a call for co...nsult over the phone. After about a week I decided to give him my business, although still unsure. Not in him, but within myself. This is a scary time for anyone and when I discovered the details of my OWI, I was even more apprehensive that this would turn out anything but bad for me. But from the VERY first meeting with Mr. Sternisha, until the last time we spoke Mr. Sternisha instilled in me the confidence to believe that I could and would get thru this most difficult part of my life. And, to me, the biggest thing that he did for me (besides his most exceptional service) is that. And the trust that I had in him was implicit. Mr. Sternisha was careful and VERY clear to make me understand what I was facing. And didn't want to guarantee anything that he would not be able to deliver. However, I did follow his guidance thru and thru and I must say I got the absolute best result for my case and ALL of my expectations were met. Mr. Sternisha is thorough, knowledgeable and fair. At no point did I ever feel that I had the wrong lawyer representing me. Not one phone call went un-returned and any question I had, from court to billing and everything in between had an answer. And after all of this was done, Mr. Sternisha made it clear to me that if he was needed in the future , for anything, that he was nothing more than a phone call away. I am forever grateful for what Mr. Sternisha did for me. Not only for his representation and for me as his client, but for me as a father and a man. When someone goes the extra mile to help you, especially at your lowest moment, you remember and you never forget what that person did for you. Thanks to Mr. Sternisha I have my life back together. He told me that we would make the best of this, and we did. I FULLY endorse Mr. Sternisha to anyone who is going thru OWI/DUI issues. You will not be disappointed. -HIRE ED STERNISHA!!!-
