Fantastic attorney and staff

I cannot say enough good things about Ashley Marelius and the team at Breen, Ball & Marelius. From the very first consultation, they were professional, kind, and incredibly supportive during a difficult time. They took the time to explain all my options clearly, ensuring that I understood every step ...of the process. Their prompt service and attention to detail made everything feel seamless. Any time I had a question or concern, they responded quickly and with compassion. I truly felt like they had my best interests at heart, and their expertise gave me confidence throughout my case. If you’re looking for a family law attorney who is not only knowledgeable but also genuinely cares about their clients, I highly recommend them. They made a challenging situation much more manageable, and I am so grateful for their guidance and professionalism.

She worked hard for me and communicated through the whole journey amazing. She was very knowledgeable and couldn't have done it without her knowledge and expertise.

The Attorney You Don't Know You Need

First off, I am a narcissist. I came to Ashley with a plan – blame everything on my soon-to-be ex, take no responsibility, and emerge victorious. Unfortunately for me, Ashley was far too professional to play along. Ashley flat-out refused to entertain any “creative” ideas about hiding assets or co...nveniently misplacing bank statements. Apparently, she believes in doing things by the book. If you’re looking for someone to tell you exactly what you want to hear – Ashley is not your person. But if you want someone who will calmly steer you toward what you actually need, I begrudgingly admit she’s the best choice. She also responds way too quickly to emails. I had hoped for at least 48 hours of panic before getting a reply, but Ashley usually replied the same day, sometimes within hours. Honestly, it’s exhausting being that prepared and communicative. To make matters worse, she doesn’t just listen to you vent – she interrupts with solutions. She insisted we focus on resolving the case fairly and efficiently instead of turning it into the three-ring circus I envisioned. I guess professionalism is her thing. In short, if you’re looking for someone to fight dirty, keep looking. But if you’re after an attorney who is ethical, responsive, and fiercely competent, Ashley is your best (and maybe most frustrating) choice. 5/5 Stars – Consider yourself warned.

Ashley and Ruby Are Amazing!

They both handled my high conflict case with excellent detail. They both explained everything to me and made sure I understood how to make the most informed decisions while being the best advocate for me.
