    • I recommend Dawn Sydney.
    • I hired Dawn 1-6 months ago.
    • Dawn handled my Family matter.
    • I have previously worked with 1-2 lawyers.

    I worked with her through an administrative process that led to the courts. She was always very clear about the need to think through the cost/benefit analysis of each step. Although she often told me things I did not want to hear, in the end I needed to hear them and always allowed me to make a more informed decision. I worked with another attorney for about 5 months before hiring Dawn. What I most appreciated about Dawn was her appreciation that family law was not just legal issues. She refused to add fuel to what was already a burning fire of my case. In the end, she appreciated that I and my ex will remain co-parents for many years to come, and kept that in mind throughout the process. She was in the middle of transitioning firms during my case so it delayed the process a bit which was hard but in the end, I feel good about the process and result.

  2. I do not recommend this attorney. Very disappointed. Forgets what she said she would do. Operates on triage vs planning ahead

    • I do not recommend Dawn Sydney.

    Stay away if you need a good family attorney for divorce. Unreliable and inexperienced.
    As with most attorneys, waste money and & cost me a huge loss of thousands of dollars.
    Do not trust. regardless of how well she sells herself.

  3. Good Attorney

    She's good but blunt. So, you know exactly where everything is at. Things worked out good for me.
