I contacted Justin when I was in need of an attorney and he was exactly what I needed. He not only gave me a fair and equitable retainer fee, he got the results I was looking for in less time than I had personally allocated for when I originally encountered the issue. I was not only satisfied but ecstatic, I would use him for all my issues from here on forward, should I have any.

I am so grateful for all of the hard work Justin Sturdivant put into my case. He represented me through two child custody trials, a TRO hearing, and a hearing with the Child Support Enforcement Agency. He was well prepared every time we went into court and effectively defended me in each case against four different lawyers hired by my children's father over the span of three years. Through it all Justin remained highly professional, fair, and focused on the facts in each of these cases. Especially when the other side attempted to use various tactics to discredit me as a mother, Justin always restated facts and followed up with evidence pertinent to the argument. Yes, I paid a retainer for each case. I also was aware of the fees that were charged for phone conferences. In order to efficiently use this time I made sure to prepare all of the information that was needed from me ahead of time. Our conversations were always productive which allowed him to be able to represent me as well as he did. In the end, I was awarded both sole legal and physical custody. My childrenʻs father, his wife, and I are now able to co-parent with our children's best interest as priority. Today, every time I send a payment, I send it with MUCH GRATITUDE. Because without the fair, honest, competent representation I received from Justin Sturdivant, I can only imagine how difficult things would've been for my children

My son and I recently went through the hardest challenges we have experienced. Mr Sturdivant made sure we got everything we asked for from the courts. Thanks to Mr. Sturdivant my son and I are reunited and safely at home. Mr Sturdivant is very skilled in the way he prepares himself and his clients and the way he executes in court. Mr. Sturdivant is also ver knowledgable in the Hawaiian family and child custody law, he even corrected the judge in the law a few times. It was a pleasure working with Mr. Sturdivant. My family and I we're lucky to trust him to see us out of a terrible situation. I absolutely recommend Mr. Sturdivant and his team to deliver excellent law advice and services to those who need it.

It has brought fairest results me Justin Sturdivant and I am very happy. It has said me, it costed what , but I must not pay more. It was honest always, even account corrected. I was jittery and much worry, but felt confident after I have seen him in court. I worked with other lawyer in his office also and he was good too. I have told my friend to come here too and received great also concerning alimony. I needed assistance at divorce, I did not want, but Mr. Sturdivant has helped me, and now my family is whole again!

Justin is upfront, honest and no nonsense. He consulted with me on an issue I was hoping to resolve. He gave great advice, was responsive and his staff were so helpful! Unfortunately, my previous attorney got in the way and caused so many problems that I was unable to move forward with Justin. I would hire him in a heartbeat! I was referred by another large firm and honestly, I would just go straight to Justin any time!

I went thru an extremely painful divorce. One I never saw coming, and one I never wanted to happen. Justin was there to guide me and advise me when needed. Always available to see me, or talk on the phone when I had questions. Sad as the situation was, Justin seemed to feel what I was going thru and did a great job of being a friend as well as attorney. His fee was very fair, and I would highly recommend him to anyone dealing with these issues.

Justin Sturdivant met with me personally and took the time to answer my questions. I felt like he was straight with me, both good and bad, unlike other lawyers I've met with. If I have to go forward with my divorce I'll be going with Mr. Sturdivant.

I've retained him through Avvo, and I regret so bad I wish I never did. I've paid my first retainer fee $3500 and most of it is gone for "phone conference".Because his colleague Eric Overton wanted to know about the case to build our relationship more than just a lawyer and a client which I didn't have a problem then. When my $3000 is gone for talking on the phone and there was no progress on the case, he accidentally emailed me saying that I want bunch of work but do not want to pay, because I wanted a payment plan. I feel very betrayed, hurtful, and confused. Do we not pay retainer fee for them to work or just to talk on the phone? I asked them to dismiss my case so I can end any affiliation with them and to move on to another attorney. It's a tragic to me, and I hope no one else have to go through what I had to.
