Sydney S. Stuart

Many, many thanks for Sydney Stuart's professional and caring legal advice. I needed to explore my options as I had many complicated issues surrounding my potential divorce and custody issues. She listened, offered legal info as well as info about Austin local practices. I have put things on hold ...for now but will use Ms. Stuart should I decide to pursue legal action.

I walked into Sydney Stuart's office very young, naive, and scared. I was going through an extremely difficult family situation. My son’s custody was on the table! His coward father who had left me while pregnant for some woman he met online was fighting to keep our son. Considering he had not se...en his son for over a year, because his young girlfriend did not allow him, it was ridiculous he now wanted full custody of his son. Never in my entire life, did I ever think I would be in a situation like this. Like me, my son’s father is a professional. We should be able to resolve differences by communicating and compromising. At last, this was not the case. My ex didn't even speak to me and simply sent his lawyer. My son’s father has the resources to get what he wants. He typically does. My ex already had an attorney on his side and his lawyer was calling me. His attorney was using legal terms, speaking very fast, and definitely making every attempt to intimidate me into signing numerous documents he had put together. Like most people, I had a great deal of anxiety about recruiting legal assistance to resolve family issues. At that time, I was in a very vulnerable situation and if I didn’t get help I would be taken advantage of. This was definitely a time in my life full of anxiety, worry, and I did not want to lose my son to someone who didn’t have any relationship with him for most of my son’s life. I looked for attorneys in Austin. I found Sydney Stuarts name, and I called her office. Without an appointment, I was immediately received in her office. I even spoke to the attorney with regards to my situation within minutes! I was amazed at how approachable Sydney Stuart was. Sydney Stuart took notes, listened to my case, and provided much needed support, information, and reassurance to a very young, bullied individual. Sydney Stuart took my case! Immediately she contacted the attorney of the other party! This marks the beginning of what would have been a much more intimidating, full of anxiety situation. Sydney Stuart was by my side every step of the way! In fact, Sydney Stuart worked in my case going back and forth with the other attorney late in the evening and nights. Hiring Sydney was the best thing I ever did to resolve my family situation. Her can do attitude and going “above and beyond,” for me was what settled my family issues. Sydney explained the law and the various options. She negotiated terms with the other party. She explained and acted as a mediator. She was professional, calm, patient, and eloquent. I must say, she did not once backed down in fighting for me for my rights and what was better for my son. Sydney did take time to converse with me about what was best for my son. At the time, I was bitter with my ex and had an urge to, “get back at him.” Sydney Stuart took the time to speak to me and visited with me about what was best for the child sometimes conveying things to me that I did not want to hear. To this day, I thank her for this. I was able to obtain the best possible scenario for what was best for my son. As difficult as it was for both of us to communicate and compromise, we managed to do what was best for our son. This thanks to the hard work, professionalism, and patience of Sydney Stuart! Till this day, my son’s father does have a relationship with our son and sees his son routinely. Since, everything is in writing there is little for us to quarrel about. We simply follow written orders of what we compromised and agreed of what is best for the child. Sydney is very trustworthy, responsive, knowledgeable, and kept me informed of my case every step of the way. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND SYDNEY STUART!
