For over two decades, Sterling Legal Group has stood at the forefront of legal excellence — building a firm where results, relationships, and integrity are never compromised.
Sterling Legal Group was founded in 2001 by James R. Sterling with a single, defining principle: every client deserves the caliber of legal representation that was previously available only to large corporations and the privileged few.
Starting from a single-attorney practice downtown, Sterling Legal Group has grown into one of the region's most respected full-service law firms — without ever losing the personal touch that defines our client relationships.
Today, our team of seasoned attorneys brings together expertise across business litigation, personal injury, estate planning, family law, real estate, and criminal defense — all under one roof, with a unified commitment to your outcome.
Our values aren't aspirational posters on a wall. They're the standard we hold ourselves to in every client interaction, every filing, and every courtroom appearance.
We tell our clients the truth — about their case, their options, and their chances. Honest counsel is the foundation of a trustworthy attorney-client relationship.
We hold our work to the highest standard. Every brief, motion, and negotiation reflects our commitment to legal excellence and client service.
We are relentless advocates. When you hire Sterling Legal Group, you gain attorneys who fight for your rights as if they were their own.
We are judged by outcomes. Our attorneys leverage decades of experience to maximize every possible advantage on behalf of our clients.
We build lasting client relationships rooted in communication, trust, and genuine care for each person we represent — before, during, and after their case.
We combine time-tested legal strategy with forward-thinking approaches, leveraging technology and modern legal research to give clients every edge.
