Superb Knowledge and Tenacity!

I did not know where to start when I found myself going to family court for my newborn against the father that had actually done me physical harm. I was referred to Ashley by the advocates through the ask a lawyer program and I am so glad that I was! Ashley has so much information and she makes it ea...sy to understand and will stand up for you and make sure you are comfortable throughout the process. I will definitely be referring her (I actually already have) and will undoubtedly hire her again if I ever need to. Thank you so much for helping through this tough situation!

Best decision!!

Amazing lawyer! During a process and custody battle, we're already dealing with a lot of emotional distress, the last thing we need it's to worry about the legal aspects of divorce and custody, and having Ashley representing me helped me so much, I felt secure and that I had a very knowledgeable and ...liable professional representing me, so I was free to deal only with the emotional impact of a custody battle. Also, she gave me a few scenarios and guided me in how things could be handled. The written part was very well written and very detailed, which helps to eliminate future disagreements between the parents. I highly recommend!!

Christmas Miracle

Ashley was my Christmas miracle as I hired her a few weeks prior to the Holiday. She assisted in part two of my divorce to have legal documents signed that were being refused even though it was stated in the divorce decree, who knew this could happen?! Ashley stepped up without out hesitation duri...ng the holiday, filed the appropriate paperwork, we even had it rushed & were granted & never was the holiday ever mentioned, she worked right through it! Ashley was awesome, knew exactly what to do, made me feel like her only client, was masterful in the courtroom & we actually had fun during this challenging process. She's amazing!

An amazing lawyer that makes you feel like a friend

She helped me with both of my children. She was very on top of everything and made sure to keep my needs first even when I didn’t. This woman wants the best for you no matter if you asked for it I can guarantee she will get it for you. I love how she kept me in the loop and always updated me on what ...was going on, she explained everything throughly and took her time. I felt heard and understood. With both of my cases the out come was exactly what I wanted and more. She is definitely my go to attorney.

Went Above & Beyond

Ashley took on my custody case and immediately went to work building a seamless case against my ex who had a history of domestic violence towards me. Ashley made sure that a protective order was put in place and remained in place from the start. She got justice for me & my daughter and I was awarded ...primary custody and made sure that my ex was held accountable for her actions. She was diligent and professional throughout the case till the end. She took my case very personally and worked tirelessly to insure that my daughter and I felt safe and secure. I would highly recommend Ashley to anyone as a single father of a little girl and a Hispanic male. She is a true professional and a genuinely kindhearted person. Thank you Ashley!

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."
