Highly Recommended

The trials and tribulations of my divorce (15 year marriage, 19 year relationship, 1 minor child, joint house and vehicles) have been intense and confusing. In a rather bewildering time in my life, Ashley was there to give me honest answers, legal ramifications, feasibility, protections and encourage...ment. She has found a way to balance professionalism and human empathy in a way that I find admirable and immensely helpful. While I hope never to have to go through such a harrowing experience again, I would not hesitate to turn to Ashley again. I highly recommend this professional.

Ashley is awesome!!!

I couldn't recommend Ashley enough. Through my divorce, I left every interaction knowing that she had my children's best interest at heart. She understood the emotional toll and took immense care when navigating me through the process. Her ability to demand level headedness and reasonable decision ma...king (from both sides) helped us cross the finish line. Thank you Ashley!

Knowledgeable, responsive and cares

Ashley took the time to understand my unique situation and clearly explained what to expect and all the options. She is the perfect blend of fierce (direct, no bs) and compassionate. She’s an attorney who TRULY keeps best interests of the family in mind - not what’s going to make her the most money. ...If keeping things collaborative is your aim, she should be your choice. At the same time, she knows her stuff and won’t let you be taken advantage of. Ashley limits the number of clients she takes so that everyone gets top notch communication and attention. I never waited very long for a response to email. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend

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.

Fantastic Divorce Attorney

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 so...und 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.
