Divorce closure

I had a very long divorce due to my ex-husband. I was referred to Gwen because I was with the Thomas GrottA law firm and then he had retired. Gwen helped me find closure in this long, crazy process.

Divorce

Sterk Family Law Group is a great place to work with! I really appropriate them getting me through this tough time. Anne was amazing and always responding to me immediately with any questions I had. She made sure I was prepped for any surprises that could happen. She made sure I had everything I need...ed and continued to guide me through the process. I would highly recommend Sterk Family Law Group and to work with Anne.

4 month Divorced

So beyond helpful. They heard my pain and helped us with easy to follow steps to work out a fair plan that made us both happy to move forward. All said and done in 4 months is a game changer in life where time is so important.

Rebecca

I hired Gwen halfway through my divorce because I felt like my previous attorney was not doing a good job and I was not getting a fair deal. I called Gwen on recommendation from a coworker and had a free consultation with her. During the consultation she did not just sell me on her firm but advised m...e of things to do if I hired someone else. Gwen's whole team was exceptional and made sure I got a fair deal. Everyone on her team is friendly and professional explaining all the steps and terminology along the way. They always responded to my calls or emails within 24 hours or sooner. I only wish I had hired her from the start!
