Gwendolyn J. Sterk And The Family Law Group P.C.

The Sterk Family Law Group provides exceptional services to families going through the disruption of separation and divorce. The entire team has a family-first attitude to serve their clients in times of uncertainty and stress. Gwen and her team do really put the family first in family law. The firm maintains connections with many service providers, from carpenters to therapists, to support the family. Service providers recommended are personally vetted by the team at the Sterk Family Law Group. The firm also provides excellent connections and supports south Suburban Service agencies such as Kiwanis, The American Cancer Society, Foreveru, and various social agencies. The Sterk Family Law group focuses on and supports families in challenging times.

The entire group is wonderful. Gwen takes the time to get to know clients. She listened and gave advice that I still use to this day. The entire team is so knowledgeable and everyone I spoke to (which was a lot) was so kind, and understanding. They truly helped me see the light at the end of the tunnel. I am so grateful to Gwen and the team!

Not very happy and I didn’t even hire Gwen and her Law Firm. I first filled out the contact form on the website & received a phone call right away. (Definitely wasn’t expecting that!!) The woman on the phone was very nice. Scheduled an appointment. Right before the appointment date, I received a call to reschedule this appointment. It was bad enough as I was super nervous on over-thinking what kind of questions to ask. Appointment was rescheduled. The woman that rescheduled the appointment told me a little about this law firm (how hard they work to make you feel comfortable and help you out every way possible), emailed me a client information sheet to fill out and drop off to office and lots of links to their website. I filled out the paperwork, and the day before my schedule appointment, I turned in my client sheet. The lady in there was nice when I dropped off my paperwork. Now, the day of my phone consultation, I didn’t get to ask any questions. Gwen pretty much told me how much she charged, what her team does, and that was about it. That “free consultation” was a 5-10 minute phone call of a “here’s my price and since you don’t have $5k for the retainer fee, I can’t help you….” I felt awful than I did before I had to call the office to have this so-called-free-consultation…!!! This may be a good law firm, but I wouldn’t want my lawyer to treat me like this when trying to fight a divorce!!

Meeting Gwen was awesome. She was very knowledgeable. However, her other lawyers handled my divorce. I mostly talked to clerks asking for the same information every 3 months. No kids/custody should have been simple, we only owned one house together, but took 3 years! I felt like they just wanted my money. Then after divorce they sent all my paperwork to my ex-husband instead of me!!

I highly recommend this firm for anyone going through a divorce. They were beyond exceptional. I switched to this law group in the middle of my divorce because I felt like I wasn't getting a fair deal. Gwen gave me a free consultation and confirmed my thoughts. During the consultation she didn't just sell her firm. She told me things I should do even if I decided to go with a different firm. Everyone I have spoken with has been friendly and professional. My calls and emails were always responded to within 24 hours, but usually quicker.
