Estate Planning
We went to Sterling to get our Wills done. After 2 meetings we had our Wills and power of attorneys, which was something we had not thought about. He answered all of our questions and made the process simple. I highly recommend Mr. Burleson!

Guardianship for my son
Sterling was a great help to me and my family. He helped me and my husband obtain guardianship documents. He prepared all the paperwork, attended the court hearing, and guided us through the process. I would recommend using him.

"Sterling Burleson is one of the best attorneys in the Colorado City area. He was Baylor trained and is an aggressive advocate for his clients in the courtroom. Mr. Burleson is the attorney I refer anyone to that needs legal representation in and around Colorado City. He has truly set himself apart in the areas of family law, real estate law, and other legal disputes. I highly recommend Mr. Burleson and will continue to refer matters to him anytime I have a client that needs legal representation in his area."
