About The Attorney

Sid Childress, New Mexico Attorney

My office is in Santa Fe, but I practice law throughout the State of New Mexico. Some aspects of my law practice are a national practice where I must oversee matters for clients around the country, including in various federal courts.

I’m “a Longhorn” (University of Texas at Austin – class of 1990).  I finished law school at the University of Southern California in 1993.  From 1993 to 2005 I was a very busy sole practitioner in Austin, Texas.  I picked many juries during this time period in commercial, real estate, consumer law and personal injury cases. As Austin is a very wealthy community and I practiced law there during its “high-tech” boom of the late 90s and early 2000s.  I also handled many divorces involving the division of high net-worth marital estates, including businesses, stock-options and intellectual property.

I have practiced law in New Mexico since 2006.  I provide proactive lawyering to help people and their businesses solve problems.
