Collaborative Divorce Attorney | Ashley Michael

Ashley Michael

In a state with more than 35,000 licensed attorneys, Ashley Michael is proud to be one of the few who is a Board Certified Family Law Specialist. Ashley has over a decade of legal experience in the areas of Adoption, Juvenile Law, Legal Mediation, Collaborative Divorce, and Divorce Litigation. She is also a certified Parenting Coordinator and is able to act as a quasi-judicial officer for parents in high-conflict custody dispute cases.

While she is a trained litigator, Ashley also believes in educating her clients about alternative dispute resolution, mediation, and collaborative dispute resolution options to empower clients with legal approaches that will serve them best. To further support alternatives to traditional litigation, Ashley has founded two nonprofits: (1) Coastal Collaborative Colleagues, the only collaborative law practice group in Southeastern North Carolina, and (2) the North Carolina Collaborative Attorney Network, the only statewide practice group supporting collaborative divorce attorneys. She currently serves as an active board member for both organizations.
