Ashley Patton Butler

I hired Mrs. Butler back in July for my child custody case. She was up front about her cost and the time frame the case will take. Mrs. Butler and her assistant were always available to take calls and was easy to make appointments with. She made a horrible situation bearable with her knowledge and co...mpassion for what she does. I felt confident knowing I was in good hands with Mrs. Butler representing me. I highly recommend her.

I hired Ashley to handle my divorce after my first attorney was totally unprofessional and horrible. Naturally, never having done this before and that being my first experience - I was jaded and scared. During consultation, Ashley was confident and answered every question I had regarding my specifi...c situation. She really made me feel at ease. Once I hired her, she and her legal assistant were extremely forthcoming with communication. They proactively kept me updated on each process and if I did reach out to them for any reason, they were very quick to return phone calls or messages. I couldn't ask for a better lawyer or human being to have by my side during this difficult time. Because of her professionalism and caring, I hired her again a year later to handle the protective order against my unstable ex-husband. I didn't even think of looking for another attorney, she was the first person I thought of! I knew she would do everything in her power for me and do it with such a compassionate, caring demeanor. Once again, she did an amazing job for me. I recommend her to everyone I meet that may need that kind of assistance, and I share my wonderful experience with them all. If you're reading this, it's because you need someone on your side - you're doing your research because you don't know where to start or you want to be sure of who you are spending your hard earned money on to have in your corner, when times are already very difficult and stressful- and I'm here to tell you, you WANT Ashley on your side. She is truly amazing!

It is never easy when you are battling with a former spouse or partner over the care of a child. That said, you want to know that you are getting help from someone who genuinely cares about your situation. I can wholeheartedly say that Ashley cared about my case. She did not treat me as a one size... fits all client. She invested time and wisely used the retainer and fees I paid. She was a wealth of knowledge with resources for additional assistance. She truly understands the needs of her clients. I have dealt with other attorneys prior to finding Ashley. In my experience, other attorneys seem more preoccupied with dragging the cases on. This provides an impact to the family in both financial and emotional ways. This was clearly not Ashley's philosophy. I definitely got the sense that Ashley's motivations were genuine and her intentions are always for speedy resolution. I have recommended Ashley to my friends and family and will continue to do so now that my case is coming to a close. She has helped me to come to a peaceful resolution with my case and I am very grateful.

Let me start out by stating that my divorce situation was one in which I faced a small budget and a lot of stress. During a divorce, or any legal battle for that matter, it is natural to not be able to trust anyone easily. Most people aren't hiring an attorney for fun. Putting my full faith and gi...ving my complete trust to Ms. Ashley Butler was both the hardest and best things I have done. During the process, I was able to email any and all questions, as well as information I found out, to Rose, Ms. Butler's Senior Paralegal, and to Ms. Butler. Ms. Butler did keep in contact with me and took care of all the "heavy" work involved in my divorce. She also was very fair in keeping me aware of my spending limit included in my retainer. Other lawyers and law firms would have gladly lead me into a court battle and squeezed every penny from my retainer plus more. Not only did Ms. Butler keep my debt from increasing, she made sure that my child was top priority during the case, and found an excellent and very impartial mediator to help keep the harshness of divorce from further escalation. Had it not been for Ms. Butler's outstanding service, kind yet direct way of redirecting my attention to the process at hand, advice, as well as her in depth knowledge of the Texas legal system, I would not be even able to stand up right now and state that I am in a position to be a good single mother. If you are looking at needing an attorney that understands the Texas Legal System, is very calm and collected, quick to stand up for you and/or your children, and is very business like while still being a caring individual I would tell you that Ms. Ashley Butler is the attorney for you to hire. While she is compassionate, she won't back down when she knows she is right, and she won't stand down where there are areas that a client is obviously not prepared for nor understand. Again, it is already hard to trust people. It was hard at first for me to let go and realize that Ms. Ashley Butler not only was acting on my child's behalf and mine, but she is more than an attorney. She is an advocate for the law and I am quite pleased as well as relieved that my legal matters were and are in her hands. I am grateful for the time, advice, service, and the outcome of my divorce due to Ms. Ashley Butler's assistance as my attorney.

I just wanted to take this time to Thank You for your personal attention and professionalism in handling my divorce. Ashley and her staff were amazing! If I called with questions, she or her staff would return my calls or email me back immediately. If I did not understand she would explain or go back... over them until I did. I was scared to death going to court, and Ashley was so comforting. She told me not to worry and just explained some of the questions that were going to be asked. Ashley really has her client's best interest at heart. I would highly recommend her to everyone I know.
