We've referred several of our real estate clients to John Sterbick for tax and IRS issues, and every single one has come back with great things to say. He's a true tax professional — knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely good at breaking down complicated tax situations so clients actually understand their options. Whether it's an IRS problem, back taxes, or general tax planning tied to a real estate transaction, he handles it with skill and care. We trust him with our clients because he gets results and treats people well along the way. Five stars, and we'll keep sending people his way.

John Sterbick has been our go-to tax professional whenever a client runs into a tax or IRS problem tied to a real estate deal. He's sharp, easy to reach, and takes the time to actually explain what's happening instead of burying you in jargon — which matters a lot when someone's stressed about the IRS. Every client I've sent his way has come away relieved and well taken care of. If you need a tax attorney who knows what he's doing and treats people right, John's the one to call. Highly recommend.

John went above and beyond for my family during an incredibly difficult time. From my first conversation with him, he took the time to listen to our situation, answer my questions, and genuinely try to understand whether he could help. He was incredibly generous with his time and continued to provide thoughtful guidance as we worked through our options. I had spoken with about a dozen attorneys for consultations, and many of those conversations felt rushed or transactional. John took the time to really listen to what my family was going through and treated me with genuine respect and compassion, even before knowing whether he would ultimately be able to take our case. John is incredibly knowledgeable, quick-thinking, thoughtful, and caring. He was willing to look at our situation from every angle and was honest about what he thought would actually be best for my family, even when that meant bankruptcy ultimately wasn't the best option for us. When he realized another path might be more helpful, he connected me with someone who could assist us with a mortgage loan. He didn't just give me a name and send me on my way, he personally reached out to that person and explained that my family needed help. That level of care and follow-through meant a great deal to me during an extremely stressful period. He truly went above and beyond to help my parents, and I am incredibly grateful for the time and guidance he provided. I also want to mention that my experience with his office was exceptional. His staff were welcoming, friendly, and genuinely seemed happy to be there. It was clear that they respected John and enjoyed working with him, which says a lot about the kind of person and employer he is. I cannot recommend John highly enough. Even though we ultimately did not end up filing for bankruptcy, I am very grateful that I found him. His willingness to go above and beyond, even when bankruptcy wasn't ultimately the right option for us, speaks volumes about his character and the way he approaches his work.

I am so glad I chose Sterbick and associates to help me with Filing my bankruptcy. I was very nervous and actually not happy with myself that this The direction I had to go, Filing bankruptcy at my age, But circumstances and life changes in poor choices, created an unrecoverable situation. The first time I went to John’s office, I met with him for just a few moments on an intake. He made me feel very comfortable, and even though he seems very stern and straight lace, he has a sense of humor and reminded me of such. Going through the process was easy. After the initial visit, I worked more closely with Roy, who is part of their team. He held my hand through the whole process emails back-and-forth, letting me know what was next. Once things were ready to go I met again with John. We had a good visit. We went through the hearing and filing together. Everything went very smoothly I would recommend their team and thank them all for their help and support through this process and never making me feel unworthy. Feeling great about the whole thing I couldn’t recommend any other team more than John’s He works with bankruptcy, IRS, And injury law and maybe more that I’m not quite aware of Please call them. Give them a chance if you’re looking for a great team of attorneys. Thank you, John Sterbick, and associates

FOR ACCIDENT CLAIMS : if you are interested in filing a case with Sterbick know the wild ride you’re in for! We spoke with Sterbick once. He was knowledgeable , personable and told us the process and what to expect. We loved him and what he stood for and we decided to pick this business. It’s now been over 3 years and I’m not any closer to closing my case than I was opening it and I haven’t spoke to Mr. Sterbick at all since even when I have requested to meet with him as I’ve been having ongoing issues with my case. The paralegal went an entire year without a follow up which in the time my case was not worked on at all. It takes a minimum of 16 phone calls, 8 messages left, 14 emails over the course of a few months to even try to communicate with the office and you will still not be contacted or provided any updates to your case. Since June 16th, I’ve sent my paralegal 8 different emails ( this was after my other emails I sent over 6 months were disregarded and ignored) and I still haven’t received any communication attempts by this office or my paralegal. This process has been so stressful, mentally taxing and extremely extremely unprofessional. We are so disappointed and can’t wait for this process to be over. ( Still ongoing with no end in site as we can not contact anyone in the office that can provide any new information).
