Readily available, expert advise

I was impressed and very satisfied with Ashley’s patient strategy that resulted in a favorable settlement. Ashley and her staff were readily available and provided expert advice. I certainly will use her law office in the future.

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.

Hard worker

Working with Ashley for the past several years legally guiding me through my divorce, I found her to be extremely knowledgeable, informative and efficient with her work. I would highly recommend her, and would not hesitate to call on her again should the need arise.

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.
