Favorite Book: All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr

Ashley represents individuals and businesses in complex litigation, providing clear judgment and steady guidance. Whether evaluating risk before a dispute escalates or guiding clients through trial, she focuses on understanding their priorities, then develops strategies designed to achieve the best possible outcome.

Ashley handles litigation matters in state and federal courts across a range of areas, including business torts, breach of contract disputes, real estate litigation, products liability, and professional liability defense. Her practice includes drafting and arguing motions, managing complex discovery, and taking and defending depositions. She also works closely with expert witnesses, preparing them for final reports and testimony, and regularly assists clients through settlement negotiations, mediations, and federal settlement conferences.

What sets Ashley apart is her ability to translate complexity into clarity. She brings a disciplined, analytical approach to every case: assessing risk, developing strategy, and explaining technical issues in plain language. Her focus is on positioning her clients for success, combining thorough preparation with strategic thinking.

Outside the office, Ashley can be found reading, running, and exploring Richmond's manyoutdoor spaces and restaurants. She's also an avid fan of Georgetown basketball and Penn State football.
