ABOUT SYKES McALLISTER

Why should you choose
Sykes McAllister?


When you work with Sykes McAllister, you can expect a different experience from other law firms. Our attorneys are skilled litigators and trial attorneys who will go to bat for our clients.

At our law firm, we are honest with you about the value, outlook and viability of your case. And since no two cases are the same, you can expect the bespoke, kid-glove treatment and attention from a real attorney (not a paralegal or law clerk) that you won’t get at a big law firm.
