I highly recommend Ms. Sturges to anyone looking for a family attorney. I have known Ms. Sturges since 2013 and this review is well over due. Ms. Sturges has represented me in 2 different family cases. Ms. Sturges has helped me win both of my cases by being well prepared and staying professional at moments of pressure. Ms. Sturges has also helped me become a better person by keeping me accountable. Ms. Sturges continues to help and assist me in attempted contempt cases and motion filings. The difference about Ms. Sturges is, she puts herself into the center of your families challenges and becomes apart of your family.
Lyn helped me a lot with my recent divorce and I am very happy with the result. She was recommended with a very good friend of mine and I’m glad I did the right decision to work with Lyn. Thank you Ms. Lyn.
For my fee, Lynn simply filed the correct documents required to get things started. From that point on there was 0 communication, impossible to get through via the phone accept to her secretary. Called daily and left multiple messages, but nothing.. I basically saw her two times I believe, to give her my money, tell her about my case and then as mentioned she did the paperwork and filed it with the courts. Between then and the day of my case, NO communication whatsoever. I had no idea what to expect going into court and felt very unprepared. Even after my case was settled, it took over a month of constant phone calls and leaving many messages to have her complete the necessary final paperwork. She only called me back after I told her I would leave a bad review. I have since been back to court two times related to this same case, but simply used what I learned on my own and won both times by myself. I did not even consider calling her to represent me again. This was several years ago when she represented me. I am writing this review now because she still does the exact same thing! I have been calling her office and leaving messages for about 2 weeks now as I need an original copy of something which was filed in her office l. So easy to search for it and or give me a simple phone call back right? Nope! Once again not a single returned call.. Funny though, I called and used a fake name several times on different occasions to see what would happen, guess what? She was available right away. Hmm, Very odd. Do yourself a favor, do your research, read these reviews, and search for a different lawyer... By the way, her response to this review is completely inaccurate. Per my review, the biggest complaint is her unavailability and lack of following up with the proper paperwork which is necessary in order to get the court orders applied and in effect! As for her comment about the court ordering exactly what we requested, I stated the fact that I went back to court twice with the same issue representing myself both times and the court ordered exactly what I requested. As far as her assistant, we played phone tag for about 2 weeks. I left many messages for Lynn to call me, to which there was never any response. It is true that her secretary left an email, but it was strictly an attempt to have mary remove this review. The only thing perplexing about this situation, is the fact that I had to make so many attempts after the court date just to have one simple letter written to resolve my case :(
Wow. Where to start. Oh yes, Lynn Sturges a Thief. After doing only the minimum amount of work on my sister's case and avoiding all attempts to contact her, Ms Sturges kept the full $2000 retainer that I paid for my sister. From what I can tell, she made a total of 3 phone calls, including the intake (which was free), and she read one document. Even the opposing counsel's lawyer was complaining that he couldn't reach Ms Sturges.
Since I am going through a divorce myself currently, I have an idea of what a good lawyer would do and how much it should cost. Ms. Sturges is neither a good lawyer nor a fair one. Never have I dealt with a lawyer who is as shady as this one is. I wish you the best if you are already in the position of having Ms. Sturges as your lawyer.
Ms. Sturges had no issues with sending confidential emails about my sister's case directly to my email, but as soon as I asked her to send me a general description of what work she had done on my sister's case, she refused and said that it was confidential.
Unfortunately, I have had the pleasure of using Lynn Sturges three times and I am a grateful to say that all three times were pleasant and successful. One was a divorce case and the other two times were for child custody. Ms. Struges was very professional and had a great attitude while working with me.
Ms. Sturges was never pushy but she made every effort to understand me, and the particulars of my situation. Ms. Sturges allowed me to express my belief and built her case around what I was expecting. Ms. Sturges was very professional and patient with me and allow me time to think through all my decisions and was there every step of the way through the process. Ms Sturges also did a great job at making me feel comfortable and if I was unsure about anything, she took the time to explain. I would highly recommend using Ms. Sturges for your family Lawyer, she is a great person and understands her profession very well.
