REALLY BAD EXPERIENCE

If you have a complex case or children involved, I highly recommend to pass this lawyer by. Reason for bad expereince as follows: does not do well explaining legal proceedings, which lead to poor decision making, awful communication,does not return phone calls,and does not respond to emergant situ...ations.

Amazing Lawyer

I let my daughters father take her for the summer to New Orleans where he resides, I live in Illinois at the time we had no custody agreement and he refused to return my daughter and sued me for custody. I hired Kristyl Treadaway at Salley and Salley. She had never met me and worked with me for a cou...ple months via email and phone. Her support staff was incredibly helpful. Ms. Treadaway had the same passion as I did to get my daughter returned to me, she was very understanding about all the emotional distress involved in Custody cases and really had my back throughout the whole process. Sometimes it is hard to trust someone else with the fate of your child in these situations but she made it easy and I would forever trust her and Salley and Salley to help me in any other situation involving my child in Louisiana.

Very Knowledgeable and Trustworthy Attorney

Kristyl came highly recommended by a friend of mine. I had a consultation with her and immediately hired her to take my case. I had a very challenging divorce that included a custody battle. Kristyl was very knowledgeable and kept me informed every step of the way. With her guidance and advice, ...I was able to get through my divorce and I believe that I am now in a much better place. I would not have been able to do this without her being by my side. I have recommended Kristyl to all my friends and family in need of a divorce attorney.

Great Attorney!

Kristyl handled my divorce/custody matter. I always felt informed regarding every aspect of my case. I believe that I got everything that I wanted because she fought for me.

Kristyl Treadaway, the only choice in my book!

I was recommended to Kristyl by a very dear friend of mine who had such a fantastic experience I had to give her a chance! My mother had gone through a divorce prior to mine with a different lawyer from a different firm and had such a poor experience I was scarred but Kristyl immediately put my mind ...at ease from the moment I walked into her office. I had a very challenging divorce which included children and a husband that worked out of the country, which Kristyl happily took on and dove in head first. She was by my side the entire time, walking and talking me through each step as divorce is a very emotional process with plenty of legal lingo that I didn't always understand. She kept her cool at every turn, was very knowledgeable and didn't hesitate to stick up for me and what I deserved and was honest if she thought I was being unreasonable. I always liked to know what was going to happen and what would be the next step. Kristyl always kept me informed on what to expect and what was going to happen; including but not limited to the processes of paperwork and court dates. She was respectful, considerate and empathized with how difficult divorce is, whenever I would get upset or angry she was always there to give it to me straight and be level headed when I couldn't. My mother even commented that she wished Kristyl would have been available when she got a divorce! I know that if a problem ever arises I can call Kristyl and she will not hesitate to go to battle for me.
