Richard provided me with clear and precise advice on handling a problem I encountered during the closing of a real estate sale. He was highly responsive and answered all my questions thoroughly. Given the time-sensitive nature of my issue, Richard went out of his way to accommodate my schedule and address my concerns. Few attorneys would extend such efforts for a new client. While hiring an attorney can be costly, Richard's services were worth every penny. I would certainly hire him again and will refer others who may need his expertise. As an attorney myself, I am happy to share that Richard conducted his service to the gold standard that attorneys should strive to maintain. Thank you for your help.

Mr. Sternberg did an excellent job educating me on the different paths forward and how his firm's experience and capabilities could assist me. He also advised me on methods that would be less complicated and cost-effective. The consult was worth every penny.

I paid a retainer for consultation and the drafting of a letter of reply to a not-for-profit organization that was attempting to collect on a claim of a twenty-year-old debt incurred in a European country. Mr. Sternberg took the full hour to listen to my situation and position on the matter, answered all my questions, and left me with a sense of confidence that he was experienced and capable of legally handling my matter. His assistant, Mr. Martz, drafted an eloquent and robust response, which the other party continued to dispute, and I have retained their firm for whatever come next. I greatly appreciated their responsiveness; they were timely and set up the first consult within a few days of contacting them and the letter they drafted was sent out in a business week. I also felt that they listened to me and took the time to explain the matter to my satisfaction. They often caveated their statements, as many legal matters cannot be fully defined, it depends on a multitude of controllable and uncontrollable items, and they were diligent in ensuring that they understood what I could expect and what the most likely (but not guaranteed!) outcomes would be. Lastly, they took the time to reach out when this process was upsetting or making me nervous and ensured that we were progressing in a manner that was organized, coherent, and deliberate as opposed to making hasty, snap judgements. I would unreservedly recommend Mr. Sternberg for anyone that has a civil matter involving real estate and international law. (1st copy of review, posted to multiple websites)

I had a tricky situation with a real estate purchase that had gone awry, and Richard Sternberg was extremely helpful in evaluating the options and helping me sort through them. Highly recommended!

Richard, is an amazing attorney. One of the best! He is extremely knowledgeable in all legal matters but especially Contract Law. I interviewed several lawyers prior whom I either did not want to expend the effort or only promised a tiny fraction of the damages. Richard, on the other hand, took it personal how unjustly I had been taken advantage of. He leveraged his vast experience and by doing a thorough research of Virginia law was able to find several statutes that strengthen my case and ultimately led to winning all damages incurred. I highly recommend him!

Excellent advice and support in our process during in a remarkably difficult time.

Mr. Sternberg and his associate helped me win a personal injury case and they handled it efficiently and professionally while keeping me in the loop through the entire process. They were honest and realistic about what to expect and gave me the autonomy to make the final decisions. I would choose them to represent me again in the future.

My family and I have known Mr. Sternberg decades and he is an honest lawyer that truly care about your situation. He had helped me when he was starting his private practice and his integrity has not buldged even now.

In late fall of 2021 I needed an attorney to help me remove a woman from the house I was given by my mother. The woman refused to leave, and I contacted Mr. Sternberg via Avvo. Now realize I am in Alabama, and the house is in Virginia. Mr. Sternberg and his junior attorney, Zach Martz, was provided as many documents legal documents I had and they requested to help me file a suit against the woman to have her removed. Suit was filed, went to court and the courts decided in my favor, which I very much appreciated. I have now sold the property, but without the expert knowledge from both gentlemen, especially Mr. Sternberg, I would never had the house as it was intended. Thank you Mr. Sternberg!

Mr. Sternberg put my mind at ease and laid out several different options for handling my situation. I appreciate his swift response to my enquiry.

Mr. Sternberg was extremely helpful in advising us on how best to help relatives in another country buy a house.

I highly recommend this attorney for his extensive and comprehensive knowledge of the law and his unparalleled bedside manner. He has the utmost standard of professional. A true pleasure to work with!
