Recognized in Ones to Watch since 2026
Paul Martinez
William Sterling provided solid legal advice for a conditional use permit application for my small business in San Jose. His background in Land Use and Zoning Law, and his recognition by Best Lawyers, was evident in his understanding of local ordinances. However, responses to emails were sometimes delayed by several days, which added stress during tight municipal deadlines. The outcome was satisfactory, but the process felt less collaborative than expected. He is clearly knowledgeable, but managing client expectations on communication would elevate his service.
