John is the most experienced, effective and results oriented tax attorney in Washington. John saved me over 50,000.00 in tax related issues. His expertise, willingness be a tireless advocate, and hands on approach is the reason he is so successful. I know of no one who can produce such a positive... solution to your tax problem. My wife and I are grateful. Thank You John!

Taax preparration

John Sterbick and his team did an awesome job. They saved us from owing on our taxes to receiving a refund. He and his team are very knowledgeable on IRS tax laws and we would highly recommend them to anyone at tax time. We will be using their service from now on to do our taxes. The nominal fee is... well worth the money.

highly effective

Mr Sterbick and his staff did a great job of handling my irs issues. Affordable , quickly effective, and very reassuring. The whole ordeal overwhelmed me. Mr Sterbick knew I was stressed and overwhelmed and he made extra efforts to fix the irs problems so I could cope and move forward in life and rec...over. Now several years later I am still very grateful and he still is willing and available to answer questions or concerns. My IRS issues could of made me miserable for life. Thanks to John I have a potential future.

Automobile Accident

Luke (myself) was in a automobile accident mid December of 2011. The vehicle was rear ended and the whole tail end was destroyed; defeated; and hopeless. The damages on the vehicle was beyond repair for the cost. Also, Luke had suffered a concussion. I went and saw a doctor. Shortly after, I call...ed Law Offices of John A. Sterbick for assistance. Andrea Beckman; Hunter McDonald; and John Sterbick took over the collision issues and all the injury reports. They handled everything where I did not have to worry or stress of the doctors; medical bills; insurance companies; agents; phone time; and most importantly, keeping unpaid billing statements from hitting collections. They handled all the issues and solved every problem. Luke, asked for certain dollar amount after everything was done and settled. A year later the John Sterbick team got Luke way more than he bargained for! He was very grateful!. A special thank you to Andrea; Hunter; and John for all your guy's hard work! I appreciate you all very much. I recommend the John Sterbicks Office for all legal matters .. Thanks Again. Luke.
