Amy has bad personal issues that come into her ability to practice laws. She has a bad temper and other lawyers don’t like working with her. Save the money and headache. Hire someone else.

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 way, 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 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.

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 is most important and gets things done. Don't hesitate to schedule a consultation with her.

I highly recommend Amy for Family Law. Her advise is spot on. She is easy to work with and has expertise in Family Law. Getting an appointment is easy and she is an excellent communicator

She will mess up what is important. Your children, your family, your future as such. Avoid this person as much as you can.

If you want to fail a difficult time and any chance of negotiations hire this attorney.

Two weeks ago I contacted Ms Salladay's office via email, as is suggested on her website. I received an automated email response indicating that my inquiry had been received, thanking me for contacting her AND that she would get back to me as soon as possible. As I said, it has been two weeks and no response.

Ms. Salladay could not handle our complicated case with lots of evidence; she did not appear up to the job required to devote her keen attention to the details of this case. She did not know her limitations and likely should have made a referral elsewhere to an attorney with more criminal legal background. After Ms. Salladay began discussions with the opposing attorney she appeared to side with the opponent which was puzzling and concerning. There can be no good faith recommendation for Ms. Salladay’s legal services to anyone except the person who wants to pay lots to lose their case. Little to no advocacy for client. Showed no zealous fight in the courtroom and was an impediment for client; Ms. Salladay failed to do her job of protecting and defending her client from lies, distractions, deception, avoidance of addressing criminal behavior, and victim blaming by the opposing party. Outcome of the case appeared to be determined based on the skills of the attorney. Ms. Salladay refused to use witnesses via zoom and failed to use any evidence to make an argument to win the case, which was shocking behavior from a professional; her stated reason for not offering compelling evidence on zoom was to avoid confusing the judge, yet the opposing attorney utilized these strategies and the judge did not appear to be confused. Prior to the court appearance, Ms. Salladay failed to enthusiastically work for client, instead spent lots of time (and money) encouraging client to agree to settlements that benefited opposing party. Wanted to mediate to end the case when it was not in the client’s best interest to negotiate with her safety or with a predator. Offered no safety net for client by fulfilling her ethical duty to advocate ruthlessly for client. Poor preparation for court. In the courtroom lacked litigation skills or the will to employ them. Displayed poor email communication skills, which resulted in an adversarial relationship that was detrimental to the client. No explanation why case was lost and no acknowledgement she failed client. Don’t waste your money or time on Ms. Salladay. You are likely to be very disappointed, discouraged, and distrustful of the process and justice being served, as well as any confidence in Ms. Salladay as an attorney. Keep looking for another attorney; buyer beware!

I cannot thank Amy Salladay enough for not having the legal experience she needs to go up against my attorney and most other attorneys in Columbia, MO. If you are looking to win, pray your spouse hires Ms. Salladay in your divorce. It is a guarantee loss for your ex.l!

Amy is an excellent attorney. She has high integrity, and great knowledge of the law and the other attorneys in the area. She is also very personable, yet she has a strong personality and is straight foward. I, like many others, tried other attorneys to get alimony/maintenance issues resolved. They lagged on my case, never kept me up to date, but still sent me a bill. Frustrating! When I hired Amy, she got right to work on my case, kept me informed and advised in an expediant fashion. During the time she was working on my case I became very ill and was hospitalized for six months. Amy was still there for me. Not only working on my case, but also helping my family through legal matters while I was indisposed. I really appreciate all Amy has done for me. So if you want an attorney that puts all the cards on the table, and is commited to you and your interests then Amy Salladay is the right choice!

Amy did a wonderful job negotiating a very difficult case with my ex. My ex has more money than you can shake a stick at, but that did not intimidate Amy at all. She was tough, no nonsense and achieved a fair and favorable outcome for my family. I have called on her to handle other family matters as well. She is my family attorney and I highly recommend that you look to do the same!
