CurrentAshley DeBoard is the founding attorney of Flagstaff Law Group and focuses her practice on providing estate planning and family law services to families and individuals throughout northern Arizona. Ashley’s estate planning practice focuses on the protection of minor children, wealth preservation, and values-based planning, as well as planning for incapacity. Ashley supports her clients to achieve the peace of mind today by knowing they have secured their futures for tomorrow. She works with clients to counsel them about the law and she empowers her clients to choose a plan that truly represents their priorities, values, and budget. Ashley’s family law practice focuses on Collaborative family law, as well as divorce, child custody, support, and other matters. Ashley is certified by the IACP as a Collaborative family law attorney. As a Collaborative practitioner, Ashley helps her clients explore other options that differ from the costly, zero-sum game of traditional litigation. She educates her clients about the benefits of the Collaborative law, where parties share a commitment to proceed honestly, respectfully, and in good faith in an out of court process. Ashley’s Collaborative practice uses interests-based negotiation to identify the shared goals and individual interests of both parties, with a search for resolutions that meet the needs of both parties and create more durable outcomes in a case. Ashley believes the Collaborative process is especially suited toward families with minor children because the ability to positively co-parent and keep children out of their parents’ conflict is critical to minimizing the harm to children that can result from a traditional litigated family case. Ashley is also a busy mother of two boys. She credits her children for bringing her a deeper awareness to the needs for families and for inspiring her to design plans that families can count on to work when they are needed most.
