By far the best law firm around! Everyone is extremely caring and attentive. Ashley is an incredible lawyer. She has been there for me every step of this journey and has gone above and beyond every expectation. This is a phenomenal group of experienced individuals ready to help defend you. I highly recommend.
Ashley is very attentive and caring. Don’t let that fool you as she is also very firm and hard working when it comes to you and your case.
When I retired I decided it was time to update my will. Ashley Hudson-Scott and her paralegal Kristy Dryden helped me get all my affairs in order for myself and my family. The experience left me feeling secure and prepared for whatever the future may bring.
