Susan Ashley

My husband was convicted of a felony & given 5 years in TDCJ, this was his 1st criminal offense ever. We were referred to Susan by a friend who also used Susan. Susan was able to get that friend set free on her 1st parole. I contacted Susan who reviewed the case & drove over an hour to meet my husban...d in TDCJ before she would say yes or no to taking the case. Susan wanted to meet my husband & get her opinion on the case before she just took my money. I was very appreciative of that as we had already paid so much in attorney fees. Susan met with my husband, got more details & decided to take our case. Everyone in TDCJ would tell my husband you never win your 1st case & all kinds of negative things. I met with Susan a couple times, got a great parole package together & would ask her questions & she was very helpful. She even contacted the trial attorney that we had used for the case to get more details & facts about the case. Once the date was set for us to talk with the parole board then Susan & I met to prep for the phone meeting with the Parole Board. We had previously met a couple times but that was all in regards to the parole package, case details & getting us to this point. Now she prepped me on how the conversation would go, how to answer & to get the facts that I wanted to share about my husband, etc… I had been shocked that we didn’t meet earlier to start prepping me for the call, but after we met I understand why we didn’t meet sooner as she wanted it all to be fresh on my mind. When the time for us to talk with the parole board, I met at her office & we called them. She was very prepared when she spoke to the parole board, she had remembered & had notes for all the facts that my husband & I had discussed with her. We worked well together, she did excellent presentation & the case was voted PAROLE on the 1st review!!! We will never be in this situation again, but I will definitely refer Susan to anyone that I know who needs a Parole Attorney.

My son just made parole on 3 felony cases. 2 were for intoxication assault and 1 case of felony DWI. We can thank Susan Ashley for representing him at his parole hearing. Susan visited him at his TDC unit and spent 2 hours discussing his case with him. His trouble began 20 years ago when he was 19 ...years old. He has a history of alcohol related offenses. Susan understood his situation and was prepared when she presented his case. The first time she presented his case he got the best possible result and was granted parole. As his family we were very satisfied with Susan because she communicated with us about his case and always took our phone calls herself. My son was very happy and pleased with Susan Ashley. I would highly recommend her for any parole case.

My husband was recently sentenced to six years for two sentences: fourth DWI and violation of probation. Two days before my husband was transferred to TDCJ, he was eligible for parole review; due to being in county for 8 months prior. When it was time to consider a parole attorney, I was unsure where... to begin to look! Through word of mouth, I heard of the amazing, compassionate work Ms. Susan Ashley offers to her clients. Within days of my husbands transfer to TDCJ, I hired Ms. Ashley to defend his case. Ms. Ashley explained clearly that the chances were not favorable for the first parole, considering he had only been in TDCJ for a week. She worked diligently, to be as prepared as should could be, for such a short amount of time to work in. She was very helpful and her passion to help others was clear! She met with parole on Thursday and a decision was made by the very next day!! My husband was granted parole on the first time! Not even 5 weeks in TDCJ and my husband is coming home soon!! I believe through her hard work and research, Ms. Ashley was very well prepared to present a case that was different than all others. We are truly thankful for her and her willingness to help when all odds were not in our favor. Thank you Ms. Susan Ashley!

My husband and I hired Susan Ashley the day before sentencing Jan. 2016, to 5 years TDCJ. We met with her prepared, and also interviewed from Susan about previous offenses. Being a registered Sex Offender, she made it very clear that the previous offense could slim the chance of being granted parole ...the first review, but will put forth the effort to get an approval first time around. Susan and I discussed about what paperwork she needed to make the inmate packet and had that done months before hearing. July 2016, 6 months in, parole interviews my husband. August 2016, Susan gives me a call to ask if I wanted to go to the parole hearing in person, as the parole region allowed, or conference call at her office. We then drove to Palestine Texas a 2 hour drive and she prepared me for what was going to be discussed and said, important key notes to point out and not to point out. At the parole hearing Susan did all the talking, representing her client, my husband, with perfect knowledge of his case on file and case from previous offense. Literally there were no questions asked by the lead voter, no comments, honestly was a short quiet meeting, but all facts were covered and Susan did everything she could to represent her client as a valued individual. Exactly 1 week and 1 day later parole was approved and granted to my husband as a FI-4R (11/2016). He has to complete a class before being released on parole in December 2016. Everything was done in perfect timing. Without a doubt I will always recommend Susan Ashley to anyone in need of a parole lawyer she was very successful in our hearing, Susan has really taken the time to study and make sure she understands everything that is going on in the case. Our hearing was a success and I'm very impressed about the outcome on our first review.

I hired Ms. Ashley for my husband's parole. He had his second felony DWI making his situation more difficult. Ms. Ashley took time to explain the process to me. She always returned calls or emails to answer questions and would call me to let me know what was next. My husband did not make his firs...t parole which was expected, Ms. Ashley made arrangements for me to talk with the first voter the next time around. She met with me two weeks prior to going to the parole board office so that I would know what to expect and feel comfortable. She did the work to know the case well plus know my husband's history and the second time was a success. I do recommend Ms. Ashley if you need a criminal attorney.
