Ashley L. Neese

Competent handling of a complex estate dispute

I engaged Ashley Neese at Dominick Feld Hyde PC to represent me in a contentious dispute over my late father's trust. The situation involved multiple siblings and unclear provisions, which quickly escalated. Ashley's deep knowledge in Trusts and Estates litigation was evident from the start. Her 20 years of experience and the recognition she's received from Best Lawyers in this specific field gave me confidence. She understood the nuances of Alabama law and crafted a solid legal strategy that ultimately protected my interests. However, the process felt somewhat transactional. Communication, while professional, wasn't as proactive as I'd hoped; I often had to follow up for updates, and response times to emails could be lengthy. The billing was clear, but at times I questioned whether certain tasks required the level of senior attention billed. In the end, the legal outcome was favorable and technically sound, which is why I'm giving this rating. For someone needing a skilled attorney to navigate a complex trusts issue in Birmingham, Ashley Neese will get the job done competently, though you may need to manage your expectations regarding client communication and hands-on guidance throughout the journey.
