Most competent attorney in practice

I retained Ashley to negotiate several particularly complex transactions. I am an attorney myself and, unfortunately for Ashley, badgered her frequently over the course of the year that we worked together. In every instance, she made time for my business partners and me as though we were her only c...lients. Ashley is truly genius-- always poised and professional and, ethically, second to none. I have already referred two colleagues to Ashley both of whom were equally thrilled with her work.

Ashley West

Ashley West has become an integral component of our company's foundation. Ms. West is a resource that is invaluable to our executive team. We are in a highly competitive market and Ashley keeps our focus on target; not wavering from our overall mission. Most important, Ms. West helped set up our corp...oration ensuring that things were done right. In addition, Ashley makes sure that all annual statements, minutes, and notes are memorialized. Moreover, Ashley West is a sounding board for opportunities, perceived or actual. Ashley helps the decision makers of this company not waste time by comprehending the legal and practical issues concerning all business opportunities. I highly recommend Ashley West.

Great attorney

"Ashley is one of the few attorneys in town who does not overcharge her clients. She is bright and fun to work with. She incorporated our business for us and took the time to walk through both legal and non-legal issues we should consider. I will use her again."

Top Tier Sacramento Lawyer

Ashley brings more than professionalism to her legal practice. She brings a forceful will, deep legal knowledge, wit, passion, wisdom, personality and, overall, a genuine concern for her clients. Over the past couple of years Ashley has been a huge part of growing my business; everything from the mo...st technical legal work to complex and strategic projects. One of the most impressive things about Ashley is her deep connection to the causes she supports. She is a leader in her field and a leader in her community.
