Look no further and hire Amy

Amy is top notch when it comes to divorces and child custody cases. She did a fantastic job for me and my family!

Amy Salladay is a great divorce attorney.

Amy Salladay is a really good attorney. She is confident and it shows whether it’s in a meeting or in court. Amy knows the law and gets to the point; she will be honest with you and let you know where you stand. She has exceptional writing skills that stood out as superior to my ex-wife’s attorney. S...he was also more prepared in court and it showed. My divorce was difficult as my ex had a bad substance abuse problem and wasn’t reasonable. I am very glad I hired Amy to get through this difficult time.

Amy is highly recommended

Amy Salladay has been a fantastic attorney to work with. In a maintenance modification case, Amy is not only highly knowledgeable, but she demonstrated great creativity in her approach to my case. All of my questions were always answered with great clarity. She kept me informed every step of the w...ay, which gave me great peace of mind. Amy’s courtroom demeanor and presence are top-notch and speak volumes in a trial setting. She thoroughly reviewed all of the evidence in my case. She prepared an exceptional strategy that ultimately tipped the scale in my favor for the final court judgment, which exceeded my expectations of no longer paying spousal maintenance. I highly recommend Amy Salladay and her team at Columbia Family Law Group. Thank you so much for everything you have done - Jason and Carrie

Amy came highly recommended by a close friend

Amy is a honest, confident and very knowledgeable attorney. She is very professional. She always kept up-to-date on my case. She returned every phone call and every email. Amy also has an amazing staff. I highly recommend her.

The Best

Our only regret after 17 years of crumby attorneys, is that we didn't find Amy sooner. Finally, for the first time in 17 years of being drug through the mud, Amy did us justice. She is very prompt at responding to emails and quick to take action on what needs to be done. She gets right down to what i...s most important and gets things done. Don't hesitate to schedule a consultation with her.
