Great experience w/Ashley & Nicole at Speaks Family Law. They were always professional, responsive & prepared! Highly recommended.

I had a minor traffic incident and Ashley Smith went above and beyond by coordinating efforts between myself, the insurance company and the courts. A true pleasure to work with!

I didn’t know where to start or what to do. Speaks Law made this such an easy process for me. They handled everything and were quick to respond any time I had a question.

Ashley Smith is an exceptional Family Law Attorney. Ashley was empathetic and compassionate throughout the separation process and divorce proceedings. I felt extremely confident in sharing personal information during a difficult time. Her professionalism and time management were executed at the highest level. I highly recommend her publicly as I have already personally to friends and colleagues.

Ashley and Nicole are great to work with and very easy to talk to. They both were always willing to accommodate my needs and worked hard to help resolve issues.

Ashley Smith and her paralegal, Nicole, did an outstanding job of representing me in my divorce. Everything had to be rushed due to a home purchase qualification, and they went out of their way to get things accomplished in a timely fashion. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this firm for any of your legal needs. They are both professional and caring, as well as a blessing to our community.

A big thank you to the lovely ladies at Speaks Law Firm for everything from beginning to end. They were very professional and made sure I was well imformed and comfortable with my case!!!

Ashley and her paralegal, Nicole, have been nothing short of amazing throughout my divorce process. Ashley has listened and helped me get what I needed out of a difficult and stressful situation. She was not pushy in her strategy, but instead, offered her opinions and options for proceeding in the case. Although I decided to complete a consent order instead of pushing for court, I would 100% trust her to get me what I need if it came to that. I also commend Ashley and Nicole for being so available and great at returning phone calls and emails in a very timely manner. It means so much to know that you have people in your corner to help you through the difficult situations that divorce brings.

Ashley and Nicole, thank you for your commitment to your clients and your hard work ethic!

I would like to start with , what a wonderful, kind and helpful gentleman Garron Michael has been. He has helped my family in a couple of issues and it has taken so much worry and stress off me. I work long hours and it is very hard to take time to get things done w/o losing time and money. Mr. Michael has been there and I am so grateful for his services. He was and is a very understanding and patient person to whom helped me in my time of need.Thank you again for your kindness. Sincerely, Debbie Wescott

Ashley and Nicole were FABULOUS. They were very professional and caring. Communication was wonderful and I always felt like I knew what was going on in my case and what the next steps were. In the end I got everything I wanted in my custody battle, it is so refreshing to have someone work so hard for a father's rights for custody. I don't believe 5 stars are enough for them. Thank you for everything you have done for me and my son.

Attorney Ashley Smith and Paralegal Nicole Fellows are excellent. They were knowledgeable, extremely responsive and capable, and they made a difficult situation much easier for me. I highly recommend Attorney Smith and her team.

Delightful professionals. Always return calls. Although Ashley Smith and her assistant, Nicole were both easy to work with making the litigation process that much less painful.

Ashley and Nicole have been so helpful during the process of going to trial. They are easy to get in touch with and very responsive.

Ashley and Nicole are hands down the best I could of asked for. My case with my ex husband was a complete whirlwind but Ashley and Nicole walked me through every step of the way. I never felt like I was being taken advantage of, I knew I was in great hands the entire time. If ever I need legal actions again without a doubt I will be calling Ashley and Nicole!

Currently a client of the firm and Ashley Smith is my lawyer. So far I can not review on her as I am just starting my custody case. I am from NY and my kids are in NC and I am traveling back and forth.

Ashley’s expertise & compassion are the best!! If you want someone who really cares Ashley, Nicole & staff are amazing... I would highly recommend this firm. Thank you again for all your hard work & dedication!

I worked with Ashley Smith and Nicole Fellows on finishing my divorce, child custody, & equitable distribution of our marital home in Charlotte, NC. Both women were supportive, extremely knowledgeable, and compassionate as they guided me through this process. My previous lawyer had created a mess with my case, but Ashley and Nicole both worked hard to get everything back on the right track, helped me move the location of my case to New Hanover County, and as of yesterday morning, we were successful in all three areas, closing out a 5 year battle against my ex husband. I could never express how grateful I am to these two women. As a mother, there is no price that could be placed on having the peace of mind I felt yesterday for the very first time in years. I would highly recommend this team to anyone going through a divorce or custody experience. It’s unfortunate when a marriage dissolves, even more so when children are involved. But I am so thankful to have had such an amazing, knowledge, and confident lawyer to help me get through this process. To anyone getting a divorce, choosing the right lawyer will save you thousands of dollars, countless hours wasted with worrying, sleepless nights, and a fortune in mental healthcare. You do need a lawyer, not matter what. And I highly recommend Ashley Smith. Thank you again!

The level of service I have received from the team at Speaks Family Law is unparalleled. They stay on top of all the interact details in Family Law. The straight forward approach to litigating by presenting the facts and only the facts is refreshing. Thank you to Ashley Smith and Nicole Fellows for treating us like family during this trial.

Ashley and Nicole are the best team ever!!!! Don't call anyone else if you need a marital attorney!!!!

My daughter got a divorce and Ashley was her attorney. We met with her and Nicole several times and they did a great job of explaining what could happen and what to do. In the end everything came out well. It takes a very long time to go through with a divorce so it is good if you have someone to talk to about all the things that have to be covered.

The law firm is extremely response and super helpful. Nicole Fellows is by far the best paralegal I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. Attorney Ashley is amazing and one of the best attorneys in the Carolinas.

Ashley and Nicole are amazing. Great experience overall. I was very pleased with our outcome and very prompt on responding!

Would recommend Attorney Ashley Smith to anyone needing a family law attorney. She’s so patient and kind and responds to any questions you may have regarding your case, super quick, whether it’s by email or phone call. She is so good at what she does, she had my case wrapped up just the way I wanted, in a matter of weeks! I can’t possibly thank her and Speaks law firm for the peace of mind that they’ve given me.
