THE BEST

Ashley is – by far – the BEST divorce attorney, and if she can take on your case, you are VERY fortunate. Ashley is brilliant, knows the law extremely well and is worth every penny. I was amazed when there were times she would actually argue against herself (and me!) just to make sure my case was air...tight, and that she was positioning me the strongest way possible. Not only is she phenomenal and a badass for being able to outmaneuver the most narcissistic, dirtiest and unethical adversaries, but she has the biggest heart. In all sincerity, Ashley truly wanted my children to be safe and well, and stopped at nothing until this was secured. I can't say enough about how talented and wonderful she is, or how lucky I am to have had her represent me.

Child Custody

I am so happy I decided to retain Ashley for my child custody case. Not only was she extremely helpful and knowledgeable, but she did not let the other parties walk all over me. She had myself and my child in her corner the whole time and didn't back down in the most professional way. HIGHLY recomm...ended! She gets it done!

Amazing, kind and knowledgable attorney- could not recommend more!

I have been working with Ashley for the past two years. She initially helped me (+my young child) safely leave a marriage where I felt unsafe and provided guidance (along with a criminal attorney) on obtaining a final restraining order. She subsequently has helped me through a lengthly, emotional and... exhaustingly complicated divorce with a difficult ex. She not only has provided solid and strategic legal advice, but has truly been a friend and confidant through some of my roughest days in this process. Ashley is incredibly accessible and responds quickly whenever I reach out. I know and trust her to have my best interests in mind, even when my own emotions make it hard to see a path forward. I joke that if she wasn't a lawyer, she would make a great therapist because she is that patient and kind. Always able to calm me down by sticking to the facts and developing a plan that I feel comfortable with. I am incredibly grateful to have her legal expertise and am proud to say that I am finally divorced with the best outcome I could have expected. I know I will continue to work with her as my custody situation evolves and I have no doubt she will continue to show up and advocate for me and my child's best interests. I truly cannot say enough good things about Ashley.

Fights for What’s Right

I don’t know how I would have gotten through my divorce without Ashley. From the moment I stepped in her office for my consultation, she was kind, direct, and supportive. Throughout the process, she was a cheerleader when I needed it, fought for me and my kids, and was always honest with me. I always... felt protected and knew she had my best interests at heart.

Outstanding!!!

I spoke to a few divorce lawyers since my ex-husband and I separated. Ashley was the only lawyer that showed compassion. She was there for me every step of the way. Ashley went above and beyond my expectations. She responded quickly to my emails and helped me to consider all of my options. Ashley is ...a brilliant lawyer. She listened to my concerns and was willing to fight for me and my child's best interests. She was able to negotiate an agreement with my ex-husband's lawyer quickly. I am so happy I chose Ashley to represent me in my divorce case. I highly recommend Ashley and her firm!!!
