Ashley Patton Butler

I would not hire Ashley, she is very unprofessional and does not invest the time required to understand a case. I requested a lawyer who had experience dealing with military cases, and was rereferred to Ashley. She was very inexperienced dealing with military custody cases, she did not take the tim...e to prepare for my case, showed up 15 minutes before court was scheduled to start. She was more concerned with rushing through my case and provided bad advice on signing an agreement, that further complicated the situation. I ended up hiring another attorney who attempted to conduct damage control and fix all the mistakes she made. I would NOT recommend her.

This is the second time I have reached out to Ashley for legal help. I am glad I picked up the phone that day and called Ashley. I first met with Ashley about my custody case on 9/13, and as of 10/2 we had a signed order from the judge. Ashley and Jessica are incredible, informative and let you know ...what is happening every step of the way. In court, Ashley was fierce and extremely prepared. Ashley spoke with confidence and professionalism, and not once made me feel uncertain of the outcome. Ashley and Jessica's friendly smiles were always there to greet me and answer any questions I had. If you want results, I strongly recommend Ashley Butler and her team. Thank you Ashley!

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.

Ashley was very professional during a difficult time, it helped knowing that my lawyer was a shoulder for me to lean on and a huge suport when I needed it. She was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Because of that it made it easy to open up to her, I felt as if I knew Ashley my whole life. She m...ade me feel at ease about my custody hearing eventhough I was very anxious at times and it was a difficult situation, I would recommend Ashley to anybody seeking a great down to earth lawyer that will make you feel welcome and confident.
