About Ashley E.
Ashley E. Malandre brings more than a decade of courtroom and office experience to her work. She completed her law degree at Thomas Jefferson School of Law in 2011 after earning a bachelor’s degree in Justice from American University in 2007. The academic record set the stage for early exposure to the judicial system and a steady climb through several New Jersey law practices.
Her legal career began immediately after law school with a clerkship for the Honorable Dennis R. OBrien, Ret., in 2011. That year in chambers provided front‑row experience in case management, opinion drafting and the rhythms of trial-court work. She moved into private practice the following year, joining Cleary Giacobbe Alfieri Jacobs, LLC in 2012, where she gained hands-on experience representing clients and supporting litigation teams.
In 2017 she joined Zazzali Fagella Nowak Kleinbaum & Friedman as a lawyer. The next year she moved to Methfessel & Werbel, P.C., continuing in attorney roles that broadened her exposure to complex civil matters. Each step added new perspectives on litigation strategy and client advocacy. Colleagues from these firms remember her as steady and precise in courtroom preparation.
In 2022 Malandre became an associate at McOmber McOmber & Luber, P.C. She is admitted to practice in both New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Since 2011 she has maintained professional membership in relevant legal organizations, remaining engaged with peers and developments in state court procedures. Her path from law clerk to associate reflects a steady focus on handling contested matters and navigating procedural challenges in trial courts.
Her approach to cases emphasizes measured preparation and clear communication with clients. She has experience drafting pleadings, managing discovery and preparing witnesses for testimony. She balances attention to detail with an awareness of how litigation choices affect timing and cost for clients. Peers describe her work as thorough and practical rather than theatrical.
Based at McOmber McOmber & Luber, P.C., she continues to practice in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Her current work centers on litigation in those state courts.
