Knowledgeable, Professional and No-Nonsense

I truly wish Ashley was the first attorney I called. If I had, I would have saved thousands of dollars and years of unnecessary turmoil. Ashley provided knowledgeable guidance, a no-nonsense direct approach, reassurance and support throughout my divorce. She is honest, professional, and the person...al attention I received from her went above and beyond. Ashley has restored my faith in the system.

Confident, Professional, Caring, Knowledgeable

I took advantage of the free initial consultation and met with Ashley with a long list of questions and concerns about my divorce. She answered all of my questions directly and honestly. She was very reassuring during a difficult time, empathetic yet professional and helped me stay me on task. I was ...always able to reach Ashley or would get a call back quickly. We worked together well via phone, email and mail. We did not have to go to court but we were ready to if necessary. I felt very confident with how Ashley prepared me and represented me with the opposing attorney during my Property Settlement Agreement and divorce process. I highly recommend Ashley.

The Best Decision

Ashley Eckert was referred to me by a mutual friend of ours and after the initial meeting I hired her as my lawyer for my divorce. It was the best decision I made. A divorce, whether it is mutual or not, is going to be an emotional, trying and exasperating experience. Ashley's professionalism and e...xpertise in the courts made the decisions and transitions go as smooth as possible. From custody, to marital assets to support, I never had any surprises. Ashley understood the law, knew what choices I could and couldn't make, and guided me through what I thought was an unpredictable process with grace and understanding. Her advice was invaluable and I am certain I would not have had the piece of mind or the positive legal outcome I have without her. Ashley's commitment to me as a client was evident in her attention to detail, her her ability to communicate the laws clearly and how prepared she was through every step of the process. It was a difficult time but I knew I had someone representing my best interests with their full attention. Every decision I made was informed, thoughtful and well balanced and it was all because of the guidance and advice I received from The law offices of Ashley Eckert. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking legal advice.

Great Attorney

From my personal experience, Mrs. Eckert is a wonderful lawyer. She is very knowledgeable, VERY trustworthy & she always kept me informed about the smallest to the largest detail during every matter.

A Blessing in a Dark Time

I never saw myself as someone who would ever get divorced. It was not a part of my family lineage, nor a part of my 'belief system'. So when, after almost 30 years of marriage I found myself looking for legal counsel for divorce, I came across Ashley Eckert via a simple web-search. And I'm so glad I ...did! At a time when my emotions were all over the board, I needed a someone to walk me through the legal process who would take the time to answer my questions, explain my options (along with all the pros and cons of each), and, most importantly- be someone who has integrity and ethics; someone I could trust. Ashley did all that. She helped me through what has thus far been the most difficult decision I have ever made. Her knowledge of the divorce code and her experience with the county process allowed me to focus on what I needed to, without all the extra worry of "am I handling this the right way?" I knew I could trust her to represent me, and I was not disappointed. I can (and will) recommend her to anyone in need of legal counsel. I'm sorry for anyone who has to go through a divorce ... but if you're reading this because you are in that situation, I can honestly say that Ashley is the best! She took a difficult situation and made it as painless as possible. -W.B.
