“Sterling & Associates didn’t just win our case — they changed the trajectory of our company.”
Built on Principle.
Robert Sterling spent fifteen years at one of Los Angeles’ largest firms, handling nine-figure disputes for Fortune 500 clients. He won. Often. But somewhere between the billable hours and the corner office, he realized the clients who needed the best representation were rarely the ones who could afford the biggest firms.
In 2003, he left to build something different. Sterling & Associates was founded on a simple conviction: every client deserves the caliber of counsel typically reserved for corporate boardrooms. We are a team of trial attorneys, negotiators, and strategists who believe that personal attention and relentless preparation win cases.
Two decades later, we remain deliberately small. We do not take every case that walks through our door. We take the ones where we can make a material difference, and we see them through. Our clients are not case numbers. They are families, business owners, and individuals facing the most consequential moments of their lives. That responsibility is one we never take lightly.
