Meet Ashli

Having been around for her own parents’ divorce, Ashli understands uniquely the circumstances involved in family law cases, and brings the necessary experience, empathy, and understanding to her practice.

A lifelong Virginian, Ashli joined our team after practicing with Crook & Pack, a general litigation firm located in Smithfield, Virginia. Ashli brings to the firm a great deal of experience in Suffolk, Smithfield, Isle of Wight, Newport News, Hampton, and York County. Having grown up in Suffolk and spent the majority of her post-law school life living in Smithfield, she has a familiarity with the courts and the judges in that area that can’t be beat.

Ashli received her undergraduate education at East Carolina University, and attended law school at Widener College of Law in Delaware. At the time, she says she was hoping to eventually practice corporate law, but then realized she absolutely hated it! She returned back home after law school, to the practice where she originally worked as a paralegal and discovered her love of family law cases—divorce, custody, protective orders, adoptions, and more.

Ashli married her high school sweetheart, Brian, a lifelong Smithfield native. Brian is a co-owner of Smithfield Station, the Surry Seafood Company, and 37 North, which is currently in development on Fort Monroe.

Together, Ashli and Brian have two kids, Turner and Lucy, and two Labrador retrievers, Lucky (called, for whatever reason, Bobo), and Wilbur. Ashli jokes that, at this point, her hobbies are actually her kids’ hobbies. Lucy, a preteen, is super crafty and loves her Cricut. Turner, on the other hand, is an athlete who loves baseball, basketball, and football.

For her part, Ashli loves the outdoors, but especially boating, paddleboarding, the beach and skiing, her newest interest.
Ashli spends much of her time managing her active family, and you’re likely to find her shuttling kids from t-ball to soccer and piano lessons. Ashli also loves sushi, skiing, Commanders football, and beating her husband in cornhole tournaments.

Though we can’t guarantee results, and every case is different, we’ve had some pretty happy clients over the years!

Ashli helped me see that I am done!

Ashli was just really attentive and got my brain considering options I hadn’t before. Now I’m not going to wait two years.

I was planning on waiting 2 years to get out of this horrible”marriage,” turns out I’m done now. I highly recommend this firm.
