If you want the best lawyer you need to hire the best!  I highly recommend Kristyl Treadaway! She is extremely knowledgeable about the laws regarding divorce and custody. She is honest and does not make any false promises. More importantly, she takes the time to explain everything. I had a previous lawyer and I needed someone who specialized in family law. As soon as I met her, I could see her passion for my case and changed lawyers that minute. Her professional yet compassionate demeanor definitely helped to make this a little easier. While this has been a difficult process, she made sure to guide me through every step, answered all my questions including those I didn’t know I had, and fought for me and my kids. I could not have gotten through this without her. Her staff is professional and quick to respond to emails and calls. If anyone is in need of a family law attorney, you need to hire Kristyl!

Kristyl took me on as a client when other attorneys said my case was not winnable. She has gone above and beyond my expectations and has demonstrated a real grit to win for me as though I was family. I’ve worked with other attorneys before but never someone that listened with real patience and a genuine empathy for what I have gone through and am still experiencing. Long story short...she gets the job done...period! I would recommend her to anyone that to get a good result. Thank you Kristyl!

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 immediately, 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.

Mrs. Treadaway has handled 3 different cases with me... I have 6 kids by 3 different woman and one was a divorce... My lawyer has done more then I can ever ask of her I never had to call her cause she handles her business on her end very well... all my cases even the divorce I was very satisfied... I have joint custody with 50/50 with all my kids and that's what I wanted.... all I can say is Im very blessed to have found her in my life to take own my cases and would recommend her to anyone that need a good family lawyer....

I don’t think I could have gotten through the divorce process without Kristyl! Going through separation and divorce with two small children is hard enough, but when you are faced with the legal process you must find someone that is well versed and reputable. From the moment I stepped into her office, I knew I was in good hands. Her wealth of knowledge, deep compassion and promptness are all qualities I could depend on. She made the process as seamless and was a pleasure to work with. While I hope to not have another divorce in the future, I do plan to utilize her services for my future legal needs. Kristyl is the very best!

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 team 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.

I’ve discussed my case with acquaintances and compared their situations with mine and I’m glad I chose her she’s really fighting for my little girls best interest I will always recommend Krystal to anyone in need of a family lawyer

My divorce and custody situation was very unique to say the least. Without getting into to many details my son has special needs and him and his mother live many states away from Louisiana. Kristyl handled my situation with the care and great detail that was needed. I have nothing but good things to say about Kristyl and would be happy to refer her to anyone going through a divorce or a child custody situation.

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 couple 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.
