About Sterling & Associates Law Firm
Memphis attorneys committed to skilled advocacy and exceptional client service.
Our Practice
Sterling & Associates Law Firm was established to provide Memphis individuals and businesses with the quality of legal representation that had historically been available only to larger companies. From the beginning, our model has been straightforward: hire excellent attorneys, limit the size of the practice, and give every client the attention their matter deserves.
We handle matters across personal injury, family law, criminal defense, business law, estate planning, and real estate. While our practice is broad, our commitment is consistent: thorough preparation, honest counsel, and vigorous advocacy.
Our attorneys have appeared in courts throughout the Memphis metropolitan area and the greater Tennessee court system. We know the judges, we know the procedures, and we know how to position our clients for the best possible outcome.

Honest Counsel
We tell clients what they need to hear — not what they want to hear. Clear, candid advice leads to better decisions and better outcomes.
Thorough Preparation
Winning legal matters begins long before the courtroom. Our attorneys invest substantial time in research, strategy, and anticipating opposing arguments.
Personal Attention
Every client works directly with an attorney — not primarily with paralegals or assistants. You deserve to know who is handling your matter.
Community
We are Memphis attorneys. We live and work in this community and understand its courts, its culture, and the people who call it home.
