Meet Ashley Davenport

Her Story

Twenty years on the employee’s side.

Ashley grew up in Iowa and has called Los Angeles home since attending the University of Southern California, where she earned her B.A. in Political Science and rowed on a crew team that competed at the Pac-10 Championships. She earned her law degree at Pepperdine University School of Law, where she served as an editor of the Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal and had her writing selected for publication.

Ashley is a highly-skilled lawyer, and a dedicated advocate for every client she serves. She started her career in a small plaintiff’s employment firm, trial by fire, learning the ins and outs of the work fast and firsthand. Outside of a few years representing elders and their families in elder abuse and wrongful death cases, she has spent her entire career in plaintiff’s employment litigation. Courts throughout Southern California have appointed her class counsel in wage and hour class actions, trusting her to represent thousands of employees at a time, and as attorney for the relator in a government fraud whistleblower case she secured a $6.9 million settlement on behalf of the government.

In 2018 she opened her own firm, and with it the freedom to choose who she represents. Many of her cases are taken on principle: the employee was clearly wronged, and the employer should be held to account. Today her referrals come from former clients, and even from former defense counsel she has litigated against, which she considers the truest testament to her work.

• Employee-side only , she represents workers, never the companies they’re up against.
• You work with Ashley , the handling attorney and your line of communication on every case.
• A small caseload on purpose , so each case gets intensity and intent.
• Plain-spoken by design , complex legal issues explained in language that actually helps.
