Susan Ashley

With power of Attorney from our son we retained the services of Susan Ashley to represent him at his 2nd parole hearing. The reviews do not reflect our experience. We thought we had found a great attorney based on her reviews. She is twice as expensive than all the others that we spoke to with a prom...ise that she will do more. After you pay her upfront you will be lucky to hear directly from Susan as we were always directed to Susan's assistant Grace when we would call with questions or updates. After Susan's assistant did a one time initial visit to the prison to interview our son we nor our son ever received any updates including notifications of a parole hearing date. We never received any copies of any written information that she performed on our sons behalf nor did my son. We had to call her office many times just to see if he had a scheduled parole hearing date and would reach Grace. We left many messages with Grace that we wanted to speak with Susan bout her procedures at the parole hearing and if she would call us after ours sons parole hearing to give us an update. During one of the calls to find out if a parole hearing was scheduled we found out there was a scheduled hearing from Grace and that Susan had cancelled it and rescheduled it for a later date. None of which was discussed with us or our son prior to us making the call to her office. Finally Grace received a answer from Susan that yes she would call after the hearing. Susan did finally call after the hearing but only told us our son received great representation from her and that the information that we had provided her for her parole packet she felt was very helpful in her presentation. We waited almost 3weeks to get the outcome we finally had to call the parole office ourselves to find out if he made parole, no follow up from her office after many left messages to Grace and one conversation with Grace who said she did not want to call the parole board because she was concerned how the parole board would react to her calling. The outcome was very disappointing as it was parole with a 6 month program. We then called Susan's office once we found out what our son received to understand what it meant. Apparently I had a number that rang directly to Susan's office and she answered the phone, told me she was very busy with another client in her office that she could not speak to me. I tried to explain that what we found out and her response was "oh good he made parole". I said yes but not what we hoped for and asked about the program her response was I am busy you need to call and speak to Grace. We called Grace and she explained the program the best she could. Grace also said that as a part of their services they would work to help our son be transferred as soon as possible so he could begin the program. He waited over a month to be transferred to begin the program. We called to ask for help and she never returned our call. We finally had to call the Ombudsman program and he was transferred with in 2 days. We sent Susan a registered letter requesting copies of what she submitted to the parole board like the parole packet and Susan has yet to respond!! Don't waste your money the less expensive parole attorney we understand does more and offers much better communication and results.

After doing a lot of research, I hired Susan Ashley. My husband was sentenced 10 years to TDCJ, after 4 previous parole denials we felt like a lawyer was are only chance. Susan and her paralegal, Grace took time with me, gave me a lot of information and feedback. Answering all my questions and phone ...calls, keeping me informed. Susan went to the unit to visit and interview him. She presented his case on September 12th and we got the answer the very same day. His parole is approved with the completion of a program. He will be home soon. I truly feel like he would have gotten another denial if it hadn't been for Susan. I highly recommend her... hire her!!

I was searching for a parole attorney for my son and after many consultations I was getting very discouraged until I found Susan Ashley. I called her office late on a Friday afternoon probably close to closing time. I gave my name and number to her secretary and thought I wouldn't get a response unti...l Monday. That same evening around 7pm I received a call from Susan Ashley and presented my sons case to her and after talking with her I knew this was the parole attorney I needed to represent my son. I am so Thankful she took our case. My son was facing a 6yr sentence for DWI subsequent offense. He was sentenced in July of 2018. My son also had a prior conviction of 2 counts of felony DUI(death) 1 count of felony DUI(bodily injury). His chances of making first parole was slim to none. Susan Ashley is very knowledgeable in the prison system and has many years of experience. She was very thorough in assisting me in what I needed to do in getting the parole package together. She let us know what all the possibilities were with what to expect with the parole hearing. She kept me updated on everything that was going on. Susan sent her paralegal, Grace, to visit my son at the prison. She is also very knowledgeable of the prison system and my son was very impressed with her. No matter when I called her office my calls were returned the same day. Her staff is excellent. Everyone was so nice and pleasant to talk to and answered all my questions. Susan Ashley and her staff really care about their clients. It is March 2019 and my son was approved for first parole after completion of a program prior to his release. My son and I cannot thank Susan Ashley enough for the outcome. My son will be coming home soon thanks to Susan Ashley and her staff. If you are looking for a top notch parole attorney I highly recommend Susan Ashley.

I contacted Mrs. Ashley to represent a family member.I gave her imformation she requested and she let me know the worst case scenario he could possibly get a second set off on a 15 year sentence on aggravated sexual assault. I trusted Mrs. Ashley and I new she would work hard for us. she also ...informed me she always does the hard cases. once hired she sent a para legal to interview my family member at this point we new we had someone working on our side. my family member said para leagle was very kind and respectful something inmates aren't use to. If paroled we were expecting FI9. Mrs. Ashley battled on his behalf in Austin tx and knock it out the park with a decision to grant parole with a FI-4R . this family is completely grateful and happy we have made the best choice. not every one would help us Mrs. Ashley did. the Ashley law firm worked very hard for us and kept us well informed and showed us what we needed to do. she was my best decision I've made this year. i
