Every result represents a real person whose life we had the honor of fighting for. Here are a few of their stories.
Our client suffered devastating spinal injuries when a commercial truck driver ran a red light at highway speed. Insurance carriers offered a fraction of what was owed. James Sterling took the case to the edge of trial, forcing a $5.2 million settlement that covered a lifetime of medical care, in-home assistance, and wage replacement.
A business owner came to us after discovering her co-founders had been secretly siphoning company assets for over two years. Michael Ross built a meticulous forensic case, exposing the fraud in full before a jury. The verdict awarded $3.1 million in compensatory and punitive damages — and sent a message that Sterling will pursue justice relentlessly.
"Sterling turned what felt like an impossible situation into a $5.2 million victory. I have my life back because of this firm."
"Michael Ross never wavered. He built a case that exposed everything, and the jury delivered exactly what justice demanded."
"From day one, Sterling treated our case as the priority it was. The result exceeded our expectations in every way."
