I had an excellent experience working with Kristen for my child custody case. From the beginning, she was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about my situation. She took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions, and kept me informed throughout the process. Her expertise and dedication made a difficult situation much easier to handle. Thanks to her and her teams hard work, I achieved a positive outcome for my family. I highly recommend Kristen to anyone in need of a compassionate and skilled custody lawyer!
Five Stars!
I can’t say enough good things about this entire firm! Kristen took on our case about 2 years ago. We set our sights on a goal, one that we thought was impossible. And in 2 years, she made our dream a reality!!! I would choose this firm over and over again. They all care, and they all treat their clients as family. Kristen is not just an attorney doing a job. She was our battle buddy and backbone for the last 2 years and we are forever grateful for her and her team!!!!
I can’t fully put into words how grateful I am for Kristen. She went above and beyond with my case. She outworked and outperformed the other lawyers at every turn. You get your money’s worth with her. I would recommend her to any and everyone.
I want to say thank you to the whole team at Stanley-Wallace Law they went above and beyond for me and my family and excited our expectations they have earned the respect and loyalty of me and my family they did everything we asked for and more in a very timely manner very high recommendation for anyone looking for a family lawyer we will definitely go to Stanley-Wallace for any future needs.
I came to her with what I felt was an impossible task. Kristen Stanley-Wallace and her team got me the help I needed for my special needs son. I will be forever grateful.
On June 11, 2021, my wife (Savannah) and I held our baby boy, Reece, for the first and the last time. We were heartbroken but faithful that our God would make a way for us to conceive a son or daughter. We were fortunate to have a friend who offered to be a gestational carrier for us. We were prepared for the ups and downs of having to go through the process of surrogacy but nothing prepared us for the legality of what was to come, not even our first lawyer. We were blessed to have found Kristen Stanley-Wallace and her team at just the right time and she made sure everything was a seamless process once we transitioned from our first lawyer to her team. Given the complexity of Louisiana Surrogate law,s we needed someone with an eye for detail and understanding of this specific category of Louisiana law. With her help we sit here, a year later, rocking our baby boy, Brooks, to sleep. We are so grateful for Kristen and her hardworking and dedicated team.
This brief review confirms Kristen-Stanley Wallace’s deep commitment to her clients in her family law practice. Mrs. Stanley-Wallace picked up the “ parts “ of our previous lawyer and followed “- through with the basics of our surrogacy process in an expedient, efficient, and professional manner. When our initial lawyer failed to complete our objectives ( birth certificate/name change ) in a timely manner ( 2yrs and no results ) we turned to Mrs. Kristen -Stanley Wallace who; in turn, completed these objectives within 3 months. We, the Fontenot’s wholeheartedly recommend Kristen-Stanley Wallace for your family lawyer needs.
I cannot say enough good things about Mrs. Stanley-Wallace. She is bold, brave, compassionate, and welcoming. As I tell her, she is quite literally, a life-saver. My custody case came out of nowhere and was UGLY. I felt very intimidated by all of it, the thick stacks of papers, the confusing language, and the opposing counsel’s reputation of being a “pitbull” attorney. From day one, Kristen and her all-female team made me feel comfortable sharing the truth about everything that was being used against me (the good, bad and the ugly… which really matters when your private life is being blasted in court). With her guidance, I felt strongly informed and prepared to speak up at each court date, and when I couldn’t, I felt complete trust in her representation knowing we had discussed everything thoroughly and she knew and supported where I stood.
I am very happy with how everything turned out, and I owe all my gratitude to Kristen for that. Even months after, she still helps when I need clarification or perspective on some custodial issue. Her replies are always impressively prompt for how busy she is, and genuine and heartfelt.
I have never in my life left any kind of review for anything, but I felt so compelled to do so after working with her and coming out a more confident parent than ever! Thank you, Kristen!
Attorneys are cold. The legal system is broken. Impartiality doesn’t favor the father in custody cases. These are a few of my preconceived ideas prior to meeting Kristen Stanley-Wallace and her wonderful staff. After years of operating under an outdated/unfavorable custody agreement and feeling stagnant in my personal growth as a father, I discovered KSW and her team by searching for legal help online. Her website provided detailed answers to outstanding questions via its “Blogs” section. I called to schedule an appointment and was met with such positive energy from Victoria (she has a way of providing a warm embrace that is needed in times of fear and uncertainty). From the first meeting with KSW, she listened. She became invested in my desire to simply be more present in my daughter’s life. I was transparent about my circumstance and my ultimate goals. For almost a calendar year, she stood by my side. I doubted myself, she reassured. I cried, she provided tissue. WE went through highs and lows – together. Victoria, Crystal, Trudy, Betsy, and Kristen are all deserving of the utmost respect and admiration in their fields. To say I recommend this team would truly be an understatement, so I will wrap up my review with the following: KSW and her team have helped me reach each of my goals and just in time for Father’s Day. I look forward to turning the page on a new chapter in my life, one with the newfound belief and notion that when you surround yourself with brilliant individuals who listen, guide, and operate in good faith and understanding, mountains can be moved, and love will always win.
Kristen and her staff were very professional and helpful. She made the process of completing a Will and other important documents understandable and stress-free.
With Kristen Stanley-Wallace law firm, I have SOLE custody, my ex has SUPERVISED visitations, and my daughter has MY Last Name!
With this team, I am always confident I will be led through the process with integrity while looking at what is really best for my daughter and my overall financial, mental, and monetary resources.
Thank you for being a crucial part of changing our trajectory in life!

I can’t say enough positive things about Kristen and her firm. Kristen is extremely organized, she shows up prepared and ready for battle! She will speak her mind (to you and the opposing party and that is what I respect most about her) and stick up for you to the bitter or sweet end!!! When choosing a lawyer there is always so many questions; will they nickel and dime you, do they truly have your best interest at hand, can I rely on them, etc. Kristen was exceptional in all aspects! To this day I can contact her and she is still prompt with her replies and truthful. I have recommended her to many friends and I’m sure they would say the same. She is worth every penny and someone I will continue to recommend when seeking legal advice.
Wow talk about an incredible group to work with! Everyone is extremely friendly and informative. I am very please with how quickly my case was handled. Thank you for everything!
I would recommend them to anyone. So helpful and kind. Not a money hungry business. They actually care about their clients and I loved that.
The team at Stanley-Wallace Law treats you like family. They are comforting while also being realistic and honest about the possibilities your case. They worked and fought hard for me in and out of court. They made a difficult process so much easier and my family is in a far more positive situation because of them. I highly recommend them.
My family came to Kristen and her team at a very difficult time. I can say that they gave us nothing but professional and competent representation throughout. When personal attention was needed, we got it. Thank you to Kristen, Amber, Tubbs and the entire team. You made a difference. 👏👏👏
If seeking guidance in the realm of family law I would highly recommend this law firm. Kristen is phenomenal because she brings a compassion along with intelligence to help you deal with what will probably be one of the more difficult times in your life. There is no doubt you may find yourself in a very tough position and Kristen will be open and honest on where you are and explain exactly what you need to do to get you where you want to be. The staff is second to none and they will work very hard for you. Be open and honest and trust this firm and they will help you in any way they can.
The entire staff is just so helpful & understanding. When I was stressed or didn’t know the process, they explained every detail to me. Kristin fought for me!!! Trudy was such a blessing. She will type out every message you call about and get back with you. She doesn’t just talk your call and forget about you. She will check every response on your behalf. Rebecca is just as helpful & very sweet & I thank you for all you did hun. They make you feel at home, like family. If I could give ten stars I would!!! If I forgot anyone, forgive me but I appreciate everyone of you so much!!
