A true advocate for my family! His hard work, and tenacious representation resulted in multiple victories for my family!

Ashley represented me during my divorce in 2015. He was patient in explaining the process and proved an expert in his field with his knowledge of family law. He provided incredible support in helping me take the right steps to put my family in the best position possible for our new journey. His repre...sentation had both conviction and compassion and I feel that he was able to help me get a very fair settlement in my mediation process. Ashley represented me a second time last year when I had to go to trial against my ex-husband to modify our divorce decree to be able to relocate myself and my daughters back to Kansas City. This was by far the most stressful and traumatic life event I've ever gone through, and Mr. Specia was with me every step. I felt he took on my case with a most sincere heart, and raw determination that is rarely seen this day and age. He poured over the details of my case and was incredibly diligent in his preparation for my trial. During trial, he fought for me and advocated for me in a way that still gives me goosebumps to think about. We won the trial and were granted the relocation, and I am positive I couldn't have done it without Ashley. My ex-husband filed an appeal on my relocation and even though Ashley did not represent me on the appeal, he remained my steadfast partner and helped me interview and find the best appellate lawyer for my case. We just got word that the appeal was denied, so another huge victory for my family! If you want a true advocate for yourself and your family, someone who will fight for you and give you superior representation in all aspects, Ashley is your guy! I will be forever grateful for Mr. Specia and everything he has done for me and my family!

An attorney that is respectful and has integrity.

Mr.Specia has always been such a great listener and always answered any of my questions. Going through my divorce I was so scared having to deal with my husband since he has such a strong personality. Mr. Specia made me feel more at ease and to be strong again. To find myself again and not be afrai...d to stand up to him. With Mr. Specia as my attorney I wasn't just a number he took the time to see about what I needed and to see if could or not be obtained. I wasn't afraid anymore because I know Mr. Specia could handle any problems that my husband was going to create. Going through everything that I did it was difficult for me to trust anyone. It was a task in itself but somehow Mr. Specia did gain my trust and I'm very greatful for that. I would highly recommend him to anyone. He as integrity and I trust him completely.
