Thank you so much for that nice review. It was my pleasure to assist you and wish you lots of continued success in your practice.
I highly recommend Jim Baker as an attorney for any employment issue. In my experience, he was thorough, personable, professional, and demonstrated a genuine care for my situation. He seemed to always be available for a phone call to discuss my situation and share his advice, which was very comforting. Thanks to Jim’s guidance, what could have been a stressful and overwhelming process became very manageable. Again, if you’re looking for an employment lawyer who is knowledgeable, competent, and committed to their clients, Jim Baker is your guy!

You were a great client to work with and we appreciate that!
James Baker was outstanding! He handled my case with professionalism, clear communication, and genuine care from start to finish. He fought hard on my behalf and delivered the exact outcome and settlement I was hoping for. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney! I highly recommend Jim to anyone in need of expert legal representation!

Thank you. We always strive for excellence and appreciate you sharing your thoughts.
I had an excellent experience working with Brian and Sterling Employment Law for employment-related legal services. From our first conversation, he was responsive, approachable, and clear in his communication. He kept me informed every step of the way and always took the time to explain my options and next steps. Brian was not only knowledgeable and efficient but also genuinely cared about helping me achieve the best possible outcome. His professionalism and trustworthiness gave me great peace of mind throughout the process. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking effective, compassionate, and reliable legal support.

You were a wonderful client to work with and we're so glad we could help you get such a great result!
Can’t really speak for the quality of their work but I reached out about retaining them and never heard back one way or another. I have found in my personal experience that attorneys who don’t have their direct email or phone on their website are usually a waste of time and bad on the business side of things.
Edit: it’s always exhausting when companies use some lame excuse like we don’t have a record of you. Yeah, that’s the problem. I called about possibly retaining you guys and no one called back. Thanks for affirming that.
Owner response
Andrew, we do not have a record that you contacted us. Since there are several other firms with similar names, is possible this is a mistake?
After being separated from my former employer in a company-wide layoff, I was informed that the company had decided not to honor a substantial part of my severance agreement. I explored my legal options and looked at many different law firms before reaching out to Sterling Employment Law. I am glad I did.
I spoke with attorney James Baker, we discussed the case as well as the different options available to me. Initially we anticipated the company would be reasonable and decide to settle after being approached by Sterling Law. Unfortunately, they weren't and James ended up having to represent me for the next 18 months through arbitration with the company.
Throughout the entire ordeal, he was professional, communicative, encouraging and respectful of my input and ultimately won the case on my behalf for the full amount originally included in the severance agreement.
I would highly recommend him and his firm.

We're so happy we could assist you with a great outcome!
I was introduced to Attorney Brian Farrar by a friend and this turned out to be my lucky day. After that everything went smoothly and I was able to calm down. I highly recommend this law firm if you have any employment issues. They listen carefully and go out of their way to help and fight on your behalf.
. I contacted several firms before finding sterling. And my counsel Brian kept on top of everything that came our way. Kept me informed was detailed in explaining all things involved with our process and had an attitude that showed he cared. I am grateful for the services provided by sterling and its lawyers.

You were a great client and it was my pleasure to assist you.
Carol Laughbaum and Sterling Employment Law were absolutely outstanding. From the very beginning, Carol was incredibly attentive and took my case without hesitation. She was by my side through every step of the litigation process, always making sure I felt comfortable and informed. Carol promptly addressed all my concerns, offering both education and reassurance when I needed it most. Her professionalism and understanding, combined with her unwavering determination against the opposition, led to a positive outcome that I am deeply grateful for. Thanks to Carol, I feel exonerated and at peace. I highly recommend Carol and her team to anyone in need of exceptional legal representation.

I highly recommend James Baker and the staff at Sterling Employment Law. James created a 5-star experience for me.
An unexpected separation can stir up a torrent of emotions. James Baker helped me transition through my separation with calm and resolve. He helped me understand the best options and created a compelling representation of my position to opposing counsel. His expertise was essential in negotiating a fair separation agreement with a focus on both short-term and long-term benefits and protections.
In the final days of negotiation, I was recovering from a surgical procedure. James demonstrated such professionalism and expertise; I was able to focus fully on my recovery without the compiled stress that could have been associated with this separation. Thank you James!
