I represent client with any legal problem related to family law, domestic violence, same-sex relationship dissolution, pre and post marital agreements, child custody, adoption, support, complex property and debt division and all associated matters. I also handle mediated and collaborative dissolutions.
I am a Certified Family Law Specialist and have focused solely on family law issues since 2005, when I was admitted to the California bar.
My family law practice is focused on strategizing practical solutions for each client, embracing the ideology every client is unique and benefits from a thoughtful approach to resolving their particular issues.
I believe in empowering clients with knowledge and am an excellent communicator and listener. I am particularly attuned to the emotional aspects of family law issues and the necessity for ongoing and active communication to ensure that client’s needs and objectives are met. I excel at rapport-building both with clientele and with opposing parties or attorneys, focusing on crafting workable solutions.
I have completed a 40 hour mediation certification program and attempt to resolve matters outside of court and/ or prior to trial whenever possible, I am also a successful advocate in adversarial proceedings and vehemently promote my clients' interests through litigation when necessary.

"I have worked with Ashley as the opposing counsel in a case. She is thoughtful and willing to work with all parties to reach a fair and equitable settlement and is not one of those attorneys who will push for further "bleeding" emotionally or financially. I endorse this attorney."
