This review is for Bridget Finn, Ashley Balicki and their team at SBFL. I could not be more happy with my choice to hire Bridget to represent me throughout my post-decree modification motions over the past two years. Thanks to her strategic counsel and her adeptness at navigating the legal systems in place, my children are now safe. (Which, imo, is a much tougher outcome to get due to the barriers within our legal system here than it should be - and that means that it’s super important to get counsel you trust to do a good job.) Bridget’s work was absolutely worth every penny, because the wellbeing of my kids was at stake. She was always professional, strategic, understanding, and quick to respond to my many inquiries. When she went out for a few months on leave, Ashley took over my case seamlessly and ensured that I continued to receive the same level of service until Bridget was back. I was continuously impressed with the entire firm. Could not recommend them more highly - again, I feel that I owe them the safety of my children. Thank you SO MUCH, Bridget and team!- Amanda

Abigail and Ashley were great and easy to work with. I like to ask a lot of questions and go through all possible options. They always answered my questions in a timely matter and helped me consider all options and possible impacts. I worked with Abigail primarily towards the end of my divorce and communication was always clear. My divorce case ended up going my way which obviously improved the experience and has brought a lot of closure and happiness to my daughter and I. Overall, Solutions Based Family Law is a great team and I am grateful for the work Ashely, Abigail, and Brandi put into my case.- Drew Johnson

For several months after I was served with divorce papers, I tried to represent myself. Once I realized that I needed a team, I chose Ashley Balicki and I am so grateful that I did. It was one of the best decision's of my life. Ashley's experience and knowledge ensured we were as prepared as possible for everything. She anticipated my needs and represented my position perfectly without needing much input from me. She is truly a lawyer who wants a great outcome between all parties involved, while still vigorously and expertly defending her client. If you unfortunately find yourself in a position where divorce is inevitable, Ashley Balicki is worth every penny and much more. I will forever be thankful for Ashley and Brandi.- Dan Roy

I chose Ashley as my lawyer for my recent divorce. Everything was "new" to me in regards to whole divorce process. Ashley was beyond patient, kind, and explained all steps so I completely understood. I asked a lot of questions and she always made me feel validated & comfortable. As, I hope to never need her services again, I wouldn't hesitate to contact her for future assistance. Her staff was just as great! Always returned my calls, texts & emails in very timely manner and were willing to help when I needed them.- Kamm Lavene

I had the pleasure of having Ashley Balicki and her team by my side during a difficult post decree case.
Throughout the entire process Ashley was professional, kind, and I feel she truly cared for my family and our situation. She was incredibly responsive, showed extensive knowledge of family law, honest, and also held me accountable for being the best possible co-parent. We had the best outcome for our case and I am so grateful I had her on my side fighting for my family and I. Thank you for helping me navigate this difficult time Ashley!- Erica Craven -

Ashley Balicki, was amazing during the divorce. Her and Brandi handled my parenting hearing and division of assets. They made good calls and were on top of things. Even though, my ex was very difficult and made every attempt to take everything away from me, including my kids.. All I can say is, worth the money. Thank you Ashley and Brandi for all of your help and understanding during my difficult times.- Antonio Ornelas
