We are among a small group of Louisiana law firms that offer attorneys who are Board-Certified Family Law Specialists, certified by the Louisiana Board of Legal Specialization. This certification is granted to a select number of attorneys who demonstrate a commitment to ethics, excellence and continued legal education. Sandra Salley has been a Board-Certified Family Law Specialist since January, 2000. Laurel Salley became a Board-Certified Family Law Specialist in January, 2004.
Individually, Sandra Salley and Laurel Salley have been recognized by Super Lawyers, as a Top Attorney in Louisiana. This honor includes only the top five percent of attorneys in Louisiana.
Sandra Salley has had several cases reported to the Louisiana Southern Second Reporter and are now used as case law references. For example, the Doran case is referenced in cases where the definition of reconciliation requires clarification, and the Bible case has been used when determining if a default judgment is proper.
Just two years out of law school, Laurel Salley took a case all the way to the Louisiana Supreme Court and won. The ruling in this case earned due process rights for clients in cases involving orders of protection. Today, that case is taught to family law attorneys throughout Louisiana.
We have devoted our careers to helping families. We can help yours too.
