From the initial conversation with Joanne I was impressed by her clarity and attention to detail. My sale was handled by Olivia whose professionalism, expertise and assurance was so consistent. I felt my case was in such competent hands with all the team working together. Thank you especially to Olivia for making this stressful process run smoothly.

The Solicitor You Want On Your Side

Richard Cooper communicates clearly both verbally and in writing, provides honest and realistic advice, and maintains a high level of professionalism that inspires trust and confidence. His ability to manage complex matters is reflected in the quality of case management in court, which has been positively recognised by judges. The judge commented that the 'the solicitor behind the case did a stellar job' and that she 'commended him' as it was clear he 'went above and beyond' to reach the conclusion we wanted. His attention to detail, and a clear focus on achieving the best possible outcome is very evident. He is a super knowledgeable individual and no matter what always remains calm. A key strength of this firm is the combination of expert legal knowledge and outstanding client care. They work closely with highly skilled barristers, which makes a real difference to the outcome of a case. Compared with other firms, they stand out for their professionalism, depth of knowledge, and dedication to their clients. They are organised, efficient, and communicate clearly throughout, ensuring clients feel supported and confident that every possible step is being taken on their behalf. I would highly recommend using Sternberg Reed. Thank you Richard for all that you have done. You are definitely in the right job!

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!

These Solicitors were just terrible when we used them, i know now why the solicitor who is partner was so cold... he was looking to get as much money out of us as possible. They NEVER discussed the cost's of phone calls and emails etc until we got the bill. When we went to court they sent a solicitor who didn't know our names never mind the case. We lost our home because they poor work .... I would check what you do with them, like the costs and how long they take to do things. DONT USE THEM

I am dealing with Mr Raj/Vickki, to purchase property. I must say they are super amazing. In past I users different solicitors in Leeds, they have big names but are rubbish. I would highly recommend everyone to get in touch with vickki and Raj if you need to sell or buy property. They are super fast and easily approachable. They are on almost all the bank panels. Thank you Guys for helping me.

A representative from Sternberg Reed LLP responded to this review

Hi Anil, great to hear you are happy with the service provided by Raj and Vicki. They make a great team and are always happy to see their hard work rewarded. Please do feel free to tell your friends about us, if they are looking to buy or sell a property, or have any other legal questions. We look forward to helping you in the future. Warmest regards SR

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.

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
