Ashley was very patient with us during a high stress situation. She is extremely detail oriented which was a huge necessity for this time sensitive matter. Her ability to be professional all the while being empathetic to our situation. I would highly recommend Ashley.

Ms. Smith has helped me and my husband with a family law case twice now and has been excellent both times. She is very communicative about your case while still valuing your time and finances. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a family law attorney. She is compassionate and truly cares about her clients and the difficult situations they are going through.

I was having troubles with child custody issues with my ex. Ashley had outstanding advice and was very prompt and honest with her answers and advice. No one likes or wants to face these issues, but having someone like Ashley on your side makes them so much more tolerable. I highly recommend her to anyone facing a difficult situation like child custody.

During a time of loss and turmoil, Ashley knows how to be there. I needed someone to advocate for me and to listen to me. I was in an abusive relationship and she believed me, supported me, and won for me. Ashley Smith changed my life. I wouldn’t be free from my hall with out her. She was professional and treated me with grace during a vulnerable time. Highly recommend this amazing lawyer!
