I am creative in my problem solving and non-judgmental. I don't try to impose my values.

We always take the long view, knowing that the results we achieve for our clients will have lasting impact on their lives. And we really care about the people we serve.

Attorney Sylvia Woods

At the law office of Sylvia Woods in Oakland City Center, she and her associate attorney, Terry S. Wheeler, along with the remaining team, provide quality legal support and counsel to families throughout the Bay Area. Since opening our practice in 1992, we have earned a reputation for being consistently thorough, honest, understanding, and committed to our clients. We think mediation is often preferable to litigation in family law conflicts, and we welcome high-conflict and multi-ethnic custody cases.


Among her professional and community affiliations, attorney Sylvia Woods is a member of the Alameda County Family Law Association, Alameda County Bar Association, and the Women Lawyers of Alameda County.


If you are going through a divorce or have custody issues and need an experienced California family law attorney who is a problem solver, energetic, forward thinking, and will work tirelessly to achieve the results that are best for you and your loved ones, please call or e-mail us today and tell us about your situation.
