Great experience

I worked with Ashley on a prenup just before getting married. Ashley did a great job of listening to what my then-fiancee (now wife) and I wanted and helping draft the legal language for an agreement that met our needs. She helped push our thinking on issues of importance in the agreement. Overall, s...he was a pleasure to work with and helped us to quickly and painlessly get to a contract, taking the stress out of this part of this part of the marriage process for us.

Excellent Experience

Ashley was an excellent attorney for my divorce. She (and her assistant) responded to my calls and emails almost immediately every time I reached out. She answered all my questions no matter how many times I asked and how small they seemed. She was very understanding and simultaneously very direct wi...th the reality of my situation. She made it easy to get things done virtually. On a personal note, she made me feel that I was heard and that my case was important. If you are going through a divorce, I'm so sorry, but Ashley will be in your corner fighting for you.

Ashley Heredia is the Best

Ms. Heredia was highly recommended to me, and I can’t recommend her enough. She provided me with the exact legal representation, support, and guidance I needed during a very difficult time. She is extremely knowledgeable, responsive, and most importantly compassionate. I cannot thank her enough.... If you’re in need of a family lawyer, you do not need to look any more.

Excellent Communication and Vast Knowledge

If you’re reading this review, chances are you are seeking legal representation in what is likely a difficult time. That was me a few months ago. Having an attorney who keeps you up to date, listens, and provides experienced/valuable knowledge and feedback is paramount. Ashley has all of these attrib...utes and more! She returned my emails and phone calls in a timely manner, provided sound legal advice with an immense attention to detail, and was focused on providing the best possible outcome to my situation. I don’t usually leave reviews, but the legal representation I received is more than worthy. I can’t say enough good things about my experience in what was a trying time for me. Throughout the process I always felt like I had the best attorney who was focused on my case. There are many attorneys, but if you want the best, I suggest reaching out to Ashley. It won’t take long for you to realize you have found someone who is passionate about their profession and who is willing to take the “above and beyond” approach to ensuring your case is represented in the best way possible.

An exceptional attorney and advisor

I cannot speak highly enough of Ashley's guidance, council and support through what was one of the toughest journeys in my life. Her exceptional knowledge of the law is innately evident, yet unique, given her ability to advise clients in such an impactful and comforting way. Personally and profess...ionally, she helped me get through what I have felt to be one the most vulnerable times in my life, and I will be forever grateful. I cannot recommend Ashley enough, and consider myself honored to have had her representation.
