Amazing with clear vision of how to prevail.

Mrs. Puro has handled my custody case and has been amazing to work with and assist me with my case. Mrs. Puro gained my full respect as I watched her dominate the other team of attorneys. Yes I said the team as opposing counsel had multiple attorneys and staff. Mrs. Puro knew the facts of the case as... well as the rules governing family law better than anyone involved in the case. Mrs. Puro is honest intelligent and always available. These qualities are very very rare these days and I was very impressed as we prevailed in my case.

Divorce case

Ms Puro was exactly who I needed in my corner for my case. She was both, extremely professional and helpful, in helping me understand what all of my options were and how the process works. For any future family law issues that arise, her name will without a doubt be the first one I think of. She's a ...hard worker and she knows what she's doing.

Divorce and child custody case

I had a consultation with Ms Ashley Puro. She was very knowledgeable and direct and I prefer that. Ms Ashley certainly had more knowledge about the laws and rights than many other lawyers. My case is a more difficult and complicated case but I did come away from the consultation with hope that a ...good lawyer like Ms Puro can help. I would definitely recommend Ms Puro to represent me if I can attain a lawyer and I would recommend others to turn to Ms Puro for representation.

Excellent Lawyer

Ashley has been there from day one to help me get through my divorce. She has been on top of every detail of the case. She sends me updates the moment she receives them so that I am always in the know. Ashley has gone far above and beyond to make sure we were successful. I will say that when I ...met my ex's lawyer, I was embarrassed for him. Ashley put in 100x the work and effort as the opposing attorney. She also had great rapport with all of the officials that we came in contact with. This girl knows her stuff and how to get the job done. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs excellent family law counsel.

Awesome

Ashley took my case in on an emergancy basis with almost no time before I had to be in court. She was able to grasp my personality and told me exactly what my battles would be and what to do in court. It was swift justice on D day. Thank you.

"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+!"

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
