About

I am a lawyer specializing in grit and determination. My work to date has focused almost exclusively on the indigent and incarcerated youth. I recognize how opaque the legal system sometimes is, even to experienced practitioners, and am excited to help shine light into the system.DISCLAIMERJ.

From day one, Sterling Chillico and Cristina Vasquez, her assistant, have shown nothing but compassion, dedication, and professionalism. They have done everything in their power to help me with my case. They have truly put my mind at ease with my case, due to the very minimum amount of time I have outside of work. They are a very prompt and knowledgeable law firm, and have helped me stay on task with everything. I highly recommend them to anyone for all legal matters. A special thanks to Sterling Chillico and Cristina Vasquez, for all the work they have done, truly amazing.

I was very impressed with Sterling Chillico, James Danko and their staff’s performance. From the beginning, they were honest with me and advised me as to what I could expect with regard to my case. If I ever had any questions or problems someone was always there to provide answers to me. I found the attorneys at Danko Law, LLC and their staff to be efficient, knowledgeable, polite and very understanding. Almost immediately someone began working on my case. They have extensive knowledge and background in family law cases, immigration, criminal defense and real estate transactions. I would highly recommend Danko Law LLC to anyone in need of honest, hardworking, knowledgeable and most importantly dedicated representation.

In one of the most stressful times in my life I found Sterling Chillico and am so grateful for her. She knows what she's talking about and was able to help me understand what was going on. She helped me to focus and to keep the case focused on the best interest of my children. She was kind and empathetic when I needed her to be. She is incredibly intelligent and knowledgeable about the issues at hand. She is a powerful litigator and negotiator. She is very strategic and follows through on what she says she will do. She was responsive to my calls and on time to appointments. She is the gladiator you want fighting on your behalf, trust me! Thank you, Sterling, Thank you.

Divorce and all that follows is a traumatic and highly emotional affair. Chillico has helped my daughter tremendously with compassion and understanding while determining the facts and providing the needed guidance through this on-going situation. Yet, with her experience she’s been able to keep us grounded with realistic expiations.

Sterling has been and remains to be a very knowledgeable attorney for my legal issues. I have consulted with her on numerous occasions, and she has always given me direct legal advice. However, she goes further by giving me her personal advice and experiences before I make any decisions on actions to make. I feel that she represents me as if she were in my shoes and she is extremely passionate about getting my issues resolved. I highly recommend Sterling for any legal needs. She has a wide array of experience in all law topics. The best attorney in Charleston and reasonably priced (no one truly budgets to have to pay for additional costs such as legal representation)!!

Sterling goes above and beyond what's required to assist her clients. She treated me with upmost respect and compassion as I voiced my concerns about handling my mother's affairs as she aged. She laid out my legal options very clearly and gave me the confidence to act on my mother's behalf. Sterling is very knowledgeable and thorough with the way she prepares legal documents. She explained all the legal terms in a way I could understand them and she continues to support me by checking on my needs. I highly recommend her for all your legal concerns.

Miss Chillico has consulted with me on two different legal matters in the past, neither of which I was quickly pressured into taking action on. I was pleasantly surprised by her understanding of both matters and how personable she was for a lawyer. Our first interaction gave me great comfort in that she was incredibly knowledgeable on the subjects and but also humble enough to do the research needed in order to give me the most thorough, relevant and accurate information possible. Not only was she easy to get ahold of but also prompt in her responses. I haven't had many dealings with lawyers, but the ones I have encountered have all left me with a bitter taste in my mouth and a soreness in my behind. This woman gave me advice on not only what direction would be best for me to move forward in, but options otherwise, and even timelines on when I should get on top of things. I felt the most at ease leaving her office than I have anywhere else and I know I wasn't taken advantage of. That kind of peace-of-mind is immeasurable when you are in such a vulnerable position, needing to rely on strangers to help you out. I feel safe, relieved, and enlightened since I have met and dealt with Miss Chillico and, as unbelievable as it may seem, I look forward to her future assistance if I ever were to need it. If you need to deal with a lawyer, this one is your absolute best bet!!!!

In today's fast pace business world when I need legal advice, timing is critical, and Danko law provided the most knowledgeable service quickly so I could focus on my business with piece of mind that everything was handled! I will never go anywhere else for any of my legal needs!

I have sought legal advise for matters pertaining to my divorce and child support issues and Sterling Chillico at Danko Law llc has been knowledgeable, honest, and quick to respond. She has been there to answer all my questions and gave me confidence that we have a fighting chance. Peace of mind is very rare when going through legal troubles, Sterling delivers that and more! I highly recommend calling her for any legal matters you may have. I have her number on speed dial!

I have never in my adult life had such an amazing experience with an attorney. She made handling my case easier than I ever could have imagined, and she went above and beyond to help me in ways I never even considered. She took away my stress and eased my mind about my case which is saying more than you know. She was thorough, detail oriented, and handled everything extremely fast. I will definitely continue our professional relationship, i just hope that it's not for the same reasons :-)
