About Ashley

Learn Ashley’s areas of practice.

As a divorced mother with two young children, Ashley relates to her clients on a deeply personal level. Her goal is to empower her clients to confront the issues at hand, regardless of how difficult or unpleasant, with their future best interests in mind. She strives to avoid conflict with the opposing party as much as possible, but focuses on preparing cases for the best outcome, if the need for litigation arises.

“I want to ensure that my clients have no regrets; that they get what they’re entitled to and what they deserve. The divorce process can be overwhelming and emotionally draining. However, the results of the divorce process will impact my clients’ lives indefinitely, sometimes long after they have healed emotionally. Therefore, it’s imperative that we pay attention to every detail to guarantee the best results, as they enter this new chapter of life.”

Drawing from practical experience, Ashley devises parenting plans that consider each family’s specific dynamics, while providing structure and stability for the children. She is particularly knowledgeable in negotiating parenting plans involving children with special medical, educational, and emotional needs.

Additionally, Ashley has an advanced legal degree in tax law and prior experience in accounting. This knowledge allows her to excel in resolving high net worth property division cases involving closely-held businesses, stock options and complex real estate. She understands the importance of communicating complicated financial matters in a simplified format that the court can understand and prides herself on her attention to detail.

When she is not refereeing arguments between her young son and daughter, Ashley enjoys yoga, photography, and cheering on her beloved Washington Huskies.

Great communication
Ashley was my attorney from the beginning and through mediation at her previous firm Amaya Family law; she was always very responsive to all of my questions and was an advocate for the things that were most important to me and my children. She eased my mind when things became tense and able to cut through the noise and bring the facts to light. I would highly recommend her to represent a family member or friend.

Ashley Raymond
I was referred to Ashley when I started my divorce proceedings. Ashley was always extremely professional as well as her entire team. Dealing with an ex that had some pretty severe mental health issues, Ashley and her team helped me gain full custody of my 3 minor children. There was a guardian Ad litem, psychiatrist and WA family services involved and my case lasted almost 2 years. Ashley never wavered and was there to support me and my children through the entire process. I would highly recommend her or use her in the future if needed again.

A challenging case with a good outcome
Both my lawyer and the neutral mediator described my now ex-wife as "challenging." I was supported the whole way, and we ended up where we needed to be. Grateful for the calm, wise counsel I received along the way from Ashley and her team at Dellino Law.

Divorce Case
I hired Ashley Raymond after I was served divorce papers from my wife of 20 yrs. I can't find enough words to express how much I appreciate all that she did for me. My wife took me to court 3 times during the initial stages of separation for frivolous charges / lawsuits as well as an attempt to get all of my monthly income, and Ashley was victorious in all court appearances, as well as getting my monthly spousal support payments reduced to a reasonable amount. Then after going back and forth for some time, Ashley prepared divorce papers that my wife agreed to sign, saving me a lot more time and money by not having to go through arbitration or settling in court. If you need a good attorney that will have your back, and provide you with the best support and guidance through any unfortunate family issues, then I would highly recommend Ashley Raymond to anyone in need of good legal representation. Thank You Ashley!! :)

Thank you for representing me
I hired Ashley to represent me in a difficult divorce case. This was my first experience with an attorney and I could not have been more impressed. She always clearly laid out my options and made sure I was fully informed of the pros and cons of each decision. I also appreciated that she continuously communicated how certain actions would impact my fees, as she was trying to keep my attorney fees as low as possible. I found her to have the perfect balance of assertiveness, logic, and compassion. In the end, she was able to resolve my case without the need for formal mediation or trial. I also found her team to be super responsive and helpful. Thank you, Ashley!

Well Executed
Hired Ashley for a prenup and she turned it around on a tight timeline and brought it in under budget. Knowledgeable on the relevant law and gave capable advice regarding what provisions would or would not be enforceable in Washington courts. Would recommend to anyone looking for something similar.

Excellent Attorney!!
No one gets married expecting it to end. Ashley absolutely "gets it" and walked me through the process with kindness and compassion. Her knowledge of the law, combined with fierce determination, allowed my divorce to proceed quickly and allowed things to move along amicably. I would highly recommend her to my closest friends and family members who need legal help for family matters.

Thank you Ashley
Ashley worked hard to get an exceptional parenting plan and final orders worked out. Ashley became my representation during a period of great strife with my ex, and we couldn't have a civilized conversation about anything. She presented solutions that enabled me to feel secure in the fact that the final orders and parenting plan addressed my child's needs, and secure in the fact that that my concerns had also been addressed.

Ashley is an asset to your case
I hired Ashley to assist in a very complicated divorce involving domestic abuse and child custody. She is very communicative, responsive, and thorough. I am confident she did everything protect me and represent me throughout my divorce and custody case. She is also emotionally supportive, and a delight to work with. You should definitely hire her for your legal matter.

Ashley is the BEST divorce lawyer!
Hope to never have to utilize her services (ha!) again but highly recommend Ashley to friends and family. She’s super sharp, responsive, and makes a very stressful multi-step situation easy to complete. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome and trust her completely. You are in excellent care with her for your legal needs and wish you the best of luck!

An excellent experience
I contacted Ashley to discuss legal needs stemming from a divorce and we both quickly realized that she would not be able to represent me because the original proceedings had occurred in WI and not WA. Despite that, she took her time to help refer me to someone else and gave what advice she could as far as how to proceed. She was extremely helpful at a time and situation where she absolutely did not have to be.

Excellent response time and service
The fact that you need an attorney is not a happy or fun day. Ashley and her team made it has painless as possible. Ashley was very response to my emails in a timely manner and some times even outside of working hours. Ashley gave me a clear understanding of the laws and my oppositions. Through our collaboration I found someone that was extremely thoughtful, understanding and very trustworthy. Thank you

Child Support and custody
Ashley was very helpful in explaining my options for fighting against a modification in my child support and possibly fighting for custody of my son. Ashley threw out some options and then told me what she would recommend. Even though, it wasn't what I wanted to hear it is the best course for my circumstances. Because of Ashley's explanations and upfront approach I feel I have made the best choice. I will hire Ashley if I choose to fight in court but at this time I will see how things roll from here.
