Best attorney you could hope.
Summer helped me with a licensing issue. I have experience with numerous attorneys including ones in her area of expertise and I have not worked with anyone as good as Summer. She is passionate, knowledgable, persistent, and an all around boss. I wish I had her in my corner for every battle I have...

Excellent litigator
Attorney McKeivier helped me with a case that required specific health care evaluation, chart reading, and interpretation.

Ashli S. McKeivier's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. Ms. Mckeivier is an excellent criminal lawyer who knows state and federal criminal defense. If you or a loved one has been charged or arrested for a crime, call her immediately for a consultation. She is one of the best attorneys in Southern California."
"I have known Summer professionally for almost four years and I endorse her without hesitation. She is an exceptionally smart, hardworking, and dedicated attorney. She is well liked and respected by judges and attorneys alike for her sharp mind and and personable approach. To her clients, Summer is a wise and passionate advocate who is not afraid to tackle difficult cases."
"I have know this lawyer for many years and have worked closely with her on several matters. I am an insurance defense attorney and have consulted this lawyer on several matters wherein there was a criminal aspect to a case. She is extremely professional, dependable, knowledgeable and thorough. I highly recommend her."
"I endorse this lawyer. I recently worked with Summer on a major Federal drug trafficking case. She was retained by the client and I served as local counsel. From our first meeting, I was impressed by the depth of her legal knowledge and willingness to LISTEN and put into action recommendations as to how best serve the client before a Judge with whom she had no experience. She had an immediate dead on assessment of the case, and took the necessary steps to minimize the clients exposure to a lengthy prison term. Summer prepped the client for the sentencing hearing, and he made one of the most moving and compelling presentence statements that I have ever heard. That statement, along with an excellent sentencing memo and successful arguments to the court, resulted in a sentence that she had predicted several months before. I have no hesitation in recommending and endorsing Summer, and am looking forward to working with her again"
"I endorse this lawyer. Having Summer appear in my Court when I was a judge and having worked with her on a few cases, I found her to be professional, well versed on the law, aggresive and the kind of lawyer you would want to have working on your case."
"I endorse this lawyer. Summer has been working for me for over 5 years now. It has been a real pleasure watching her grow into the tenacious advocate she is now. In fact, if I was to focus on just one quality of hers that sets her apart from other attorneys it would be tenacity. She leaves no stone un-turned for her clients and prosecutors do not like when they find that she has taken over a case. That is perhaps the best compliment that a criminal defense attorney can get."
"Summer and I have been working together on serious state and federal criminal cases for the past several years. She is an extremely articulate and tenacious attorney, but also possesses the poise to know how to deal with even difficult prosecutors, a balance that explains how she gets such great results for our clients."
"I endorse this lawyer. Summer's persistence and intellect consistently result in great dispositions for her clients."
