Founding Partner — Personal Injury & Wrongful Death

Robert J. Sterling

Robert Sterling founded Sterling & Associates in 1994 after spending a decade as a defense attorney for one of Colorado's largest insurance carriers. That experience gave him an insider's understanding of how insurers evaluate, negotiate, and try to minimize claims — knowledge he now uses exclusively on behalf of injured people.

Over his 30-year career, Robert has personally recovered more than $100 million for his clients. He has tried over 60 cases to verdict and is recognized as one of Colorado's premier trial attorneys for personal injury and wrongful death.

Robert is known for his meticulous case preparation and his willingness to take cases to trial when insurance companies refuse to offer fair compensation. His reputation in the courtroom is one of the reasons Sterling & Associates consistently achieves results that exceed initial offers.

Outside the office, Robert coaches youth baseball in the Denver area and serves on the board of Colorado Legal Services, providing pro bono representation to low-income Coloradans.
