Attorney Profile
Top Rated Family Law Attorney in San Diego, CA
Founder and Principal Attorney Ashley Negrette of Negrette Law, P.C., is a tenacious legal advocate. She is a trial-ready attorney, having completed the rigorous 7-day Family Law Trial Advocacy Program at the National Institute of Trial Advocacy in Boulder, Colorado.
Attorney Negrette has been nominated as a Super Lawyers “Rising Star” for three consecutive years, 2019, 2020, and 2021, an honor given to just 2.5% of lawyers in the State of California. She has been quoted in the San Diego Union Tribune on immigration issues and has been featured in Forbes, Entrepreneur and Fortune Magazines.
Attorney Negrette earned her bachelor's degree from University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and her law degree from California Western School of Law (CWSL). She passed the California bar exam in 2013, on her first attempt. She is admitted to practice in front of all California State Courts, all Immigration Courts and select Federal Courts.
Attorney Negrette has won several important cases for her clients in the past year alone. During the height of the coronavirus pandemic, she won the approval of an O-1B Visa for a very talented musical performer out of Los Angeles, CA. This was a truly exceptional win because USCIS was routinely denying these performance visas as concert venues were closing and musical tours were being cancelled due to government shut down orders.
In addition, Attorney Negrette won a one-day trial on Christmas Eve after her divorce Client waited for over 8 months for his hearing following court closures due to the pandemic. The opposing party and her family member filed two domestic violence restraining orders against him, yet the aggressive opposing counsel was unable to claim victory. Attorney Negrette took testimony from six witnesses and after hearing closing statements, the Court ruled in favor of her Client. As the prevailing party, her Client is entitled to attorney’s fees for having to defend the case.
A consummate professional and recognized leader in her practice areas, Attorney Negrette represents clients in complex immigration and family law matters. She employs a sharp legal strategy and patiently guides her clients through tough situations with a calm yet tenacious verve.
