Specializations

Ashley Marton is on leave and not currently practicing law in Oregon.

What She Fights For

Ashley has practiced law for over a decade. In 2017, she moved to Portland and has exclusively represented individuals facing workplace issues. She is skilled in resolving complex employment issues, such as setting aside broad non-competition agreements, negotiating severance agreements, and ensuring employees are treated fairly and with dignity while they are employed. She is dedicated to helping Oregon employees navigate and find the best path that meets their interests.

What Drives Her

Ashley’s passion for helping “real people” has been a cornerstone of her legal career and her life. Prior to moving to Oregon, Ashley represented employees and injured individuals in Phoenix, Arizona, and New York City. She gained valuable experience as a legal extern at the Phoenix Regional Office of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which helped develop her passion for employee rights and workers’ dignity. Ashley also spent a year living and working in Nairobi, Kenya, providing advocacy and support to The Girl Child Network’s sanitary napkin campaign. Her time in Kenya sparked a lifetime of public service.

“

Ashley was truly wonderful to work with. She was attentive, professional, clear, and compassionate in a very trying time for me. She supported me every step of my case. I highly recommend her.

I highly recommend David Higgs and the [Workplace Law PDX] firm to anyone looking for an employment attorney. From the beginning, David was knowledgeable, direct, and hardworking which are exactly the qualities you want when you’re trusting an attorney to handle an important and stressful situation.

David jumped in feet first into the deep end to understand my case, provided honest and straightforward advice, and never sugarcoated things. I felt that he was prepared and genuinely committed to advocating for me. His knowledge of employment law was evident throughout and I really appreciated that he was always direct about my options and what I could expect.

I also want to give a special shout-out to Melissa, his legal assistant. She was extremely communicative, responsive, and helpful throughout the process. Having someone who kept me informed and made sure my questions and concerns were addressed made the experience so much easier. Going through an employment case can be overwhelming, but having an attorney who knows his stuff, works hard, communicates clearly, and tells you the truth makes a huge difference.

I’m very grateful for David and Melissa and the way they handled my case. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone needing a knowledgeable, dedicated, and hardworking employment law team!
