Very blessed to have found Sternberg Reed.
After 7 years of extensive family proceedings I started to lose hope in the legal system and found it hard to trust again, until I was recommended Sternberg Reed by a friend my relationship with Sternberg Reed became strong very quickly where they offered support when needed and were always available. They believed in me and wanted to resolve the issues as quick as possible so our family could finally move forward. This had all been achieved by all the members of staff that supported me and the children and I'm extremely grateful. Thank you to all the staff at Sternberg Reed Barking. Jeanine Cherry

Big thank you -from Kirstie.c
The usual timescale for these types of cases is 26 weeks however because of covid and the complexity the case took 18 months. However, soulla made this period as smooth for me as she possibly could and working very hard. If I was unsure on something she would call me to explain it. I would like to say a big thank you to soulla for all your hard work organising a lot of things. Especially a new KC as rebeka was not available for my ff. would like to say thank you to rebeka aswell for all your help. In addition I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who worked with soulla on this case. Thank you so much, my babies are now home where they belong. Thank you so much again soulla!!

Very experienced solicitors
I have been in contact with my solicitor Soulla for a serious family matter since 2019, I can’t thank her & her team (Lauren, Kainat) enough for all the hard work they have put into my case, I won my court case and I can now enjoy family life with my son. I would highly recommend sternberg Reed solictiors Barking for any matters you have. If in the future I need legal help then I would always return back to these solictiors. Staff are very professional and very polite

Very positive experience
Soulla is very professional and went above and beyond to make sure I had the best outcome in court. My case followed a a very lengthy proceeding lasting over 3 years. She was on the case, following up and answering my emails promptly, making sure I was represented by most appropriate counsel in each court hearing. She was very supporting, giving a human touch and remaining professional. The paralegal staff was also exceptional in their job.
I would definitely recommend Sternberg Reed.
