What She Fights For

Growing up in a family of educators, Evan has seen first-hand the nuanced challenges public employees can face at work. After earning her B.A. from Rhodes College in Memphis, TN, Evan moved to Austin, Texas. There she helped injured workers navigate the workers’ compensation system. Evan then worked for several years in public education policy reform for the benefit of Texas teachers before deciding she wanted to have a more tangible influence on the employment landscape. She then received her J.D. from South Texas College of Law and set to work advocating for employees in the workplace.

I was very nervous to begin discussions with an attorney about the gender-based pay equity discrimination that I was experiencing in the workplace. Ashley Marton turned out to be exactly the legal professional I was looking for — an attorney who was very easy to work with, highly communicative, approachable, and a true partner in my lawsuit. I worked with her regularly over several years as our lawsuit gradually moved through the system. Ashley always answered my questions and maintained a clear focus and direction for all our actions. She prepared me well for a smooth deposition. Ultimately, she brought the case to a reasonable settlement with my employer. It is my hope that this pay equity case will be part of an ever-increasing body of legal pressure that will help support professional women in the decades to come, and I appreciate Ashley’s big-picture thinking on the social justice contribution that lawsuits such as mine can make.
