Raised in Detroit and a proud graduate of the University of Detroit Mercy, Ashley brings a grounded, client-first approach to the legal sector.

Core Responsibilities at Pascaris Law Firm

As a central pillar of our daily office operations on the Farmington Hills and West Bloomfield border, Ashley manages several critical stages of the client journey:

• First-Contact Client Concierge: Ashley answers the majority of incoming phone calls for the firm. She serves as the welcoming voice and primary point of contact for individuals experiencing the stress of a recent family passing or those looking to proactively establish asset protection. She handles initial client intake, schedules consultations, and gathers foundational details with patience and confidentiality.

• Estate Planning Document Witness: A vital step in creating a legally binding estate plan under Michigan law is the formal signing ceremony. Ashley regularly serves as an official independent witness for our clients' estate planning documents. Her presence during the execution of wills, revocable trusts, and durable powers of attorney guarantees that signing formalities are strictly adhered to, protecting the future validity of the estate against potential disputes.

• Probate Court & Trust Administration Support: Ashley assists in preparing sensitive probate petitions, organizing asset inventories, and coordinating administrative tasks. Her systemic follow-up keeps court timelines on track and ensures that executors, administrators, and trustees receive timely updates regarding their pending legal matters.

Life and Passions Outside the Office

The same incredible stamina, long-term patience, and meticulous focus that Ashley brings to our legal administrative workflows carry directly over into her personal life and athletic pursuits. Outside of the office, she is an avid marathon runner. Training for and competing in long-distance marathons requires immense discipline and mental fortitude—traits that serve her well when managing complex legal files and supporting families through challenging probate transitions.

When she isn't putting miles on local Michigan running trails or training for her next big race, Ashley channels her structured creativity into hands-on home renovation projects, enjoying the process of transforming spaces from the ground up. She is also a passionate home cook who loves experimenting with new recipes and flavor profiles in the kitchen. On the weekends, Ashley can usually be found staying active outdoors and chasing after her energetic mini Goldendoodle, who keeps her happily busy and smiling.
