Handled everything like a pro!

Used John for filing 7 years worth of taxes and filing my bankruptcy. He got everything done with no issues. I provided everything they needed, which they gave me a list for and they handled the rest. I love that I didn't have to worry. Whenever I call or come in with a question, someone was always ...available to answer my questions (even after my case has been closed for months). Very professional and not uptight (which is a plus in my books). Friendly, very trustworthy and everyone in the office remembers who you are. I will continue using him and highly recommend him.

Thank you, Mr Sterbick and Associates

Mr Sterbick and associates worked very closely with my family and I, with a great sense of profesionalism to see us through very difficult times during our bankruptcy process. They kept us very well informed with a step by step attitude. We were given exceptional guidence as they advised us through ...the legalities of bankruptcy. My wife and I highly recommend Mr Sterbicks and associates exceptional services to any who is considering a bankruptcy. They handled all of our affairs with a great sense of expediency to include handling all of our creditors. Thankyou Mr Sterbick and associates for all you have done for us.

Helped us through a very difficult time!

John and his staff are excellent. There is so much paperwork to be done. They are very good at keeping on top of everything. Lorelei was our case administrator and was always got right back to us. Finalizing the last of the paperwork was handled by Pam - she was great. Going through personal ban...kruptcy is a very difficult thing to do. The largest portion of our debt was back taxes. John has tremendous experience dealing with the IRS and he handled all the communication with them. If you are searching - you have found the right team to help you through your difficult time.

Thank you

I just wanted to thank you all your assistance with providing me so quickly the 2011 Tax Returns and bankruptcy documents that I needed urgently for my childrens college financial aid requests. As a result BOTH my children were awarded this week grants and loans so they may return to college and cont...inue their educational path. They will both be back at WSU in just two weeks! I am forever grateful for having found such a compassionate and professional team to help me through what has been a most difficult time. As John said on the first day I came into your office "It will get better" and it has. Thank you so very much, Sarah

Thank You !

Mr. Sterbick, I want to thank you and your entire staff for all the help getting me through my chapter 13. Bankruptcy can be a very scary ordeal and I didn't have a clue what to do. You and Lorelei really made me feel like this wasn't the end of the world and you would get me through it. Again th...ank you and please let Lorelei and the rest of your staff know how much I appreciated all there help. Toby

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.
