AWFUL

Lost the case after unnecessarily dragging it out. Deceitful with billing. Continued to charge for frivolous matters. Choose anyone else to represent you or represent yourself. I would have been better off not getting Kristyl involved in my case. Extremely rude and arrogant. I trusted the reviews fr...om what I now know are her friends and family. I should have done more research. I recommend everyone read ALL the reviews.

Honest and Honorable

We were stuck in a custody/visitation battle for several years. After trying 4 different attorneys and wasting over $50,000 on them without once seeing a court date, we ready almost defeated. A client of Kristyl's recommended her. We gave it one last shot and called her. She called us back immediatel...y, gave us the truth whether it helped or hurt our case. She never promised beyond what was realistic. In a very short period of time, Kristyl had secured a favorable consent judgement, and personally walked the process through from beginning to end. She is rare in the civil court system because she is honest, relentless and honors her word. There is no quit in this fighter! She fought for our family and we remain grateful. Our family highly recommends Kristyl Treadaway.

Intrafamily/contested adoption

We hired Kristyl for an intrafamily adoption that was being contested. Kristyl was extremely knowledgeable and professional, yet, very personable. Her and her office were quick to respond anytime we reached out, and the online application she uses once she is hired is amazing! It allows her and her t...eam to easily keep you up to date on every step in the process, stores all paper work, and makes communication a breeze! Her passion for our case made me know she truly cares about what happened to my child and knowing this put me at such ease. Because of her hard work and passion we were successful with having our adoption granted!! We are so thankful and appreciative for all she did for our family!! We highly recommend Kristyl Treadaway for any family law services needed.

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.

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.
