Verified ClientHired Attorney 2025-2026I initially came across Ken through his work in the entertainment industry, but most recently had the opportunity to work with him on a complex HOA matter. Despite HOA law not being his primary specialty, Ken's performance exceeded that of several HOA-focused attorneys I encountered during the process. His ability to quickly understand the nuances of the matter, think strategically, and stay several steps ahead was genuinely impressive. Ken is knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely cares about his clients. He is always looking for reasonable resolutions and what he calls "soft landings," but when necessary, he will fight like a lion for his clients and their interests. What I appreciated most was that Ken never sugarcoated the situation. He provided a realistic assessment of the risks, costs, and likely outcomes at every stage, even when it wasn't what I wanted to hear. That honesty and clarity are incredibly valuable when navigating a difficult matter. I would gladly recommend Ken to anyone looking for excellent legal counsel.

Verified ClientHired Attorney 2026I rarely write reviews, but Ken Sterling (aka Wildcard) and his team earned this one. They successfully removed false negative reviews and copyright-infringing material from social media and across the web on our behalf. Professional, responsive, and effective. Highly recommend.

Verified ClientHired Attorney 2024-2025Ken helped me negotiate a settlement that I was comfortable with. His communication with me and the opposing side was thorough and transparent, and I very highly recommend him as an attorney.

Verified ClientHired Attorney 2024Ken Sterling is the absolute best. With his knowledge, experience and demeanor, he took control and outperformed on my case. Throughout the process, he was consistent with calls, emails and follow-ups with myself and the opposing party. Always patient with me and explained everything thoroughly, which really helped to take a lot of the stress away. I couldn't have found a better person to help me with my case. I highly recommend Ken to anyone who is looking for an attorney who looks out for your best interest and will get you results.
