Highly recommended- calm, organized and competent divorce attorney

Ashley represented me in my divorce case. A divorce that should have been straight forward but meandered way longer than it should have due to delays with opposing party and the court system. She kept me on task and calm when I started to spiral out. She approached the case with a negotiation attitud...e and not a slimy shark mentality. This is key if you want your divorce to end without going to trial. Her paralegal, Ruby, always had my back, is incredibly smart snd answered questions late at night when I was floundering. The reassurance was everything. Collectively, they got my divorce done in just under 1 year and I’m content with the outcome. She was organized, always responded within 24 hours and spent way over an hour with me on our free consult call. I didn’t have to micromanage anything .. I’ve read others had to with other attorneys. I recommend her!

Highly Recommend!

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!

Best of the best

Ashley has represented me twice in two completely unrelated matters. She is incredibly professional in all that she does and it is clear that she cares deeply about each and every case and sincerely wants the best outcome for you. Ashley and her staff are very responsive and always get back to you ...promptly with answers to questions and are so good about making things clear and not confusing. I’m so grateful that Ashley was recommended to me and when I needed representation again I didn’t hesitate on reaching out to her. Once again she didn’t let me down. The process was smooth and resolved very quickly.

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!

Highly Recommend

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 f...inish 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.
