Professional at Best and will walk you through step by step and answer all of your questions.

Sydney was very professional she walk me through step by step on my case and always kept me informed on information and step throughout my case. And will stay in communication with you and the county or state district attorney. She is very thorough.she will take the time and read through all of your ...paperwork regarding your case and charges and let you know if things doesn’t seem right and don’t add up and will go above and beyond to make sure that u are well taken care.

OWI 2nd offense with high BAC brought down to reckless driving

I unfortunately was arrested on I80 for an OWI second offense and a .324 BAC. I gave Sydney a call the following morning and had a short meeting. She was very communicative and responsive to every question I had. She walked me through the entire process start to finish and outlined every possible... scenario. Sydney made sure to exhaust every option we had to get the best result for me. We ended up getting a plea deal with the prosecutor for a simple reckless driving. I would recommend Sydney to anyone who finds themself in the unfortunate position of an OWI charge. I’m keeping her number on file with the hope that I never have to call her again! If you ever find yourself in that position for goodness sake shut your mouth and give her a call. 11/10! Thank you Sydney!!
