Posted by Allesse | June 20, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Child Support

Ashlee was truly amazing!!!!!! I'm so blessed I had her to help fight to reopen my child custody case!!

Ashlee played a major role in the fight to get my son back after losing custody to the father that had been absent most of my son's life. My previous attorney (Karl Andersen) had made such a huge mess of my case, that several attorneys I consulted with prior to Ashlee had told me to appeal my case wo...uld be difficult and most likely would not result in a favorable decision for me. I knew I had to fight anyway even though the judge had made it clear in open court that she did not like me and was biased against me. Throughout the process, Ashlee was there to guide me, answer questions, was patient with me, and stood her ground graciously against the opposing attorney after he completely bullied and intimidated my last attorney. She gave me confidence that she knew what she was doing and I had complete faith her. Ultimately we were able to get the final order changed. My son was returned to me with me having full custody and child support. From the bottom of my heart, I appreciate and thank Ashlee for all her hard work and help on my case!

Allesse, we had a tough situation with the judge you had and I am so happy we were able to turn it around for you. Best wishes for you and your son!

Simply the best!

Going to court can be pretty intimidating. My first time going to my court appearance I hired a different lawyer who did not remember my court date, let alone remember my name the day off!! After my terrible incident, I went on google and searched up child custody lawyers and called around for consul...tations. I came across McFarling Law Group and after my consultation with Ashlee I felt really good and satisfied. She had that confidence vibe that you could trust her and definitely would not forget you the day of court! Coming into Ashlee’s office I was really closed off to the idea of joint custody but she made me understand that in my case there was no way around it. She laid out every possible time share option there was for me util we came to a final joint custody decision. She even got me a good amount in child support arrears! In the end I was really satisfied because she made me understand my situation better and to not look down upon it. Truly the best lawyer and such a sweet person!! Thank you again soooo much!!

Custody/Child Support Modification.

I met with Ms. Vazquez at the recommendation of the lead attorney (Emily McFarling) in her office who I’ve used in the past and trust more than anybody. Ashlee fits right in with this family of attorneys. They care, they listen, they’re efficient and they’re honest. I modified custody and child suppo...rt at the end of 2018 and Ashlee handled it exactly the way I wanted her to. From the initial consulataion she asked so many questions, asked how I felt and what I was comfortable with, gave multiple suggestions and timeshare options for me to think about but it was so much more than just a lawyer doing her job. This type of case is so emotional, scary and stressful. When you’re a parent it’s literally your life, your entire world on the line and the attorneys at this office know that, they take it seriously. She didn’t just give me great legal advice, she gave me encouragement and made things as easy as they could be. Answered messages right away and did meetings over the phone to avoid trips to the office. We took a settlement meeting before going into court which normally would be a stressful situation, it wasn’t. I knew she knew what I was comfortable with and what I wasn’t willing to do and when the other attorneys were throwing things at me too fast she took the time during the meeting to allow her and I time together alone to come up with something that would work for my son and I. These things can last years and the fighting can be brutal but Ashlee had it handled in a few months. From the courtroom to phone calls to emails she was so professional and caring. You can tell she’s truly passionate about helping families. I’ve been dealing with parental alienation and a co parent who breaks court orders for years. In this case he was asking for me to give up primary custody and child support and asking for himself to have it and me to see my son every other weekend. He’s done this in the past. It’s almost a repetitive, predictive bahavior which Ashlee saw right away. Aside from what I was and wasn’t comfortable with, she knew right from wrong and she wasn’t going to let that happen. This can be very lonely thing to go through so it was nice to work with somebody who understood what I’ve been going through for years and who was willing to speak on it and bring it to the judges attention. She isn’t the type of attorney to drag you through it and rack up fees. She wants to get your case closed and your family back on track as quickly as possible. Thank you Ashlee, Emily, Tricia and everybody at McFarling law.

I am so appreciative to Ashlee for representing me in a child support case. She listened to my position and did what it took to get a favorable result. She is knowledgeable, compassionate, but also strong-willed and realistic. I highly recommend Ashlee if you need a family law attorney.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Ashlee has to be one of the best attorneys I've worked with in my three (3) years working in family law. I came from insurance defense after several years and for the most part family law lawyers are very different in level of professionalism. Ashlee however was very professional, prompt and easy to get a hold of unlike a lot of family lawyers I have worked with. In this field where emotions are high, Ashlee did not take on the issues of her client and make personal attacks on me which I find many lawyers do in this field. She was definitely one of the better attorneys I had the pleasure of working with even though our case was difficult."

"I first met Ashlee when she was on assignment, as a law clerk, to review a tremendous load of documents in my possession. Despite the sheer boredom one would expect to accompany such a task, you never would have been able to tell that she was anything other than thrilled to be engaging with this material. Since that first encounter I’ve seen Ashlee go from law clerk, while still in school, to a rising star in the family law community. She has a very agreeable affect, and gets along well with others, especially other lawyers. Dispute this area of law being notorious for bad blood among lawyers, Ashlee has been able to be better than that. Without the distraction of being affected by bad lawyers on the other side of her case, she’s able to focus on the client, providing tremendous value, as well as insight. Ashlee is smart, knows the law well, and works hard. I don’t know what more we could expect from any other lawyer in this community. She surpasses expectations, and challenges norms."
