Ashley Lydia Mahserjian-Ortiz

Ashley was incredibly knowledgeable and supportive during a very tough time. She gave clear advice and instructions and handled the process completely, and worked to provide me with options based on my financial situations to keep the bill as low as possible. I highly recommend Ashley to anyone going... through a divorce or separation.

Ashley was my attorney throughout my divorce process. She was always there to answer a question, explain my options, and at times slowly review everything again. I have recommended her to several friends and family, as I felt I could trust her to always have my best interest at heart. As I stated..., communication and access was key- unlike other attorneys I’ve heard of, she was always available with a call, email, or in person. During such an anxious and trying time of life, it was beyond comforting to have her in my corner.

I am a father of four daughters ages 9-15. I was served separation papers without warning and my life turned upside down. To complicate matters my now ex-wife filed criminal charges. These charges were absurd, but in NY, criminal charges means that you leave your home, lose your children, and all yo...ur rights. Ashley worked with me to navigate through family court, and assisted with the criminal case. She worked with my criminal lawyer to achieve the best possible outcome without going to trial. Truly and undoubtedly, she stepped up at every moment to defend me, help my kids, and keep us together as a family. We went to Supreme Court once the tides changed, as a last ditch effort by my ex. Ashley continued to excel. With a new judge, Ashley still portrayed the situation in such a light that the facts and circumstances were almost seamless and the judge sent us to conference. In conference it was one on one, face to face with my ex and her lawyer. Every detail was considered by Ashley before these conferences. She explained what to expect, discussed each step, and had me prepared for what was coming. Ashley set forth a path that in the end gave me my kids over 90% of the time. I am now officially divorced. I have my kids. I imagine that my case was as bad as they come. I hope for whoever reads this, that your situation is no where near this severe. Regardless, I trusted myself and my family to Ashley’s care. I would do so again in a seconds notice. She was professional every step of the way. Carried herself with poise, and was steadfast throughout. More importantly to me than her obvious abilities as a lawyer, she was compassionate. I felt that she absolutely had my best interests in mind. She saved my family. I am recommending Ashley to absolutely provide the best service available. You will not be disappointed.
