John Anton Sterbick

I want to take this opportunity to both thank John Sterbick for the excellent legal advice and services he provided me throughout the long process of fighting with the IRS. They were charging me a lot of money simply because they did not agree or want to allow home-based real estate broker business ...expenses. Through his understanding and years of legal representation on tax issues, he was able to negotiate the amount I would owe by reducing that amount by 90%. He saved me thousands of dollars. Additionally, I want to take note that his fees were extremely reasonable. Based on standard area legal fees, I saved several thousands of dollars. John’s office is not the typical office you would expect with someone of his years of experience. You will not find flashy columns adorning a white concrete or brick building. You see a modest building that houses a reasonable accommodation for himself, other lawyers, and their staff. Yet, he produces results. Besides his tax practice, he also provides services in bankruptcy and personal injury. I would highly recommend him and his staff to work on any of these legal issues. I know the representation will be professional, competent, honest, and render the best possible results. If you have the IRS on your tail, injured, or facing enormous financial liabilities, give John a call. You will be glad you did. I have over 30 years of legal experience myself, I have worked with and personally known thousands of lawyers. You will not find a better person to represent you than John Sterbick.

I came to Mr. Sterbick a couple of years ago to resolve a nasty tax issue where I had been audited due to not being able to show oil change receipts to back up mileage logs. This resulted in me oweing over $50K in interest and penalties. Mr. Sterbick not only correctly advised me to file CH 13 after... representing me to the IRS, but moreover advised waiting a year so that the last year under audit would be covered. We waited this out for well over a year, and recently filed. It was the best decision I've made, as my credit score actually went up 100 points simply by cleaning out all of the old debt and resetting things so to speak. I can't speak highly enough about Mr. Sterbick and his entire team as they didn't treat me as a number but rather acted as a consultant for my specific situation and provided a long-term solution that end the end was very beneficial to me. This was a huge ugly mess that was handled expertly and with thought and compassion. I highly recommend Mr Sterbick and his team.

I contacted Mr. Sterbick’s office to consult him regarding my bankruptcy. I had previously retained an attorney in Seattle that was not familiar with combat related disability exemptions. I met with Lorelei who confirmed that the income we were receiving from my husband’s combat related disability wa...s exempt. I retained their services and provided them with the requested information. I felt that we had some complex situations and Mr. Sterbick and his staff were consummate professionals. During the process I had some questions regarding toll bills in the state of Texas. Ray (another paralegal) maintained his composure despite how frustrated I was. We went to our Creditors Hearing meeting, and the next day heard from Lorelei. She told us that the Trustee reported No Distributions, and there were no exempt-assets. We should receive our discharge in 60 days. I was very happy with the services and the level of knowledge displayed by the attorney and staff. I would recommend A. Sterbick & Associates to anyone.

Filing a chapter 7 was a difficult decision for me. After meeting with Lorelei and John some of my anxiety was eased. They explained the entire process to me and I decided to file. My case was a little difficult because of my income, however, they made no false promises but assured me that they woul...d work hard for me. John and Lorelei were amazing throughout the entire process. I had tons of questions but they were patient and worked me through each step of the filing. Both were professional and personable. I highly recommend Sterbick and Associates.
