About Ashelee
Ashelee Weeks built her path to law through an unusual route. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Community Health Education from Brigham Young University in 2001 and later took up legal study at the University of Baltimore School of Law, receiving her J.D. in 2012. Those years framed a turn from public health concerns to courtroom work.
Her early practical experience came through a string of internships and entry-level roles. In 2010 she interned at the Chesapeake Bay Foundation and at the Court of Appeals of Maryland, and she spent time at Warnken, LLC. The following year brought internships at the Maryland Attorney General’s Office and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia. In 2011 she worked as a Rule 16 practice lawyer in the Howard County State’s Attorney’s Office, gaining courtroom time and exposure to pretrial procedures.
Weeks moved west and entered the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office as a prosecutor in 2013. There she handled a range of criminal matters and completed a series of prosecutor-specific trainings. The Maricopa experience included courtroom safety and tactical programs, plea negotiation sessions, and sustained work on trial preparation and prosecution essentials. She also completed training modules tied to law enforcement operations, such as use-of-force drills and advanced impaired-driving enforcement.
By 2015 she had shifted into two parallel roles. She began teaching as an adjunct professor at Arizona Summit School of Law, bringing courtroom lessons into the classroom. In the same year she took on the managing lawyer role at Weeks Law, PLLC. That move placed her in private practice, running a firm while continuing to teach and stay involved in the local legal community.
Her professional training is broad. It ranges from forensic science coursework at the Arizona Department of Public Safety Crime Lab to department-run corrections instruction. She holds certifications in concealed-carry training, basic trial advocacy, and advanced roadside impaired driving enforcement from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The variety of those programs reflects a practice shaped by prosecution experience and by practical, tactical training.
Weeks has maintained memberships in professional organizations since early in her career. She joined the American Bar Association in 2012 and has been active in Arizona Lawyers for Criminal Justice since 2016. She previously held membership in the Maricopa County Bar Association from 2013 to 2015.
Her office is listed at 11811 North Tatum Blvd. She practices in Arizona and runs Weeks Law, PLLC. Her practice centers on criminal defense and related matters.
