How does a lawyer start their own law firm? In this episode, I talk with Ashley Andrews, who runs her own successful Family Law practice in Southern California. She shares how she broke out of the massive law firm mold and created her own firm. Ashley is a sophisticated, highly ethical, and tenacious lawyer who built a team to focus on her clients and their very personal and sensitive family legal issues. She’s top dog in the area of divorce, child custody, property division, paternity law and is consistently awarded recognition by Pasadena Magazine as a top attorney and was designated a Super Lawyer. She’s wicked smart and as tough as they come.
