Needing a criminal defense attorney is a scary experience but Justin immediately put me at ease when I met with him and hired him and I knew I was in good hands. He was the only lawyer I met with that didn't just give me lip service and brag about about themselves! He answered all of my questions, was always there for me, and I personally saw Justin in court doing his thing. Never once did he have another lawyer touch my case which is VERY common with many defense attorneys. I never felt like I was in the dark about my case, and he knew my case backwards and forwards. He handled my main case which was in Van Nuys and probation violation out of the Airport Court and was able to make everything go away with no jail, a reduced charge, and termination of my violation case. Next year Justin will go back to court for me for the sealing of the case and arrest. Catching a case is a horrible experience but thank goodness there are lawyers out there like Justin. Don't waste your time and money with anyone else. Justin really does check all of the boxes and then some!!

The only thing thats more impressive than Justins quiet confidence is his ability to work magic in the courtroom. Justin was involved in my case from start to finish. He oversaw my criminal case which was dismissed and then he took on the cops in my federal case against the LA county. His professionism and mastery of what he does shines and let me tell you the other side RESPECTS him. Justin was the hammer I needed when the odds were stacked against me and the result speaks for itself. HUGE WIN!

I cannot say enough about Justin, his dedication, skill, and preparation was the difference. A real professional and methodical in his approach but a real SOB when he needed to be he decimated the other sides case piece by piece. Having him in my corner let me expose the cops as the liars they were Justin destroyed them in court which got me to the result we had set out to get. THANK YOU MR. STERLING YOU ARE INCREDIBLE.

Many thanks to Mr. Sterling, he represented my husband for very serious charges. Almost all other lawyers quoted me a much higher fee than him, i must say double. He is upfront and transparent of his opinions and suggestions. Although he doesn't get back to us quickly because we understand that he also has other clients, but he did reply as soon as he can. Very professional as soon as he walks in the court and he negotiated well with the DA. Very knowledgeable and we thank God we got the best results. My husband ended in a diversion instead of jail time and without strike. Thank you Mr. Sterling, God bless you and your family.

Justin represented me and my family on two seperate occasions. The first was the criminal case and the false charges of resisting arrest and battery on police officers. Justin went to trial and won. Not guilty on all charges. The second was when he filed law suit against the police and county based on the excessive force that was used against me and my family in the same case. He won a money settlement for my family right before trial. Justin's the man! A huge fighter and cared about me and my family!! The guy doesn't stop until he gets what he set out to do!!

Our family hired Justin to represent our son in a criminal case out of the Pasadena courthouse. Justin was always well prepared in court and responsive to calls and emails. Most importantly Justin was effective in court. He prevented the DA from raising bail to 1 million dollars at the arraignment and convinced the judge to drop certain charges at the preliminary hearing. Before reaching the trial stage, Justin was successful in negotiating for my son's release. After 4 months the nightmare was over thanks to Justin's efforts. If you are looking for an honest lawyer that will get results look no further. We trusted Justin with our son's life and he ended up saving our son from a certain prison sentence. God Bless you.

My son was charged in a criminal misdemeanor case by the LA City Attorney. We interviewed three local LA attorneys and narrowed it down to Justin Sterling and one other. Although we felt comfortable with both, we finally opted for Justin based on his extensive experience, his familiarity with the court in question, the other reviews I read, and his straight forward assessment of the situation.
Justin gave us what I considered to be a realistic assessment of the case and an outline of the possible outcomes without promising the moon. As the case progressed Justin presented us with the status and his strategy and the back up plans should the case take an unexpected twist. After several hearings Justin achieved the best possible result - a complete dismissal of the charges.
I strongly recommend the services of Justin Sterling to anyone facing criminal prosecution.

Justin represented our father in the Van Nuys courthouse. We met with numerous lawyers before ultimately going with Justin. His candor, attitude, and experience convinced us he was the right fit for our family and the type of case our father was being prosecuted for. We were also persuaded by the fact that Justin was referred to us by another criminal defense lawyer in Los Angeles who was referring more serious cases to him since she had just had a baby. Justin is polished, experienced, and aggressive. If it hadn't been for the referral we likely would have never been made aware of his experience and trial ability. Justin doesn't sell himself that way and never really spoke about himself other than telling us what we could expect and asked lots of questions before taking our case. Once retained, we were thrilled with our decision. Justin was responsive to our calls, request for meetings, and countless questions. Our father is free today because of the work Justin did. If you are looking for an honest attorney, expereinced and respected within the Van Nuys courthouse, look no further. Our family would highly recommend Justin and his office.
