Ashley Rachelle Marelius

Ashley was the only attorney that stayed on top of things she stayed on top wanting results. I felt comfortable and very satisfied in a very stressful situation. I can’t say enough on highly recommending Ashley in representing you!!!

Ms. Marelius was my attorney for the past several years in a case that went on for a long time. She is very prompt in getting back any time I had questions and very good at making sure she talked me off the ledge when I felt like things were going sideways. Takes a well rounded person and lawyer to be able to understand the client as a human and not just another case. She is compassionate and understands the real life struggle that is family law because of her experience with clients and working alongside veteran partners. I feel the staff at the courthouse (clerks, judges, etc) respect her because she shows respect on behalf of her clients in the courtroom. She is thoughtful in her plan of action and is a pleasant person to work with as well. Breen, Ball & Marelius is lucky to have her as an asset.

Very professional and easy to work with. Super polite and responds to emails promptly.

Ms. Marelius was responsive and efficient in handling my case. I would definitely use her again and recommend her to others needing family law representation.

Working with Ashley Marelius was a pleasure, during a very un-pleasurable time. She was quick, efficient, knowledgeable, quick to respond to emails, and billed fairly. She listened to my concerns, and took them very seriously. She was invaluable during my divorce proceedings, and offered not only sound legal advice, but compassion during a very difficult time. She gave me the space to try to work things out between myself and the other party when appropriate, but did not hesitate to step in and and vouch for what I wanted, and needed. She kept me updated frequently, and made sure I had no questions remaining at the end of my case. I highly recommend Ashley for anyone who is going through a divorce, or any other legal matter.

I highly recommend Ashley for child custody and parenting time needs. She made the process feel incredibly smooth with her expertise and recommendations. During our consultation she was able to recommend an alcohol monitoring company “Sober Link” that was the perfect solution to my concerns regarding the other coparent. I did not even know this resource existed and it was exactly what I needed. Originally, I anticipated having to take more drastic measures and instead they were completely alleviated with her recommendation. I was impressed with her availability and fast responses to all of my questions and concerns. I knew what to expect due to her ability to communicate the process effectively and I felt her fees were fair and transparent from the beginning. Her billing process and agreements were simple and convenient through an online platform to minimize in-person paperwork. She was encouraging and understanding which made this process much more manageable. Everyone knows how scary family law cases can be. Our children’s lives are literally on the line and I can’t think of any situation more important or terrifying. I cannot explain how empowering it was to finally take the necessary action knowing I had someone I could trust to help navigate the system. As expected, I received push back and threats from the other party and Ashley provided the support and reassurance through this difficult time. I can’t count how many times I thought “take my money”. She is well worth the cost and I am confident she will be able to help me navigate any custody needs I may have in the future.

Ashley helped me work through a very sticky divorce in which the Ex and I were not communicating at all.. she did a wonderful job in not only helping push me to gather documents and feed her information necessary, but she worked diligently against the opposing counsel as well. Hopefully I never have to go through this again, but if I do, Ashley will be my first call.

I would love to give Ashley Marelius a RAVE review for being an amazing divorce lawyer! Ashley is knowledgeable, extremely personable and easy to talk to as well. She is quick and efficient in her responses. I was nervous and overwhelmed about this whole process, but Ashley immediately put me at ease and guided me through each step providing advice when needed. I can't say enough good things about her. She is someone who wants the best for her client and is available to answer questions when needed. I have already recommended her to another friend because that is how much I trust Ashley and her abilities. She is a professional, but also someone who cares. I appreciate all she did for me and know she will continue to help so many others moving forward. I would add another 5 stars if I could to her rating. Thank you!!!

I highly recommend Ashley for your family law needs. She is a true professional who took the time to explain and always made sure you understand the issues and different decision paths. It’s not always easy choosing legal counsel, but you’ll be well served in choosing Ashley.

Ashley was my attorney for my divorce. This was the first time in my life I had to use an attorney and she was absolutely great to work with. I intially only consulted with her while I was in mediation and her insights proved to be pretty vital. Later when mediation stalled out I used her to finish up the divorce. She did in 2 days what I couldn't get done in 2 years. She is not your stiff suit corporate style attorney. Her plan of attack was actually to get desired results without having to bill lots of hours. That is not her goal. She has the uncanny ability to see through their bullsh*t, address it, respond to it in a very simple professional and courteous manner, without ever calling them out directly. A talent I like to think comes from her experience from rescuing and rehabilitating dogs who wound up with bad owners. If you're going through divorce and feel like you're dealing with an emotionally toxic person or narcissist, she is somebody who understands that dynamic. Her follow up and response times are awesome. I would absolutely recommend her in a heartbeat.

Ashley came recommended by our business attorney. I had never been through anything pertaining to Family Law & I overanalyze. She was very understanding with all my concerns and was realistic about every part of my case. She was very responsive to my requests/emails, keeping me informed along the way as well as following up with me after my case was settled to make sure I didn't have any more questions/concerns. She did a great job, and I am very happy with the outcome (in my favor).

Having Ashley as my attorney fsr exceeded my expectations for the outcome of my divorce and custody situation! I got way more than I imagined because she fought for me and my son, she is very understanding and knows how to get things done especially is situations that are very complicated! Definitely recommend Ashley if you need someone to help you with divorce/custody! Couldn't have dreamed of a better ending to the divorce

Ashley Marelius supported our family as we updated our court issued parenting plan and custody agreement. We couldn't have asked for a better lawyer. She listens well, she's knowledgeable in the field, and she was quick to respond all throughout the process. Most of all, she got us across the goal line. I would recommend her to my family and friends. I hope we do not need a lawyer in the future but if we do, she will be our first call. Thank you for helping our family in a stressful time of need.

Ashley came highly recommended to me when I needed help with my divorce. Her expertise made the process so much easier and faster than I expected it to be. She answered every question I had, and kept me in the loop every step of the way. She was very timely in responding to my emails, and her friendly way of explaining the legal language in a way that I could understand removed a lot of stress from the divorce proceedings.

I would recommend Ashley for family law issues. I hadn’t had to deal with custody things through an attorney for 12+ years but knew she was on my side and would stick up for me to get done what was fair for everyone. Often times people get stuck with what they need and not what’s best for their kids, I can say that we came up with something that we will try for my young one and if things don’t work after some time then we will revisit the drawing board. Hopefully not with attorneys but if I ever need one, I’ll be calling Ashley to know I’m in good hands. Through out the entire process she was great at communicating via email. I did see someone’s review that mentioned not talking on the phone etc. from my perspective I would prefer email too so I can look back at a conversation and there’s no chance for confusion. Thanks for everything Ashley!
