Biography
Ashley has spent most of her 20-plus years as an attorney handling and resolving all aspects of family law matters from inception through trial and post-judgment, including litigating high-conflict custody, complicated property, and support issues, as well as resolving cases through mediation and alternative dispute resolution. Ashley also advises families and drafts prenuptial and postnuptial agreements. Ashley is experienced in complex interstate and international cases involving child custody and child support, which have become more prevalent in the past two-plus years as changes in the traditional workplace model have allowed families to be more mobile geographically.
Ashley serves as a member of the board of directors of Bet Tzedek, one of the most highly regarded pro bono legal services agencies in California. She has been included in the well-known Super Lawyers publication since 2021. Ashley is a skilled speaker on matrimonial matters and has participated as a panelist in programs held by the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers and the Los Angeles County Bar Association.
Ashley is committed to providing her clients with exceptional legal representation through strong legal advocacy, while also understanding the practical aspects attendant to all family law cases that should be considered in the ultimate resolution.
