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.
Ashley and I attended Georgia Tech together and were both members of Phi Alpha Delta, Pre-Law Fraternity. Ashley served as President of the fraternity. Upon Ashley's graduation, I took over her position. Thanks to Ashley's training and organization, the transition was fluid. Ashley demonstrated great leadership skills and the ability to plan and coordinate under pressure. Ashley is also a great communicator and a hard worker. I highly recommend Ashley.
Ashley was a great intern for GLA. She was thorough in her legal research and writing assignments, passionate about our non-profit mission, and hands-on with our client populations. She needed very little direction once she was given an assignment and the end product was well-thought out and on-point. She was a joy to have in the office.
Ashley and I were teammates on GSU's Semi-Finalist William Daniel Mock Trial team in 2009 where she won best all-around advocate. As president of the Student Trial Lawyers Association (STLA) I have seen many student attorneys in competition and very few have the same poise and command of a courtroom as Ashley. In the courtroom, Ashley is extremely comfortable delivering a compelling opening statement or closing argument to a jury. She responds well on her feet to opposing counsel and has enough experience that she can handle the unexpected and impeach a witness on cross with ease. Above all, Ashley is very easy to work with. Unlike some Georgia Tech grads, she is not awkward or introverted and works well in a team. I highly recommend Ashley to any firm looking for an excellent litigator.
Ashley is one of my classmates from law school that I have the highest respect for. Regarded as one of the top two students in our class as a future trial lawyer, Ashley's successes with GSU's Student Trial Lawyer's Association competing in Mock Trial competitions was widely known on campus. I also served on the Student Bar Association with Ashley during our third year. Despite the massive time commitment of competing in both semesters during third year with STLA and the incredible time commitment of a full course load, Ashley was always a dependable and productive member of the SBA and was able to successfully manage an extremely busy schedule. Not only is Ashley extremely intelligent, she has a sharp wit, a great sense of humor, and is humble despite her incredible talents; all of which make her enjoyable to both work and socialize with. Ashley is fearless and unflappable in a courtroom and a great person to work with. -David B. Purvis
I had the fortunate experience to serve as Ashley's trial partner in two separate trial competitions during law school. She demonstrated an acute sense of intuition and a keen ability to focus on the details of the case without losing sight of the big picture. She is extremely sharp, articulate and charming. She exudes a confidence in the courtroom that puts the opposing side on notice that she is impossible to fluster. The hard work and dedication she put into trial preparation is almost as commendable as her stellar performances. Without hesitation, I give Ashley my highest recommendation.
