Children's Advocate

The firm represents children and their families when there has been abuse by teachers, aids, schools, or other providers. Ashley negotiates for money to care for injuries and to reimburse families for tuition/costs, advocates for improvements to procedures, and takes claims to court.

Ashley has a background in education and has practiced law for almost twenty years. This unique combination enables her to navigate school systems (public and private) to reach out-of-court settlements. When needed, she aggressively and effectively pursues these claims in court.

Divorce

Ashley's approach is efficient and effective. Her clients are empowered to streamline the expensive, time-consuming divorce process and move forward with their lives.

She provides clear explanations of the law and gives candid, thoughtful advice. Her clients are empowered to identify their best options and to get outcomes that support their goals.

Divorces involve important decisions with significant consequences. Ashley deftly creates leverage, finds common ground, and reaches productive agreements for her clients. When needed, she uses her litigation skills to effectively bring issues – or entire divorces – to court.
