Amazing!

I could not be more pleased with the service I received from Attorney Ellen Rhodeman. I specifically wanted an attorney that would not be a pushover, and Ellen Rhodeman did not disappoint. She has excellent communication, is extremely knowledgeable, and made the divorce process easier than I ever... though it could be. Ellen is supportive and has a calm, reassuring manner. Additionally, her services were very affordable. I highly reccomend her services!

Outstanding

I recently went through a divorce. I chose Attorney Ellen Rhodeman based on research and online reviews. She did not disappoint.                   Attorney Rhodeman was very pleasant to deal with while going through a difficult situation. She was attentive and understanding. I was treated with pat...ience and always had things explained to me if I did not understand something. One thing that I valued greatly was her willingness to always tell you what you need to hear, whether good or bad. She was “real” with me about expectations and outcomes and helped me to weigh my options and risks in order to try to secure the best outcome for me.                   Attorney Rhodeman has an excellent knowledge base on which to draw from when representing someone. I can objectively state that I believe that I had the better representation in my case. She was not only familiar with the laws of the state, but also the various judges and jurisdictions and what likely outcomes could be possible based on those variables. This was all very evident in her performance as my counsel.                   Having never gone through a divorce before, I was also unaware of some things that need to be done after the divorce is finalized. Getting set up for a home refinance, or setting up child support, can be confusing. Attorney Rhodeman has helped navigate these post divorce issues with the same quality of service that she provided during the duration of the divorce process. I did not feel “abandoned” once court was over and the divorce was final.                   I would recommend Attorney Rhodeman to friends and family without hesitation.

Highly recommend Ellen Rhodeman!

I highly recommend Ellen Rhodeman with Sterling Law Offices. She was professional but sympathetic, knowledgeable but was willing to research if needed for unusual issues, was organized plus has additional staff members to assist if warranted. In this new era of Covid, she will still meet with clien...ts in person if requested. Divorce is a difficult process for anyone to go through and a client needs to be knowledgeable and thorough communicating their own financial and personal circumstances. Ellen listened and asked questions to view a complete picture of my circumstances. She helped me navigate through this difficult time in my life with a sense of humor, empathy and a positive outlook; if you require representation contact Ellen Rhodeman!

Highly Recommend

Ellen was very professional. She is easy to talk to. After the consult, gave the space and time to process at my own pace. Throughout the time it took, she was always reachable and responded promptly via email/text/phone. Helped me through understanding the process and options and what to expect a...nd prepare for it. One thing about Ellen is she very compassionate and kind and understood the situation I was going thru as a father and helping me through an emotionally difficult divorce, which made a big difference to me. I highly recommend Ellen

The Right Choice

It was a long and oftentimes stressful process to get to the end of my divorce, but overall I could not be more satisfied with the result. I believe it was fair and equitable for both sides, and a large part of that is due to Sterling Law Offices and Ellen. One of the main factors in the divorce p...rocess is the attorney, and Ellen is simply great to work with. She has a wealth of experience and a down-to-earth attitude, is very easy to talk to, and was 100% focused on helping me achieve my goals. She helps ensure you're as prepared as possible at each step along the divorce process, and was reachable and responsive over text, email, phone, and video, depending upon the need. I truly felt like Ellen cared about me as a client. Another important factor, and the one that initially drew me to meet with a lawyer at Sterling Law Offices, was the cost. The financial structure with Sterling Law Offices was absolutely what I needed, and Ellen was always available to guide me and answer my questions along the way without me having to worry about added costs. She was also cognizant of helping me avoid extra fees, at one point working at all hours of the day and evening to help reach an agreement and avoid costly mediation. Don't trust just my review...

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Whenever I have a question about a domestic relations matter, Ellen is the first person I consult. Illinois' laws have changed considerably over the past several years and I rely on Ellen to provide me with accurate information for my Clients. In those situations, where my Clients need an Attorney to handle a domestic relations matter, I consistently refer the Client to Ellen for representation. I think that Ellen is an exceptional young Attorney with knowledge and skills way beyond her years, and I would not hesitate to refer a Client to Ellen not only because of her knowledge and skills but because I know that she would be empathetic to their concerns and would be a zealous advocate for their rights. This is of particular importance to my Clients as they tend to be older and more fearful of attorneys and the legal system. I strongly endorse this Attorney."
