A father can win!
When I first came to Ashlee I had already spoken to a few attorneys but none really instilled much confidence in me. I felt I had a really strong case in the fight for custody of my 6 month old daughter. Ashlee was the only person I had spoken to that I felt truly cared about my case. My ex did not ...
Wow thanks for such the heart-filled review, Robert. Thank you for believing in me and McFarling Law Group. We appreciate you. I am so happy for you and your baby girl.
"Ashlee works tirelessly for every client. She is compassionate and a vigorous advocate. She is incredibly knowledgeable about family law and is a skilled trial attorney. Ashlee has gotten amazing results for her clients on some of the hardest cases I have ever seen. Working with her is a great privilege."
"Ashlee is extremely knowledgeable in various family law matters, including but not limited to, divorce, child custody, guardianship, TPR and adoption. She has been a great mentor to me and I have learned so much from her in such a short amount of time. She is also very personable, honest and she actually listens to her clients and has their best interest. I fully endorse Ashlee!"
"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."
"Ashlee is professional and respectful in her cases which is a such a pleasure to work with, even when you're on the other side of a case. She knows the law and she works hard for her clients and for that, I endorse this lawyer."
"Ashlee is a highly effective attorney who knows family law and the Nevada court system inside and out. If you are in search of an organized, knowledgeable, and dedicated representative who understands how to best achieve her clients' desired results, Ashlee is the attorney for you. I fully endorse her."
"Ashlee has been a great attorney to work alongside and an incredible mentor to me, even before becoming an attorney. Her calm and charismatic attitude in the courtroom goes a long way toward achieving favorable results for her clients. She knows when to be straightforward with her clients and works tirelessly to ensure her clients are well taken care of. I highly recommend Ashlee’s legal services."
"Ashlee is an excellent attorney who works tirelessly for her clients. She's incredibly smart and strives to provide a level of attention and care to each client that is rare in this profession. I highly recommend consulting with Ashlee for any legal issues."
"I endorse this lawyer. Ashlee Vazquez was opposing counsel in a recent divorce trial. I was impressed by her advocacy and level of preparation. She demonstrated superb analytical and writing abilities in a brief she filed during the trial."
"I worked with Ashlee when she substituted in on a custody case headed for trial. Ashlee was able to counsel her client to take a more reasonable position and we were able to settle the case amicably. I was impressed by Ashlee's professionalism and client control, and endorse her as a family lawyer."
"I have known Ashlee for several years and can attest that she is an extremely competent and zealous Attorney. Ashlee takes the time necessary for her clients and cares about their wellbeing. When I refer clients to Ashlee, I am confident they will receive the best representation."
"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."
"Ashlee has a wealth of experience with family law, and is a zealous advocate for her clients. She is kind, professional, and extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of divorce and child custody cases, including the applicable statutes and case law."
"I have known Ashlee for several years. Prior to being an attorney she was a volunteer CASA, which is an advocate for children in the court system-- most often foster care. Ashlee is dedicated to being a lawyer who makes a difference, not only for her clients, but for the children who often are a part of the process. Ashlee sees the big picture n family law disputes and represents accordingly."
"I have known Ashlee for several years and will attest that she is competent, assertive and compassionate; all the ingredients that make an excellent attorney. Any client that retains Ashlee is in great hands."
"Ashlee is one of the best attorneys I have ever worked with. She has the right balance of assertiveness and respect to be exceptionally effective in court and in negotiations with other attorneys. She gets to know each client and works out a strategy for their case to have the best possible chance of success. She is highly knowledgeable about the law and keeps up with every change in the rules, statutes and case law. She truly cares about her clients and in doing the best job she can."
"Ashlee is one of the brightest up-and-coming young lawyers I have ever met. She is compassionate and will work diligently to fight for her clients. Not only does Ashlee have tremendous writing skills, but she has a firm grasp on each of her cases and represents her clients eloquently in court."
