Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have known Ashley for several years, and have had the chance to see her in action on several occasions. She is a very knowledgeable and hard working attorney- for her criminal defense or family law clients. Most recently, I had the opportunity to work with Ashley on a termination case where she acted as the guardian ad litem. She was thorough, flexible, and patient while working with the family I was representing, as well as being attentive to the case in general. I would recommend Ashley to any client who needs an attorney. She works hard for her clients, and is a pleasure to work with as an attorney as well."

Avvo Rating

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.
