Ashley McElroy Parris

Ashley McElroy Parris, the managing partner at McElroy Parris Trial Lawyers, APLC, in Ojai, California, is dedicated to giving a voice to those who are often marginalized and treated unfairly. Many of her clients are victims of senseless tragedies who face additional challenges due to their gender, race or background. These individuals often lack the resources and knowledge to confront powerful adversaries. She aims to advocate for these victims, ensuring they receive the justice they deserve. She serves clients throughout Southern California.

Ms. Parris has been fortunate to have the support of wonderful friends and family throughout her life, which has inspired her to give back by helping those in vulnerable situations. Her commitment to aiding individuals who have been seriously hurt or injured is unwavering. She is particularly passionate about cases involving chronic pain disorders resulting from injuries. She recognizes that this area of injury law is often misunderstood and overlooked, with defense lawyers and insurance companies frequently dismissing these victims. 

Ms. Parris tried her first jury trial at the age of 28, representing a man who suffered a crushed foot in a motorcycle collision and continued to endure chronic pain years later. The insurance company's dismissive treatment motivated Ms. Parris to seek justice on his behalf. The favorable jury verdict not only changed the victim's life but also solidified her commitment to her work, inspiring her to continue advocating for those in need.

Before receiving her Juris Doctor from Pepperdine University School of Law in 2005, Ms. Parris earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Pepperdine University in 2001.
