Sydney is extrememly professional and highly competent. Both the judges and opposing counsel in this town know and respect her. She works in an area of the law that is extremely difficult, and clients can often get emotionally upset and irrational and difficult to counsel. I have know Sydney for years and would not hesitate to refer friends or family to her should they need a good family law attorney in northern Oregon.

Abridgement of AVVO review: Mom asked for docs from Brewster’s office 1/16, they never arrived, Mom and I placed calls asking about them. Today, 2/19, docs still not arrived, Mom upset about call to Sydney who insists docs were mailed. Mom told her they hadn’t arrived and Sydney told her, “That’s not my problem”. This is completely unacceptable. I called and was treated in the same sarcastic, disrespectful way. I’ll pick them up myself on 3/2, I live in Salem. We’ll see if they’re ready. When my mom is treated this way it makes me mad enough to leave a review. Contacts with agency for which Brewster served as board member and legal counsel say she was “out-to-lunch and at times undependable”, had to be prodded to complete work when needed and was often “unreliable”. She was rude because she forgot to mail the docs and is piqued at being reminded. I would not recommend Brewster to anyone. With regard to her client services skills alone she seems to be more of a lawyer than an attorney.

Thoroughly professional in a hard field of law. Clients are angry and blame the lawyer for problems she didn't create, and folks won't listen to reason much of the time. Simply hiring a good lawyer does not ensure that you get your way in the end. Sydney is a very good lawyer, but she heeds to be a realist, and can't change the facts of the case. The facts are 90% of what you need to win in court. While she is a great advocate for her clients, she can't un-ring a lot of bells. Sydney is honest as the day is long, competent, and recognized as such by her peers and the judges.

Worst legal experience I have ever had. Emails were never returned in a timely matter and when they were documents were produced with other peoples names and information. Attempted to resolve the issue with Sydney and was put down as well as charged more for her mistakes. Over priced and still never got correct documents. Filled with what I was told was accurate and ready to file and still spent an hour at the courthouse filling out paperwork. Would not recommend AT ALL!!!
