What Our Clients Say

Our Testimonials

Perfect and very professional service provided by Stenberg Law. They helped me in every step to register and get my LLC started. They could guide me through the whole process and with all business and corporate related questions. Very pleased and highly recommended.

Ilona K.

We feel very fortunate to have selected Stenberg Law Firm to represent us. We were in the process of a business acquisition, and were having difficult times with the landlord. It seemed the deal was dead on water.

After retaining Stenberg Law Firm, Mr. Carl Stenberg presented a course of actions. He then proceeded to contact the leasing company and the landlord of our situation. Not only he was able to resume the process, he helped us finalize the acquisition. He was very professional, attentive, and thorough; and diplomatic with the other side. Throughout the process, he reviewed the contract and lease re-assignment, handled negotiations and all communications on our behalf. Could have asked more from a business attorney. We have since then retained his services with our other business as well.

Needed a lawyer to review documents for a real estate transaction. Not only was Carl thorough in reviewing the documents but gave recommendations that he saw could protect me as buyer. I reached out needing a quick turn around and Carl was able to still give me white glove service on short notice. It truly felt the law firm had my best interests in mind and was knowledgable and responsive throughout the process.

Highly recommend Stenberg Law, PLLC and look forward to engaging them for future legal needs.

Carl is everything you need in a lawyer. He listens, is knowledgeable, and most importantly gets the job done. He helped my mom become an American citizen and did everything he promised. We are very happy with our overall experience.

Carl Stenberg was an excellent partner and trusted advisor when I set up both an LLC and a Joint Venture for my property business in Texas. He helped me optimize the corporate structure from a legal and tax perspective, with a very good understanding of the business and my interests. I can definitely recommend him to anyone seeking legal advise or setting up a business!

Carl was just what I needed to get my business started. Before coming into this whole process, I was truly lost and overwhelmed with the thought of forming my own company and other legal matters. After consulting with Carl, he gave me great advice on how to optimize my entity structure for good asset protection. He was super patient with me and answered all my questions. His response time to my requests were also really fast. This made the whole experience really pleasant and efficient. Looking forward to partnering with Carl for any future legal matters.
