was connected to Rhiannon and we received amazing service from start to finish.
Rhiannon was very clear with what was needed from us and what the possible outcome could be.
Quick responses made the process really smooth and felt very confident having Rhiannon and Nick represent us.

Employment Law Advice

Judith Gould was exemplary in the way she dealt with me and my son. My son has Dyslexia, Stammer and other health issues and I have had two strokes. She took the time to make sure that we both understand exactly the information she was giving, and she clarified a few matters which I had misunderstood her advice on. She gave me confidence to ask further questions and I didn't feel rushed by her explanations. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to anybody that needs to instruct an Employment Law Solicitor. She was very kind and considerate and a credit to your company

Child Arrangement Order

Katie was so supportive throughout the whole court process. She got back to me quickly when I asked her questions upon questions via email. She had time for when I needed to see her face to face during the proceedings. She was available to speak on the phone when I needed her. She was so helpful throughout and I couldn’t have wanted anymore from her. She made me feel at ease throughout & reassured me when I needed it. Even now the proceedings have concluded, she has informed me that if I have further questions, just to email her. Such a lovely lady, so grateful for everything. Was a pleasure to meet and have along the journey.
Thank you again Katie!

Richard Cooper - Excellent, First Class Representation

Richard Cooper represented me as my Barrister in a criminal case that was very complex, detailed and involved a stressful and very long investigation. From the first contact made with Richard, his support was incredible, very professional, dynamic and strategic, simplifying all legal terminology and explaining clearly the likely course of action. Richard understood the merits of the case very quickly and remained focused on how to secure a successful outcome and resolution. At all times, I felt very comfortable and secure with Richard as my Barrister and I will forever be grateful and thankful to him for his dedication and commitment to me and my case. I would recommend Richard Cooper without reservation.

Exceptional Legal Support for Our Family Matter

I can't express enough gratitude for the exceptional legal support via legal aid we received from Soulla Kokkinos, Holly Miles and the entire team at Sternberg Reed. They went above and beyond to help us navigate a complex family matter involving social services, and their dedication truly made a difference in our lives.

From the initial consultation, Soulla and Holly demonstrated a profound understanding of our situation, offering both legal expertise and empathy. Their guidance was not just professional but also compassionate, which meant the world to our family during a challenging time.

Throughout the entire process, the team were responsive, communicative, and thorough. They kept us well-informed about the progress of our case and patiently answered our numerous questions. Their attention to detail and commitment to our case reassured us every step of the way.

What impressed us the most was their dedication to achieving the best possible outcome for our family. They strategized, negotiated, and represented us with utmost professionalism. Thanks to their hard work and legal acumen, we were able to find a resolution that truly put our family's best interests first.

We highly recommend Soulla Kokkinos and the team at Sternberg Reed LLP to anyone seeking exceptional legal support for family matters. Their expertise, compassion, and unwavering commitment to their clients set them apart. We couldn't be happier with the outcome, and we owe it all to their fantastic work.

Thank you, Soulla and Sternberg Reed team, for making a profound difference in our lives. We will forever be grateful for your guidance and support.

Magdalena and the family.

I used Sternberg Reed for conveyancing - I had a difficult experience working with the seller and the sellers solicitor, their communication was poor and I encountered numerous issues.

Raj Sharma and Vicki were a pleasure to work with. Raj gave us expert advice and helped us secure our purchase.
Thank you to Raj and Team!

I had the pleasure of dealing with Richard Cooper since 2014 in a complex case. Richard was professional throughout and represented me exceptionally well from day one. I would not hesitate to use his services again if required and cannot recommend him or Sternberg Reed enough.

the website speaks completely the opposite from real life ,when i called today i had a very poor service i am not going to mention her name but within 2 minutes she told me as a valued customer to slow down not in a nice manner but loudly and then she repetedly told me £240 which i didn't get at all .instead of giving a proper professional service and be nice i do understand is friday probably been hectic for them the whole week there is no need for bad service .i will keep looking i think i will extend my search to seaside bournemouth or brighton they're more relaxed i believe ,bit disapointed i must admit i think you should stay on a furlough imho.
