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.

Strong Firm

I am writing to commend Ms. Sydney Ross on her exemplary handling of my recent OWI on a golf cart case in Allamakee County. Ms. Ross was kind, considerate, aggressive, and most of all knowledgeable about the application of law in all four of my charges. Sydney took the time to understand all facets... of my case. Her prompt replies to my inquiries assured me I was in capable and expert hands. She was able to access the discovery materials to determine the inaccuracy of the arresting officer’s assumptions. Those materials also included the blood alcohol level way below the legal limit, which was the explanation for the arrest. Her attention to details and ability to ask pertinent questions allowed her to attack the charges and get 3 of the 4 dropped from my file. Sydney’s team of professionals were also expert and well researched in their responses to me. McKayla quickly replied to my questions and if she was unsure, she deferred to Sydney for answers. I would recommend Ms. Sydney Ross to anyone who is struggling with an unjust arrest or charge. Thank you, Sydney! I will gladly put my trust in you again!
