Posted by Penny | May 24, 2015 | Estate Planning

Great Family Attorney!

Excellent service and knowledge about special needs planning. We completed all of our future planning without any hassles. We even learned about choosing a guardian.

Kind & Helpful Lawyer

When my son was working overseas, Ashley met with me to work out his child support paperwork. I was so confused! She was so patient and helped me, as my son's POA, get all of the paperwork complete and filed so he didn't get fined. She was a life saver!

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.
