Ashley was incredible! Really appreciate you guys for helping me fight the system I had never experienced and support you gave me. Highly recommend them for anybody out there looking for a lawyer that you can actually trust to do what they say at a reasonable price! Thanks so much Ashley!!

Ashley represented me in a battery hearing and we had the case dismissed in large part due to her keeping a very level and clear approach in court, her effective and direct questioning of the witnesses involved, and her ability to keep the proceedings on-track in spite of the attempts by the alleging party to go off-topic. I was very nervous to go into this kind of proceeding, but Ashley's confidence and poise really helped me feel well-represented and assured. These kinds of things are difficult for anyone to go through, but having representation like I received from Ashley is invaluable, and I'm extremely grateful. I will be personally recommending her for anyone who would need such representation, because I know it will be professional and considerate.

I have worked with attorney offices for over 15 years with the enemy (ins Co) and this was my first time dealing with an attorney on a personal basis. I have been not only impressed with her knowledge but also with regards with her keeping me informed at every step of the way.

I highly recommend Ashley for the qualities stated in the subject line. I hired her from 2014-2016 to represent my backlogged case in Fulton County. She was knowledgeable on the process, strategic, knew the players, kept me informed over the long waiting period, and resolved my case with a great outcome. Do yourself a favor and hire a law lady.

Ashley was there with me from day one and told me the process we would go though to have my case dismissed and expunged. She was always a text away and responded aptly. I felt confident having her as my attorney and knew she would deliver. She got the job done efficiently. Would highly recommend her! First and only attorney I needed to call.

2015 Nov I was put in a situation where a underage female lied about her age on a dating site. I was charged with Stat Rape. Needless to say Mrs. MacMahon was my attorney and represented me better than I could have ever imagined. Mrs. MacMahan fought hard to get all of my charges dismissed and also put me on a payment plan that was within my budget. She's truly a blessing!!!!! Thanks to her I have my life back!

Once I turned my case over to Ashley I felt relieved and confident in her ability to bring the issue to a fair conclusion. Not only have I retained Ashley but I have consulted with her on other matters as well. She is well versed in her craft with respect and admiration among her peers and clients.

I was referred to Ashley through a good friend and it was the right choice. From day one she has been attentive and responds quickly to any needs. I have never dealt with anyone more professional. Plus Ashley is genuinely a good and nice person, covering all avenues to get the best results available. A pleasure to work with 100%.

Words cannot begin to express how much I appreciate Ashley McMahon. From the moment she was recommended to me, she assured me that it would be her top priority to make sure I was taken care of. She was very calm, cool and collective throughout the entire process. Her professionalism made me feel very safe and secure with my decision. She discussed the entire process and listened to all of my concerns. She guided me all along the way, never once leaving any doubt that I wouldn’t be in the best of care. Thanks to her knowledge and expertise, my case was dismissed at the motions hearing. Hiring Ashley McMahon to represent me was THE SINGLE BEST DECISION I have ever made in my life! Thanks to her, I still have one to be thankful for. Thank you again for everything Ashley, you are truly the BEST!

This was the very first time I ever needed to hire a lawyer, especially one in criminal defense. I was unsure and very nervous. The moment I first spoke with Ashley, I knew I had found the right person. She was extremely professional and easy to communicate with. She was knowledgeable and reassuring. Ashley walked me through a process I was very unfamiliar with and made each step clear. I highly recommend hiring Ashley; you can be sure you have an attorney that is on your side and will work tirelessly to win your case.
