About Ashley
Biography
I represent mothers and fathers regarding divorces, paternity, child custody, child support, parenting time, relocation, emancipation, and a variety of other family law issues.
I am trained as a collaborative family law attorney. The collaborative family law process is a unique, forward-thinking process used in family law cases. Its primary focus is peaceful, fair solutions rather than the traditional litigation based approach. This process can be extremely useful for divorcing couples with children who strive for a peaceful co-parent relationship instead of a conflict-centered divorce.
I am a member of the family law section and the new lawyers section of the Allen County Bar Association.
My husband and I are foster parents and the proud parents of two adopted children.

Terrible experience
I had Ashley represent me in a custody case. She did not do a good job. I never felt she was on my side. I felt it was strictly about money and none of my billing was correct, even the dates were wrong. I finally had enough when she more or less called me a liar.

Replied last June 11, 2019I am sorry to hear that you were unable happy with the handling of your case. In every case, I focus on the interests and needs of my client. I also present the best case I can for each client, while also giving practical advice and setting realistic expectations for my clients. I would be happy to discuss any particular concerns you had about your representation, including any billing errors you believe were made.

Lost my kids.
She was my first attorney when going through a contentious divorce. She was also my first mistake. I lost custody of my kids to an abusive spouse with a long paper trail of anger management classes. I would have been better without her.
