Outstanding Support and Legal Service

I am extremely grateful to Alexandra and her team at Sternberg Reed for their outstanding support throughout my case. From the very beginning, they have been highly professional, clear, and responsive. Every query was dealt with quickly and thoroughly, and I always felt reassured that I was in safe hands. Special thanks to Alexandra for her expertise and guidance, to Maggie for her efficiency and support, and for appointing Sophie as my barrister who represented me excellently in court. Thanks to their preparation and professionalism, the declaration was made at the first hearing, which was such a relief. Sternberg Reed is a highly professional, reliable, and caring legal firm, and I would strongly recommend their services to anyone in need of trustworthy legal representation.

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.

I wish to personally thank Mr Dean Emery, Litigation Executive, for his prompt, forthright, professional advice when I recently found myself in need of legal counsel on an urgent matter. The specialist advice I was given by Mr Emery proved invaluable and saved me a considerable amount of time and personal commitment.

Family Law

During difficult times, it helps to surround yourself with competent, good and moral people.

Divorce is an incredibly difficult and often overwhelming experience. At the outset, I had no idea just how challenging it would be, nor how much trust I would need to place in people I had only just met. During one of the most stressful periods of my life, I found myself speaking to Ms Viola and her team more frequently than I spoke to family or friends. From the very beginning, Ms Viola and her team made sure the process was handled as smoothly as possible. They provided far more than legal advice; they offered guidance, reassurance and stability at a time when I needed it most. Without exaggeration, they helped me through the worst period of my life. One of the qualities I appreciated most was Ms Viola’s integrity. Throughout the case, she ensured that we maintained an honest, transparent and professional approach, regardless of the challenges we faced. Ms Viola showed exceptional empathy and understanding while also being the voice of reason when I needed clear and realistic advice. She struck the perfect balance between compassion and professionalism, making me feel supported whilst ensuring I remained focused on achieving the best possible outcome. Her communication skills are outstanding. She took the time to explain a complex and unfamiliar legal process in a way that I could understand, kept me informed about developments, and helped me know what to expect at each stage. Most importantly, I always felt listened to and understood. Both Ms Viola and her team were consistently responsive, approachable and generous with their time. I was also impressed by her depth of knowledge and expertise. At the same time, she was never hesitant to seek specialist input from colleagues when appropriate, demonstrating a commitment to providing the best possible advice rather than simply relying on her own judgement. I would not hesitate to recommend Ms Viola and her team to anyone facing family law proceedings. Their professionalism, expertise, compassion and unwavering support made an enormous difference during an exceptionally difficult time, and I will always be grateful for their help. They helped me achieve a positive outcome for my child and I and receive a fair financial settlement.

Great advice from a friendly firm.

Alex and the team were recommended to me by a family friend, so that is always a good way to receive a recommendation. The advice and warmth I received was excellent and reassuring, and Alex and Arooba were easy to communicate with and easy to talk to. The advice they gave me helped me achieve the divorce settlement I wanted from the beginning and I am very thankful for their help.

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.

Richard Cooper the assigned solicitor for my partner’s case, got us a better outcome than we’d endeavoured. Although the case was finalised, I had a lot of questions following this, which Mr Cooper was always at hand to answer He’s been immensely supportive and professional, he never once made me feel that I’m bothering him. He works transparently with no sugar on top
