FANTASTIC, 5 star Representation

If you're looking for a dedicated and skilled attorney to guide you through challenging legal battles, I highly recommend Ashley Burkett. Over the past three years, Ashley demonstrated unwavering commitment and integrity as she helped navigate a complex legal situation. We faced significant challenge...s, including an opposing counsel known for bending the truth and a judge who didn't adhere to standard law. Nonetheless, Ashley's steadfast dedication led us to a triumphant victory in the court of appeals, which was crucial for our case. Not only did Ashley excel legally, but her heartfelt approach also made a substantial difference. Her advocacy ensured that I was able to reunite with my children and provide them with a better environment. Her client-focused attitude and tireless work ethic make her an outstanding choice for anyone in need of legal representation. Ashley Burkett truly stands out as an advocate for her clients and their families, and I am incredibly grateful for her support.

More Than Just a Lawyer

Working with Ashley over the past two years has been nothing short of a lifeline. From day one, she brought not just legal expertise, but deep emotional insight, honest advice, and a level of genuine care that I didn’t expect, but truly needed. She supported me through every step, offering clear guid...ance during an emotionally complex process, and always kept communication transparent, including around expenses and timelines. Ashley has a way of being both fierce and compassionate, advocating assertively when needed, while still making space for your feelings and goals. I’m so grateful for her support and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone in need of thoughtful, honest legal counsel.

An Exceptional Advocate — Highly Recommended!

Ashley Burkett is an absolute powerhouse and a true professional. She helped me navigate one of the most difficult times in my life—my divorce and child support case—with unmatched dedication, expertise, and tenacity. She is not one to be messed with and will stop at nothing to look out for her clien...t’s best interests. What impressed me even more was her integrity and professionalism after my spouse and I reconciled. Despite the shift in circumstances, Ashley continued to treat everyone involved with the utmost respect, offering guidance and support without skipping a beat. Her ability to adapt while still delivering top-tier service speaks volumes about her character and commitment. If you're looking for someone who will fiercely advocate for you, stand by your side, and handle your case with both strength and grace, Ashley Burkett is the one you want in your corner. Highly, highly recommended!

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!

"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."
