Sydney Upright is an Associate Attorney at King Law offices. She works in the firm’s Gaston County office in Gastonia, NC. Sydney’s primary area of practice is family law.

Sydney is originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She obtained her undergraduate degree from West Virginia University, graduating summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts in Criminology. For her law school education, Sydney earned a Juris Doctorate degree from Pennsylvania State University, with concentrations in (1) Families, Children, and the Law; (2) Advocacy and Litigation; and (3) Constitutional Law and Civil Rights. During her time at Penn State, Sydney participated in the law school’s family law clinic where she represented residents of Centre County, PA in domestic disputes and other family law matters. It was during her time with the family law clinic that she discovered her passion for helping families and children, and she remains committed to providing excellent representation for clients in need of these services.

Outside of work, Sydney can be found exploring her new home state of North Carolina, whether it be hiking with friends in Kings Mountain, horseback riding in Asheville, or trying new restaurants in Charlotte. Her favorite activity, however, is simply relaxing at home with a good book and cuddling with her two cats, Tillie and Rosie.
