Ashling Soares

I have been practicing law for 14 years, during which I have represented hundreds of clients in a variety of legal matters, including divorce, child custody, child protective proceedings, school-related issues, employment disputes, civil litigation, criminal defense, and more. I graduated cum laude from the University of Miami School of Law. Before that, I earned my B.A. in Sociology from Boston College, where I had the opportunity to intern at a private criminal defense law firm. While in law school, I worked with the University of Miami’s Children and Youth Law Clinic, representing current and former foster care youth in cases involving dependency, health care, mental health, disability, independent living, education, immigration, and other civil legal matters. Additionally, I gained significant litigation experience through internships at both the Miami Public Defender’s Office and the Broward Public Defender’s Office.
