Divorce Expertise

Mr. Sternberg creatively and professionally aided me in my divorce. Calls were returned promptly by his paralegal if he was otherwise occupied in court proceedings. We ultimately used an extremely adept negotiator to more quickly and economically resolve our issues, much to my satisfaction. This p...re-empted long, expensive, and acrimonious court proceedings. He was kind, a good listener, and a creative problem-solver, given his extensive financial background and training. A great combination in a divorce attorney!!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
