Ashley is top-notch

I worked with Ashley Valillo-Manzi at Ruvolo Law Group for my divorce. She was extremely professional, sharp, thorough, patient, and diligent throughout the process. I was very nervous when it came to selecting a lawyer and I must have spoken with at least half a dozen firms. Ashley and Ruvolo were... the only firm where I felt they got me instantly. I personally wanted a low-drama divorce where I could simply obtain guidance and legal advice, and make sure everything was filed correctly. Divorce is overwhelming enough without having to also navigate the court system. I wanted to be able to focus on the messiness of moving, dividing belongings, and saying goodbye without also having to focus on figuring out what I should ask for and how and when and where to file all the piles of paperwork. Ashley understood this perfectly. She never rushed me or pushed me, and she worked hard to make sure I felt heard and that I understood what was going on at each stage of the journey. I greatly appreciated that Ashley helped me weigh the cost/benefit to each decision--I really felt that her number one interest at each stage was to communicate to me clearly what my options were. I felt I could trust her completely. I would recommend this firm, and Ashley to anyone just beginning the scary and overwhelming divorce process.

Highly Recommend

I hired Ashley to represent me in my divorce case. She was always upfront and very strong. She gives you that confidence to not back down for what you deserve and to be confident in how she is guiding you in the process. She understands the law and will defend her clients to get what they are righ...tfully entitled to. I highly recommend her.

Savvy and professional

Ashley quickly comprehended the details of my case. She exhibited an in-depth understanding of the law and effectively presented my case in court. I found her to be personable and professional and would highly recommend her.

Going to Ashley was the best move I made!

All specifics aside, when I was going through my divorce, I was ready to make some questionable decisions (ex- lack of action, no legal council, etc...) to just have the entire situation done and over with. One 30+ minute consultation with Ashley pointed out SO MANY things I hadn't even thought of wh...ich could have come around to haunt me in the long run. Hiring Ashley to represent me was the best move I made hands down! She was very straight forward, laid out all my options & considerations, but ultimately left it up to me to make the final decisions on how I wanted to proceed. Going through a divorce is no fun, so having it be as painless as possible was a huge plus, and that was the case thanks to Ashley!
