From start to finish Emily was so amazing very professional but above all very caring & supportive, I would never have got through the whole case to the end without emily. Her communication was amazing her knowledge & speed to get things done. Everytime I felt anxious worried or down i would speak to Emily & immediately feel reasureured & calm.

Wow, 5 stars, very polite and helpful, I would definitely recommend this firm as they are good at their work, listened to any questions I had. Elvira Orhan absolutely amazing 10/10 thank you so much for helping me. I appreciate you and your firm as a whole

I am incredibly grateful for the support and guidance I have received throughout my family law matters. Elvira was professional, knowledgeable and approachable from the very beginning, and always took the time to explain each stage clearly so I understood what was happening. Elvira’s calm and reassuring manner made a difficult and emotional process far more manageable. I truly appreciate her hard work, attention to detail and the care she showed throughout. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing support with family law matters.

Professional and easy to talk to. Supportive of my case and provided solid advice. Rebecca, Jess and Tom were all very helpful and knowledgable and I felt they understood my case and what needed to be put in place.

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.

Absolutely awful firm to deal with specifically kelly To, im a litigant in person in child arrangements, she has not followed the proceedural rules 2010, she has not followed the code of conduct set out by solicitor regulation authority, barrister kissing his teeth at me because i stood up for myself, another barrister suggesting he could cut contact with my child as the mum told me he suggested it to her probably to line their pockets with more hearings, the most recent barrister wrote an order that doesnt reflect what was agreed in the hearing or ordered by the judge on the day causing me to have no contact with my child going against a child arrangements order and reccomendations from social services, forced me to buy the transcript to correct the illegal sly move they made, good job i have a good understanding of the law and going to ask for an order against them for costs and potentially take them to court to sue for damages. Messed with the wrong litigant in person which i think they have recognised.

DO NOT TRUST THIS FIRM Do not trust this firm. I feel that they used me for their own benefit and persuaded me to remain with them despite the circumstances. This was a family case, and I believe I was misled and taken advantage of. Instead of properly supporting me and acting in my best interests, it felt as though their main priority was satisfying social services rather than listening to my concerns or protecting my rights. I LOST MY CHILDREN WITH THEM AND MY HUMAN RIGHTS.

Have written a review before but they get deleted, much like every other review it seems (it’s suspicious why there are no reviews for this company on google, and I would guess it’s because they hide the negative ones, creative a false positive impression of their business to bring in clientele under a false guise). Sternberg Reed and Elvira Orhan are happy to receive the Legal Aid payments, but don’t do the work required of them in a timely manner. This has resulted in a 1.5 month delay in contact centre proceedings, causing a mother to lose out on contact time with her child. I’m sure my this review will be deleted soon, as clearly I am not allowed to exercise my human right of Freedom of Opinion and Expression, as protected under the UDHR and Article 10 of the Human Rights Act 1998 in UK and European Law.

My daughter used this firm and couldn't speak highly enough of the service, professionalism and compassion from Julian and the rest of the team throughout the 2 ½ year's of private family court proceedings. Would highly recommend Sternberg Reed to anyone, especially those who have endured domestic abuse.

I can't recommend Soulla Kokkinos enough for her knowledge and advice during what was a difficult separation, I initially used Sternberg Reed 4 years ago and after that I spent the last year representing myself as I had learnt a lot and it seemed I could handle it, until my case was escalated to a level I no longer felt comfortable. I went back to Sternberg Reed and they represented me perfectly in the very short time we had to prepare and I could not be happier with the result. I am sure they are great at other things but if you are a father and you are having problems with access to your children I doubt you will find better representation at this price
