Ashley graduated from Nashville School of Law in the Spring of 2008 and was one of two students selected from her graduating class to receive the Moot Court Award for Outstanding Presentation in the Courtroom.
After graduation, Ashley intended to focus her practice in commercial real estate and banking. However, just eight days prior to receiving Tennessee Bar Examination results, the stock market crashed. Immediately, Ashley began her legal career, not in extending loans as she had hoped, but in foreclosures, tax sales, forbearances, family law, general litigation, probate, business formation and estate planning. While it was not planned, working in a variety of areas of the law became quite beneficial for Ashley as it related to analyzing and solving complex title issues.
Eventually, the market settled and Ashley was able to represent lenders and real estate agents in a variety of commercial real estate transactions such as apartment complexes, restaurants, hotels, gas stations and shopping centers but she continued in her general practice as well.
Today, Ashley manages, and with her partners, owns Music City Title & Escrow, Inc. and serves as Of Counsel for the Law Offices of Joshua Offutt, PC.
