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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review for Matthew Tye – Sternberg Reed LLP

I recently worked with Matthew Tye from Sternberg Reed LLP on a criminal matter, and I could not be more satisfied with the service and outcome. From the very beginning, Matthew demonstrated outstanding professionalism, deep legal knowledge, and genuine commitment to achieving the best possible result for me. Throughout the case, he provided clear and consistent communication, keeping me fully informed at every stage. He explained complex legal issues in a way that was easy to understand, ensuring that I always felt involved and aware of my options. His attention to detail and strategic approach were instrumental in securing a very positive settlement in my case. Matthew also showed great empathy and understanding, which made a stressful situation far easier to manage. He was approachable, patient, and always willing to answer questions, no matter how small. His calm and confident manner in court gave me reassurance that my case was in capable hands. Overall, my experience with Matthew Tye and Sternberg Reed LLP has been excellent. I would highly recommend Matthew to anyone seeking expert representation in a criminal case. His professionalism, dedication, and results speak for themselves.

Family Law

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.

Little to no contact

I have HAD to use sternberg reed for my fathers probate since september 2024. They contact has been unnacceptable i was originally using charles and lisa who then later left the company mideay dealing with the probate (which i was not informed) to find this out contacted the office to find out someone else was now dealing with this i have asked her now 7 times to contact me with an update and since have been feeling next to ignored. They havent even called me after several voicemails since march. This has left me feeling frustrated and made a already stressful process ten times worse. My strongest suggestion if using the canterbury branch for a will move it while you can.

from Sternberg Reed LLP

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
