If your case gets appealed for any reason, Jonathan is exactly the right choice to defend your case. He has a passion for his career choice and educates you throughout the process with his vast knowledge of the law and court process. Court cases are stressful enough and Jonathan's quick communication makes you feel secure in a time of unsurety. I felt confident that Jonathan would get the positive result I deserved and he did! I can't thank him enough!

Jonathan represented me in my divorce judgement appeal. He was ultimately successful in protecting everything originally granted to me by the trial court. During each stage of the appeal, Jonathan advised me of the process and the steps he would be taking. Our main correspondence was via email, and Jonathan always responded promptly. Jonathan knew of my strained financial state as the payment of my settlement was stayed until the conclusion of the appeal. As such, he only completed those briefs and responses which were necessary in order to keep his billable hours to a minimum. His briefs and responses were timely, well-researched and immaculately prepared and written. Jonathan was a consummate professional. What stood out the most to me, though, was his kindness and compassion for my situation. Jonathan truly has a gift for this type of law, and I count myself as extremely blessed to have been represented by him.

I approached Mr. Sternberg after my son was sentenced to seven years in jail as a result of a road rage incident. Though my son was the driver raged against, he was arrested and charged with First Degree Assault and spent 14 months in jail without a trial or possibility of a release on bail. Mr. Sternberg provided a forensic analysis of the trial proceedings and would have been hired to represent my son if the trial or sentencing phases could be revisited. In Mr. Sternberg's assessment of the case, the previous attorney failed at providing an aggressive defense at sentencing, but may have possibly been muted at the discretion of the Judge. In the strategies going forward Mr. Sternberg assured us, would provide little if any relief. We appreciated and respected his honesty. Specifically, Mr. Sternberg was very thorough in his assessments, honest and forthright in his strategies and suggestions regarding our possible next steps.

I sent over 75 letters to attorneys all over Missouri to inquire if they were willing to represent my husband, myself and my two adult children in an appellate case in front of the Supreme Court of Missouri. Mr Sternberg called me, took our matter seriously with compassion, represented us with certainty and litigated until the end with accomplished brilliance. His 3rd-year law student, Allyson Ralls, that was granted special permission by the court to participate, was also sharp and impressive. Mr Sternberg concluded what was a protracted cycle for our family by showing humanity and professionalism; both in which we had lost faith.
