If you want an attorney who will fight tooth and nail for you, hire Ashley!

I hired Ashley to represent me after several consultations with other Family Law attorneys. She understood my concerns and what my end goal was. She will listen to you and tell you what to realistically expect. Did I always like hearing it, of course not but she tells you the truth and will not ju...st keep taking money when she knows what you can and cannot expect. She’s brutally honest, empathetic and available. She keeps you informed every step of the way. No one EVER will get everything they want in a divorce but she will fight for you every step of the way. Thank you Ashley!

Ashley Smith, Top Notch, One Of The Best!

I can't begin to put into words how lucky I feel to have been represented by Ashley Smith in my divorce and custody case. Ashley cares about her clients and during what was easily the scariest and most difficult time in my life, I was able to focus on what mattered, protecting my 7 yr old daughter, m...yself, work, and keeping a straight head knowing I had Ashley on my side to quickly navigate and provide outstanding advise during a chaotic time. She believed in me and was always available and immediately got back to me the numerous times I had to contact her. I was prepared most importantly for the 2 times we had to go in front of a judge and was calm on the stand because I listened to Ashley's advise. Unfortunately my case involved addiction and child endangerment. When going through something like this, you almost spend as much time contacting your lawyer as you do speaking to friends and family. Trust me when I say Ashley is the one you want fighting for you. These things are long and drawn out and I could not imagine confiding in and being represented by anyone else. Ashley is easy to speak to and highly respected among her peers and all in her industry and that was obvious to me. Ashley simply gets it done, quickly and professionally and is there for you to make sense of all the curveballs and things that can occur in a case like mine. I am forever grateful for what Ashley did for me and my family and I am stronger than ever after going through what I have because of an amazing support system I had and have, but knowing the leader of this was Ashley whether she knows it or not. Thank you Ashley!

Big Mistake

If you call Speaks Law Firm saying you are needing a lawyer for a divorce and the receptionist tells you she is forwarding your call to Ashley Smith, do yourself a big favor and hang up. She was all talk and no action. She acted like she was intimidated of my wife's attorney and didn't want to make ...him angry. The settlement I agreed to was under duress and was far less than what they originally offered me without representation. All I can say now I know why attorneys have such horrible reputations and why this law firm uses actors to portray satisfied customers.

Divorce Lawyer

I Hired Ashley Smith To Help Me With My Divorce She Acted Like It Was Her First Day On The Job She Promised That She Could Help Me But She Didn’t Help Me At All Especially When We Went To Mediation I Would Have Been Better Off Representing myself I About 3/4 Of My Retirement because of her I Do Not ...Recommend Ashley Smith At All

At peace again

I cannot say enough about Ms. Ashley Smith. She is the eye of the storm. The part in the middle that is calm and stable while there is chaos spinning all around. Some of us, like me show up in her office vulnerable, clueless, scared, hopeless the list goes on. Ashley is not your therapist nor is she ...going to tell you everything will be fine but what she will do is listen, focus, instruct, compile, answer every single question, guide you. She will only reach out if she has to. Be patient because I can assure you she is working thoroughly on your case. I put all of my trust and fate in her hands and it was not easy. When it came time it was incredible to watch Ashley work. Her professionalism and determination is above and beyond. She is a true inspiration. I have friends who separated before I did and my case finished before theirs, Above all Ashley exceeded all of my wants, needs and expectations in the end. I can move on assured my son and I will be completely secure in our future and I have Ashley to thank for it all.
