About J. Ashley
J. Ashley Heredia practices family law in Georgia. She brings a steady, matter-of-fact approach to cases that often involve personal and financial upheaval. Her background is rooted in courtroom work and private practice, and she has moved between roles in firms and her own practice over the last decade.
Heredia earned her J.D. from Samford University in 2008. After law school she established herself in Georgia's legal community and took on roles that broadened her experience in family-law matters. Courtroom experience, negotiation, and client counseling have shaped how she handles each matter she accepts.
She was a partner at Hedgepeth, Heredia & Rieder beginning in 2014. In 2017 she opened Sawyer Family Law and operated as its owner. In 2020 she became a partner at Heredia & Lennon Family Law. That pattern — firm partnership, solo practice, then partnership again — reflects a mix of trial and management experience alongside running a small practice.
Her practice centers on family law. She handles divorces, child custody and visitation disputes, child and spousal support matters, and related issues that often accompany family transitions. She works in both negotiation and litigation settings. Clients describe her style as direct and practical. She prepares for hearings carefully and aims to give clients a clear sense of what to expect from each stage of a case.
Heredia holds membership in the State Bar of Georgia. That membership connects her to continuing legal education and the professional standards expected of Georgia practitioners. She has used those resources to stay current on procedural changes and evolving case law that affect family-law practice.
In the office she splits time between client conferences, drafting pleadings, and courtroom appearances. She has handled contested custody hearings and negotiated settlements in complex asset cases. Outside of court she focuses on case management and mentoring junior attorneys at her firm.
She practices at Heredia & Lennon Family Law and manages a docket that balances litigation and settlement work. Her current practice focuses on family-law disputes, including divorce, custody, and support matters.
