I see my job as a lawyer as helping people find solutions to their problems. This means spending time listening to my clients to find out what their goals, fears, and hopes are, and then working with them to try and find out how we can best achieve their objectives.. My practice is focused on working with clients who are seeking to resolve their issues outside of court. For me, Collaborative Law is a way to help people end their marriage in a reasonable and adult way that will allow them to look back on their divorce as a time of positive growth. Collaborative principles allow this to happen in a safe and respectful environment.. One benefit of resolving things outside of court is preservation of existing relationships. A therapist I know put it very well when she said that in a divorce, we end the relationship of husband/wife, but the relationships of mother/father/children continue. It is those relationships of father/mother/children that need to be protected to the extent possible even when the family is no longer going to be living together in a single home.. A second benefit is self-determination. A resolution that the parties create for themselves with professional assistance, and that they therefore truly believe in, will be far more durable, far more satisfying, and far more tailored to their specific concerns and circumstances than a resolution imposed by a court, or even a resolution negotiated between two attorneys.

Ashley is passionate about the law and enjoys thinking outside of the box to help her clients resolve their case. Ashley believes in settling a case if possible so that both parties can move on with their lives as painlessly as possible. However, if settlement is not possible then she is more than happy to go to court to fight for her client.

As a family law attorney, much of my work is with people going through a divorce, or otherwise seeking help with ending a relationship.  I try to assist my divorce clients with an eye towards sustainability and long-term wellbeing.  In other words: I want to help you figure out not only how to bring one chapter of your life to a close, but how to begin the next one.. In addition to my divorce practice, I am interested in working with individuals and families in the early stages of relationships.  There is a lot of space for creative and intentional work in constructing and defining family structures going in.  Everyone’s family is different, and I am a big believer in broad and inclusive interpretations of what family means.  Many of us identify strongly with the notion of investing in a family of choice, and I want to support that in any way I can.. Regardless of why you come to see me, I will listen without judgment to where you’ve been, what you’ve done, and how you’d like things to go.   I will be honest with you about what I think is possible, what I think is likely, and what I think is wise.  I will strive to understand your needs.  Most importantly, I will do my utmost to work with you and think creatively about how we can move you from wherever you are now to wherever you want to be.
