Ashley Rachelle Marelius

Ashley handled a stressful legal situation with boldness, professionalism, and a clear strategy. What I am grateful for most was her ability to resolve the matter efficiently, without dragging it into unnecessary court time or expense. I shared my goals with her at the start of the case and she staye...d focused on them, ultimately helping me resolve things so we were able to avoid a hearing. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend Ashley Marelius, Ruby and company. I had to change lawyers because the 1st one was noncommunicative. Ashley called me back the same day I called her. I knew she was going to be great. She walked with me through probably the hardest 18 months I've ever been through. Her knowledge, pat...ience and resources helped find our way through a labyrinth of having to submit subpoenas to find hidden assets, secure a qualified skilled forensic accountant, and through all that and more she stayed in touch with me to put me at ease, was very polite to opposing counsel, and kept everyone level headed. She knows her stuff.

I was recommended to Ashley Marelius by a former partner of the firm. I was in a terrible state and feeling desperate, but he reassured me, “Ashley will take care of you.” I am happy to say he was right. Ashley accepted my case, which while not complicated, was born out of extremely emotional and tra...umatic circumstances. She has a well-deserved reputation of being very quick to respond, thorough, communicative, and empathetic. She is a true advocate who cares about her clients. Her concern was getting the case resolved fairly and amicably, as quickly as possible, rather than seeing how many hours she could bill. She took measures to find resolutions that avoided needless delays and unnecessary expenses, while always providing advice in a timely and professional manner. Her paralegal, Ruby Perren, proved a lifesaver on many occasions. I am extremely grateful to both of them for treating me like a person, rather than a client.

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 b...e 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.
