Outstanding Attorney – Highly Recommended!

I cannot say enough positive things about Attorney Ashley Puro and the incredible work she did on my family law case. She came into my case a year into the process, after my previous attorney failed to represent me properly. From the moment she stepped in, Ashley turned everything around. She immedia...tely understood the complexities of my situation, believed in me, and worked relentlessly to defend my rights and fight for what I deserved. Her dedication was unmatched—countless sleepless nights, meticulous attention to every detail, and an unwavering commitment to seeing my case through. Ashley is the kind of attorney who truly cares. She was incredibly responsive, always easy to get in touch with, and quick to respond to emails and texts. Her ability to think quickly and come up with effective solutions made a huge difference during some of the most difficult times in my life. Ashley Puro is not only a skilled and knowledgeable attorney, she’s a fierce advocate who fights for her clients with everything she has. I’m beyond grateful for everything she did for me. If you're looking for someone who will go above and beyond, believe in you, and fight tirelessly for your case—Ashley is the one you want by your side.

An attorney that will be by your side and fight for you

I was lost before I found Ms. Puro. She helped me understand everything in regards to my case to the point that I feel like I can be a paralegal (just kidding about becoming a paralegal but but did I learn a lot from her. She gave me strength during such a hard time dealing with my divorce and she fo...ught for me as much as she could. She never steered me wrong and I felt so comfortable with her because she was always honest with me. If you are a looking for an attorney that will be there for you and fight til the end with you this to make sure you are not taken advantage of well not need to look anymore because Ashley Puro is the only attorney you’ll need.

Ashley Puro is ABOVE and BEYOND

Choosing Ashley Puro as my attorney is hands down one of the best decisions I have ever made. My dissolution of marriage case had numerous unexpected twists and turns…. unfathomable situations. Ashley was quick, sharp, and navigated me through the darkest of circumstances. There were days where th...ings felt so difficult, I didn’t know how I was still able to continue pushing through…but I did. I owe that to Ashley. She offered me emotional succor during one of the hardest times of my life and remained steadfast in her diligence, knowledge, judgement, and compassion throughout the pendency of my entire case. Ashley Puro is not your typical attorney who clocks out at 5’oclock waiting for the next day…she takes her clients problems to bed with her at night as she continues to fight for your justice. She takes it personal because she truly CARES. She was always available to me, kept me in the loop of every detail going on, competently answered any questions I had and never failed to deliver. She is a fighter not scared or intimidated to take on any given situation and I would never want to be sitting on the opposite side of the table from her. I am eternally thankful for everything Ashley has done for me and my family. I would highly recommend Ashley Puro for any case without reservation!!

"I do not personally know nor have I ever met Ms. Puro. but over the past several months I have had occasion to read, and to agree with, many of her answers on AVVO. Although I only answer criminal law questions, and while her practice is focused on family law matters, in the realm of Domestic Violence there is a natural dovetail between criminal and family law and it is obvious to me that Ms. Puro has a command over this area of the law. Given her practice breakdown, and knowing that she is both precise and meticulous in her analysis, I am happy to recommend and otherwise endorse Ashley C. Puro for any of your Destin area family law, domestic violence and perhaps even general criminal defense needs. A+!"
