About Sterling Lawyers, LLC

Sterling Lawyers is the largest family law firm in Wisconsin, with 21 lawyers, and is expanding its Illinois team, which currently has seven lawyers. Founded in June of 2014 as a general practice firm, Sterling Lawyers pivoted to focus entirely on family law in February of 2016.

Some competing firms are surprised at Sterling Lawyer's growth and success, because we treat both clients and coworkers with respect and kindness. We are not surprised, because we consider that combination essential to doing right by one another and building a sustainable business.

All legal services at Sterling Lawyers are fixed fee. We have zero hourly cases. And, to become and stay masters of our craft, we only take on divorce, paternity, prenuptials, and post-judgment cases.

The Sterling Lawyers practice invested significantly into our technology platform and uses many automations and time saving processes so that our attorney team spends more time doing the important work: helping families and practicing law. At the same time, each lawyer has support from teammates who specialize in specific tasks, such as e-filing.

We hope you consider applying to our firm, where our teammates enjoy unparalleled compensation opportunities, extensive practice support, deep job security, and a front row seat on one of the most innovative law firms in the United States.
