Sidney the Attorney represents individuals, corporations, and governments in federal appeals in complex commercial litigation.  She has practiced law, primarily in the Fifth Federal Circuit for decades.  She has been lead counsel in more than 500 federal appeals—350 of them as an Assistant United States Attorney and Appellate Section Chief in the Western and Northern Districts of Texas.  She is a past president of the American Academy of Appellate Lawyers and the Bar Association of the Fifth Federal Circuit, and a member of the American Law Institute.  It was from her experience in several of her cases that she felt compelled to become:

Sidney the Author wrote LICENSED TO LIE: Exposing Corruption in the Department of Justice after seeing a core group of federal prosecutors break all the rules, make up crimes, hide evidence, and send innocent people to prison.  The book reads like a legal thriller, but it names the prosecutors who then rose to positions of great power and the judges who turned a blind eye to their abuses of unfettered power.  She continues to write articles on government misconduct and prosecutorial misconduct for The Daily Caller, the Observer, the Hill, Fox News, and other outlets.

Sidney the Speaker can be seen on BookTV from her appearance at the CATO Institute with Judge Alex Kozinski.  She speaks often at local and national events, for non-profits and business associations, at CPAC, TPUSA, and other political symposiums, and at colleges and universities.  Audiences describe her presentations as “riveting.”

Sidney the Media Figure is highly sought to comment on current legal issues and government investigations—especially the special investigation lead by Robert Mueller and his chief lieutenant Andrew Weissmann, who is a true villain in LICENSED TO LIE.  She frequently appears on Lou Dobbs Tonight, Shannon Bream’s show, Hannity, NewsMax TV, One America News, and countless radio shows.
