Sydne French

I am a solo practitioner dedicated to the vigorous defense of individuals facing criminal charges, drunk driving charges, or probation/parole revocations. I am passionate about what I do and I never back down from a fight. I have earned a solid reputation for negotiating significantly reduced charges, penalties, and dismissals while aggressively defending my clients against the power and resources of the State.

I try to take a personal interest in every person who calls me for help. I do my best to make sure they do not feel like they are just a case number or just another "defendant." I make the time to really listen to their side of things, their perspectives, and their concerns. I do my best to stay in touch, and I welcome my clients to do the same. They know they can call me 24/7 and that I am there for them 100%."Sydne was very informative and made me feel at ease from the moment we first met. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who may find themselves in a similar situation as I." K.S. (former client)"Sydne was always available to answer every question I had throughout the entire process, but most importantly she worked not just for me, but with me. I feel like this was the difference between just being a client, and being her client." R.E. (former client)"Sydne's commitment to her clients, to the ideal of justice, and to the goal of zealous representation is unparalleled." Keith Findley, President, International Innocence Network; Co-Director, Wisconsin Innocence Project
