Divorce Is Hard. How You Navigate It Matters.
I HELP PEOPLE MOVE THROUGH DIVORCE—WHETHER MEDIATED, COLLABORATIVE, OR LITIGATED—WITH CLARITY, COURAGE, AND A FOCUS ON WHAT COMES NEXT.
There’s no one-size-fits-all divorce. Some couples reach resolution through mediation, either mediated by Ashley Andrews or with Ashley Andrews as a consulting attorney in mediation; others require firm legal advocacy in court. With nearly 30 years of experience, Ashley meets each case with compassion, strategic thinking, and a deep commitment to your long-term well-being. Whether you're seeking peace at the table or strength in the courtroom, Ashley will guide you through this process with honesty, empathy, and relentless preparation.
A Different Kind of Divorce
CLARITY. RESPECT. STABILITY—FOR TODAY AND THE FUTURE.
A Better Divorce Starts with a Better Approach
Divorce doesn’t have to mean chaos or conflict. My approach is built on open communication, emotional intelligence, and strategic clarity—so you can move forward with less stress and more control. Whether we’re sitting down at the mediation or collaborative table in person or virtually or preparing for court, I focus on creating outcomes that are not only legally sound but emotionally sustainable. Because the way your divorce is handled today will shape your life tomorrow.

WHEN YOU WANT TO STAY OUT OF COURT, BUT STILL BE HEARD
Mediation allows divorcing couples to resolve their differences with the support of a neutral facilitator. It’s a smart, cost-effective option for those who want to maintain control of the process while reducing conflict. Ashley guides clients through mediation with clear communication, practical strategy, and a strong focus on sustainable outcomes that spouses can live with, especially when children or pets are involved. Ashley can serve as the mediator for both spouses or as a consulting attorney in mediation, either outside of the mediation room or in it.

WHEN YOU WANT A CONFIDENTIAL PROCESS WHERE NEITHER SIDE CAN THREATEN LITIGATION TO GAIN AN ADVANTAGE.
Collaborative divorce is a very unique process where each side retains a collaborative attorney. The process is confidential, like mediation, but each side has an aligned attorney participating in the meetings and available to give advice. The attorneys and all professionals involved in the collaborative divorce sign disqualification agreements that prohibit them from working with either spouse should they leave the collaborative divorce process. Collaborative family law attorneys are generally very experienced, highly trained, and dedicated to helping spouses resolve their family law issues outside of Court; further, most are members of active practice groups. Ashley is a board member of CP Cal, the largest collaborative practice organization in California.

My divorce began as a custody battle. I tried to negotiate the matter on my own, but after eight months of getting nowhere I was referred to Ashley Andrews. I am so glad I made the decision to hire her to handle this matter for me.

Ashley's assistant booked my appt. quickly, within 3 days of me calling. Set up an appt. for a Saturday, which was nice. Ashley was prompt and very cordial and professional. I felt at ease with her and we were really both on the same page through the entire discussion. I would recommend Ashley to anyone in my family or my friends, going through the same life changing event that I am.

We faced a change of circumstances and contacted Ashley for a consultation. She reviewed a complex prenuptial/partnership situation, completed the initial research thoroughly and quickly, and provided us with a range of options on how to proceed. She was caring and took time to explain details carefully, ensuring that we understood the implications. I highly recommend Ashley if you want an attorney who takes the time necessary to make sure you understand nuances, and who also ensures that your best interests are her top priority.
