Amazing support & care through worse time in my life

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.

Elvira Orhan - Family Law Matter

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.

from Sternberg Reed LLP

Thank you for sharing such wonderful feedback! Navigating family law matters can be an incredibly difficult and emotional process, so we are absolutely delighted to hear that Elvira's calm, reassuring manner and approachable nature made things far more manageable for you. We wish you all the absolute best moving forward into this next chapter!

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.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this deeply moving and profound review, Barney. Going through a divorce is undoubtedly one of the most overwhelming chapters a person can navigate, and as you beautifully noted, it requires placing an immense amount of vulnerability and trust in the professionals standing in your corner. Hearing that R. Viola and her team became your steady anchor offering not just exceptional legal advice, but true guidance, reassurance, and stability when you needed it most. Striking that delicate balance between fierce professionalism and genuine empathy is a rare skill. It is wonderful to hear how much you valued R. Viola’s integrity, her realistic 'voice of reason' guidance, and her ability to make a complex, daunting legal process feel clear and manageable. Your note regarding her willingness to collaborate with specialists to ensure you received the absolute best outcome speaks volumes about her dedication to your family's future. We are absolutely overjoyed that this journey culminated in a positive outcome for both you and your child, alongside a fair financial settlement. Thank you for trusting us to guide you through the storm, and we wish you and your child nothing but peace, happiness, and bright new beginnings.

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

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.
