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.

You won’t be disappointed!

Best decision I could have made was hiring Ashley and trust me I checked around, I was so nervous to try and find someone to help me navigate through my future. You must know my Ex is a true Narcissist. Ashley, is NOT afraid of a true Narcissist! Please hear me when I tell you, I was scared. You kn...ow the sayings “you never want to go to court with a Narc…ever,” “they never want to settle” blah blah blah Ashley did amazing, I still can’t believe it! She had facts, she had realities, she knows law, she is professional, has a drive that I lacked from being worn down and had the determination she will fight for me no matter what, like I was her only client! She was ready to walk in that courtroom and show the judge his true colors and throw out all the stops and the facts and the law so the judge would need to decide things in my favor. However, we didn’t have to go to court. She got him to see the writing on the wall and somehow we settled outside of court. I will use her again if he tries to pull any fast ones on me. I trust this woman more than I thought I could trust anyone to care about my life the way she has! She will fight for you no matter what, her spunk and determination has set the bar super high for anyone to match!

I would stand outside preaching the gospel of Ashley Puro

Ashley was recommended to me and we had a phone consult hours later. Immediately I knew she was who I wanted. From the start, she has been honest and straightforward. She let me know exactly what to expect every step of the way and kept me updated and in the loop with everything going on. Ashley was ...knowledgeable and diligent in every aspect and extremely organized. Every question or concern was addressed immediately regardless of date or time. She made sure I was prepared for hearings, depositions and trials accordingly. This case was a hot mess express but not for Ashley...There is was so much inconsistency and miscommunication on the others parties side, night and day difference from what I was experiencing. That was the moment that I knew I had picked the right attorney but they did not. I felt bad for a moment but that quickly faded seconds later. I am extremely grateful for her and her services in helping my facilitate a custody agreement with my son. She truly understands and cares about every client and takes the time needed with every case and these are people's lives not just a paycheck.

Extremely professional, hard working, selfless Attorney

With just a few days to deploy to a location with very limited communications, I was in a bad situation and trying to divorce my non-cooperative wife. I was referred to Ashley Puro by my Legal Office and got in contact. After meeting with her once for a consultation, I felt relieved and in good hands.... I was able to go on a 4 month deployment and focus on my job and not this mess that was going on at home. Ashley did everything. Any request, no matter what the hours were in the day. She contacted me only when she absolutely had to obtain my intent or answer a question. She's extremely kind, respectful, hard working, and personable. I could/can trust her with anything. She would often do over and above work and not charge me. She's a class act. After a few months (because the lack of cooperation with the opposing party) the divorce was finalized and Ashley had protected my assets and reached a fair compromise. I will absolutely go to her in the future for any and all legal needs that I have. Highly recommend this attorney!

Mrs. Puro is an excellent attorney, and I am very happy I chose Mrs. Puro to represent me in a family law case.

Mrs. Puro is an excellent attorney and went above and beyond for me working my family law case. Mrs. Puro was only given a very short period of time to prepare for my very important relocation hearing. The lack of time that was given to Mrs. Puro was due to my previous attorney. Mrs. Puro reviewed nu...merous documents that had already been submitted from my previous attorney, and was able to get caught up on the case. Mrs. Puro was more aware of what was taking place in my case, than my attorney that hired nine months previously. When I consulted with Mrs. Puro she had accurate answers and was able to recite the law and procedures off the top of her head without consulting a different type of medium. After I had hired Mrs. Puro she got right on the case and pointed out inconsistencies from the other side that were detrimental in the relocation hearing. Mrs. Puro was always available and worked timelessly on my case and always kept me up to date with my case. I would entrust any family law issues to Mrs. Puro and feel like I had a very strong advocate supporting my case. I was so impressed with her devotion and time she contributed to my case. I wish I had hired her nine months earlier in my case, I am sure the attorney you choose can change the outcome of your case. I have never seen another attorney work so hard and have the great ideas Mrs. Puro had for moving forward in my case. I could not be any more pleased to have hired Mrs. Puro and am grateful for her hard work and dedication.

"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+!"
