Ashley is the lawyer you want on your team!

Ashley is an incredible professional that helps you navigate one of the toughest challenges a family/individual will face. She is honest and operates with the utmost integrity and I can’t speak highly enough about how she shows up for her clients!

Above and beyond!

Ashley, is outstanding. I was given a document that was supposed to be a non-disclosure agreement and simple. What it turned out to be was a blanket non compete for a 5 mile radius and for a ridiculously long period of time. Had I just blindly signed it I would have cut myself off, or at least set ...myself up for litigation in the future. Ashley was thorough and an extreme asset to keeping me out of any potential future issues. As a real estate agent in an ever-changing industry, the last thing I needed was to eliminate a 5 mile radius of town out of my business for an extended period of time. Thanks Ashley! I will forever be grateful and recommend everyone one and anyone to your extremely expert hands!!

Fantastic

Mrs. Burkett was OUTSTANDING handling my divorce/custody case. My case lasted about a year Ashley was with me EVERY step of the way (and still is) and never missed a beat. Throughout my case there were so many twist and turns, numerous TPO hearings, I lost count of how many times paperwork on top of ...motions and emergency motions that had to be filed, dealing w CPS, and the list goes on and on. Ashley was on top of EVERY situation that came up always went above and beyond for me and my son. She is always honest w me, gives me sound advice, has never steered me wrong, and never let me down. I got everything we both worked so hard for in my case and then some. To say I don't know where I'd be without Mrs. Burkett is a complete understatement. I ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND! I wouldn't have anyone else in my corner.

Finally a lawyer that follows through to the end!!

First of all, I would recommend Ashley to anybody who asked for a great family Lawyer, We had a long and drawn out case like most. I’m sure, and Ashley did not miss a beat, myself and my entire family were extremely impressed by her professionalism and caring Ways in these delicate matters which are... highly emotionally charged. I was constantly impressed by her competency in each step of this process, really all we can say is thank you from the bottom of our hearts. I am so lucky to find her. I will forever be in her debt for all of the incredibly hard, and tedious work that she has put into our case. Ashley went above and beyond her call of duty many times, to make sure that our family was very very very well represented. Thank you so much.

Didn't do anything for my case

Ashley took my case and said it looked like we had a good case. She advised me not to turn in documents to the opposing attorney when I had given a date. She filed nothing to get it extended and I am left paying a $2200 to the other party. She also did a poor job of pushing facts for my case and bein...g on top of filing. I paid her $14,000 in less than 6 months and lost everything I was fighting for my kids. Then after the case when I told her all I had was what I gave her she came up with a bill for an additional $846.00. Being a single mom trying to fight for my kids and my career, all she did was cost me money that could have went to my kids future. I lost Everything in court. Not one thing and then had to pay the other attorney due to her lack of filing on time.

"My sibling Ashley is a motivated and thoughtful practitioner. She entered the legal field with extensive interpersonal, bookkeeping, and business management experience, and has dedicated her practice exclusively to family law. Ashley embraces the sociological and psychological aspects of family dispute resolution, and embodies the “counselor” role beautifully. She has been a great resource, and always makes herself available for client questions and referrals on divorce, custody, juvenile dependency, and delinquency matters. I am a sincerely appreciative colleague in the Southern Nevada legal community, and a proud brother."
