My experience with Sterling Law was absolutely amazing, Robert Keenan and his team made this very difficult process so easy and smooth. If I had any questions about anything I was able to get answers In a timely manner every time. I would recommend them to anyone who is going through any child custody/ placement situations.

I worked with Erin Boyd and she worked tirelessly and covered every angle to protect my rights. Her support staff was very supportive as well. Top notch divorce/family attorney! Highly recommend her.

Awesome attorneys that Listen and are Friendly.

This group has taken over two years to process my mother's estate and today has stated they need a second extension beyond the 18 month closing date. I would not hire this firm for my estate, as this feels as though they are intentionally elongating the processing time.

Right from the start we received detailed information about what was to be expected when you use mediation. Ellen was very prepared and no nonsense. Most of the meetings were done over Zoom which actually went very well --I had my doubts. And Ellen was good and prompt at answering our questions away from the 5 meetings we had. Very hard to get everything into the meetings and not have questions. And the the original divorce date was met even though Lindy and I caused some delays. She addressed our concerns and was accepting of our suggestions. Spread sheets and documents were very well prepared and reviewed in detail. So overall we had a very favorable experience with Ellen--given that a divorce is something I never want to experience again.

Ellen helped my and my family through this tough and stressful time in my life. She was very knowledgeable and thoughtful through the whole process.

I recently went through a divorce. I chose Attorney Ellen Rhodeman based on research and online reviews. She did not disappoint.                   Attorney Rhodeman was very pleasant to deal with while going through a difficult situation. She was attentive and understanding. I was treated with patience and always had things explained to me if I did not understand something. One thing that I valued greatly was her willingness to always tell you what you need to hear, whether good or bad. She was “real” with me about expectations and outcomes and helped me to weigh my options and risks in order to try to secure the best outcome for me.                   Attorney Rhodeman has an excellent knowledge base on which to draw from when representing someone. I can objectively state that I believe that I had the better representation in my case. She was not only familiar with the laws of the state, but also the various judges and jurisdictions and what likely outcomes could be possible based on those variables. This was all very evident in her performance as my counsel.                   Having never gone through a divorce before, I was also unaware of some things that need to be done after the divorce is finalized. Getting set up for a home refinance, or setting up child support, can be confusing. Attorney Rhodeman has helped navigate these post divorce issues with the same quality of service that she provided during the duration of the divorce process. I did not feel “abandoned” once court was over and the divorce was final.                   I would recommend Attorney Rhodeman to friends and family without hesitation.  

Researching attorneys and/or law firms for something as potentially contentious as divorce and child placement can seem so daunting. Whether your situation is straightforward & civil, or feels like a never-ending roller coaster, Ellen Rhodeman is the attorney you need protecting your interests. Along with her knowledge of family law, her objective situational analysis and mediation skills will be your ace in the hole as the case progresses. Ellen is a consummate professional; simply phenomenal from start to finish. Her legal skills are exceptional, and the advice she gave for dealing with my ex was spot on every time. She is a smart, savvy, and supportive attorney who truly cares about her clients. Ellen provided insightful, reasonable and fair advice, actively listened to what was most important to me, and moved to secure those imperatives as efficiently as possible. Contested divorces can be expensive and stressful, but Ellen is always calm, considerate and thoughtful. Every question I asked was answered; she removed the fear and emotion from difficult interactions, remaining focused on the big picture. She responds, rather than reacts, and provided consistently superior strategies that put a stop to some aggressive tactics and delays we were experiencing. I fully credit Ellen’s generation of options and management of expectations during mediation with the resolution of my divorce and placement battle. She completely understood every concern and hard stop I had when it came to compromise and concessions, and remained firm on our position by re-framing the options to preserve these essential requirements. At the same time, Ellen was fully prepared to present the case at trial if it became necessary. The staff at Sterling Law Offices are exceptional as well. From that first tearful phone call to the final congratulatory messages, every person I interacted with was responsive, personable and empathetic. On the scale of your choice, I’ll always give the highest possible rating to Ellen Rhodeman and Sterling Law Offices. Your future is in good hands with them on your side!

Eido Walny is the most honest and sincere as well as sympathetic attorney I have ever had the pleasure to deal with!! He not only gave me the time of day, but he listened to everything I wanted to say to him. He worked with me on a solution that worked for both of us. He was very easy to deal with. I would recommend this legal group to ANYONE looking for help in a legal way!

I highly recommend Ellen Rhodeman with Sterling Law Offices. She was professional but sympathetic, knowledgeable but was willing to research if needed for unusual issues, was organized plus has additional staff members to assist if warranted. In this new era of Covid, she will still meet with clients in person if requested. Divorce is a difficult process for anyone to go through and a client needs to be knowledgeable and thorough communicating their own financial and personal circumstances. Ellen listened and asked questions to view a complete picture of my circumstances. She helped me navigate through this difficult time in my life with a sense of humor, empathy and a positive outlook; if you require representation contact Ellen Rhodeman!

Ellen’s knowledge and compassion, complimented by her ability to keep us on task, helped guide us through this difficult time. She is professional, patient, and personable. This being uncharted territory for my me and my wife, Ellen made it easy for us to understand the process and she answered all of our questions in a timely and straight-forward manner. Our children have been our number one priority and Ellen clearly explained our options and how we could work through everything. She stepped through the many forms with us and filed the necessary documents, making this difficult time more bearable. My wife and I were able to really focus on what was important to us - our children, our home, our belongings - instead of focusing on the negative and breaking down in the process of sorting it all out by ourselves. My wife and I felt it would be appropriate to give Ellen a gift as a way of extending our gratitude, only to find that she requests donations to Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin. If that doesn’t tell you the kind of person she is, I don’t know what would. I recommend Ellen and the mediation services of Sterling to anyone who wants to part ways with their spouse in the best way possible - amicably and agreeably.

I had Attorney Robert Keenan represent me with a recent material settlement agreement. After a rough and very frustrating start with a different firm, Attorney Robert Keenan really stepped up to the plate, and was extremely professional with me, as a client. All questions or concerns were immediately addressed within the hour, or first thing the following morning, with questions I may have had after business hours, either via email or telephone. Communication was absolutely phenomenal to say the least!!! I'm beyond pleased with his services provided during this chapter of my life. I'd highly recommend Attorney Robert Keenan. If you're searching for a great Attorney for representation, search no further.
