No matter what you have going on little or big and need legal help, you have to go to Ashley and her team. I have seen and been to others in this area and her and her team are the best. Ashley and her team make you their priority even though they have multiple cases in multiple areas. This may be their job but the biggest difference between them and others is this is their passion. They are there for you. They want to help you. They want to watch you succeed. Ashley and Kristy put their all in everything they do. It may be just a simple phone call but they are always there always supportive and always have you as their number one. Thank you so much for fighting for me and helping me and bringing my life back to a completely whole again. It is because of this office and this team that I can be the father I want to be and help my kids. Thank you.

Ashely has been and still is my lawyer. As a client I know for a fact that she is the best lawyer ever. Ashley has stayed on top of my case and made sure that I understood everything that was going on in divorce and custody case. She is even awesome about not overcharging me. I would recommend her to anyone that needs a lawyer she knows her stuff and gets down to work when it comes time. She has always answered or returned my calls immediately and made it a point to make sure that everything works out in the best interest for me and my child.

My experience with Ashley as my lawyer was a varied one. At first, everything was as expected. She was courteous and genuinely seemed to care about my predicament and getting me what I wanted, which was visitation or some kind of custody of my daughter. This, she did in the form of an agreement which we haven't agreed on with the other party as of now.She wrote an agreement for us and it included 90% of what I expected to receive so I had no arguments there. The bad came when I would ask for the invoice stating how much I had paid and how much money was left in my escrow account for her to borrow from. From July 2015 to late January 2016 I heard no word on the amount of money she had used even though I asked multiple times. She also assured me not to worry and that she would let me know as soon as I was close to reaching my cap so we could discuss options. This never happened. After being fed up with such a lengthy process, I hinted at dropping Ashley as it seemed she was no longer working for me to provide a service and instead was doing her bare minimum to keep up with my case. I'm a fair guy, I understand all about having a workload. This was something else entirely. The worst part of my entire experience was when I hinted at letting Ashley go as my lawyer and receiving the invoice in how much she had spent the very next day. The very next day. Whether a coincidence or perfect timing, I really could care less. What a ridiculous thing to do to a client who has already paid you a good sum of money. That was bad. The fact that we had met my cap of 3000$ and went over by 500$ without hearing any word at all, that's what really did it to me. I'm not out to get anyone with this post, I'm out to inform about my experience in hopes she doesn't do this to another client. I dropped her as my lawyer and will move on to alternatives who will hopefully be much more productive and punctual within reason.
