Ashley handled my divorce and took something that was very tough and painful and made it easier. She kept me on track and always had my best interest in mind. I highly recommend Burkett Law.

Friendly, fast, and great at what she does

I cannot recommend Ashley enough! She guided me through a very challenging time with professionalism, compassion, and expertise. From the beginning, she made me feel heard and understood, always taking the time to explain each step of the legal process clearly. Ashley was incredibly responsive, addre...ssing my concerns promptly and giving me the confidence that my case was in good hands. Her knowledge and experience in family law were evident, and she fought hard to ensure the best outcome for myself and family. I truly appreciate her dedication and support throughout the entire process. If you're looking for a family lawyer who is both skilled and caring, Ashley is the one to trust!

Couldn’t have asked for better representation

One of the best examples of an attorney that you could find is Ashley. My wife and I hired her for our custodial case, and she was very timely, very professional and knowledgeable. In what was for me a very uncomfortable position to be in, she was able to talk my wife and me through the process to ma...ke it as easy as possible(under the circumstances). She was worth every penny and would recommend her to anybody I know going through family law struggles.

Fantastic Attorney with a Wealth of Knowledge

Ashley is such a gem when it comes to divorce law. She's a fantastic attorney who really does her research well. I spoke with her about getting a divorce, she was honest and insightful, pointing me toward additional resources since our case did not involve children or assets. Unlike my experiences ...with other attorneys, who often gave conflicting advice, Ashley provided clear and direct guidance. She only takes on cases where she believes there is a genuine opportunity for success, ensuring that her clients' time and resources are well-respected. Beyond her expertise, Ashley's compassionate approach makes her a joy to work with. If you've not yet had a consultation with her, I highly recommend doing so—you won't be disappointed.

"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."
