About Raymond

Million Dollar Advocates Forum Lifetime Member, Super Lawyers, Best Lawyers in America, and Martindale-Hubbell AV rated attorney Raymond J. Sterling focuses his practice on employment and commercial law counseling and litigation. Mr. Sterling was a full partner and on the board of directors of Driggers Schultz & Herbst until forming Sterling Attorneys at Law, P.C. in 2008.

Approximately 20 years ago, Mr. Sterling broadened and diversified his management-oriented practice to also include representation of individuals -- this provides a unique insight into the opposing parties' goals and strategies in all consulting and litigation matters. Mr. Sterling also counsels his clients on virtually every aspect of employment and contract law from pre-employment contract negotiations through termination.

Mr. Sterling was the lead trial attorney in the two largest employment discrimination verdicts in the history of the federal court in Michigan -- he won $10.6 million in the internationally-publicized landmark case of Weber v. Infinity Broadcasting, and $5.5 million in Morton v. Unisys Corp. (known as the perfume case). Mr. Sterling just recently won a breach of employment contract case valued at over $10 million in the Wayne County Circuit Court in Martens v. Plastech; he also achieved a $1.0 million judgment for his client in the Oakland County Circuit Court case of Morgan v. Visual Services Inc. and an $850,000 jury verdict in the Oakland County age discrimination case of Sawa v. Koppy Corp. Mr. Sterling has a widely-recognized reputation for being one of the best employment discrimination and wrongful discharge attorneys.

Mr. Sterling is a frequent speaker concerning emerging employment law issues at seminars for the Michigan State Bar, the Institute for Continuing Legal Education, the Michigan Trial Lawyers Association, and the Oakland County Bar Association.
