"After working with Ashley for years as a colleague in the legal community, I respected her so much I asked her to consider forming a partnership. Effective May 1 we launched Stamatelos & Tollakson, committing ourselves to a law practice as compassionate problem solvers for our clients. Ashley is not only a great lawyer, and a person who cares about her clients, but she is a well rounded person in general. In addition to the love for her husband and two children, she is passionate about running and is accomplished as a marathoner. This perseverance serves her well as an attorney.
