About Ms. Ashley
Ms. Ashley Lauber earned her Juris Doctor from Seattle University School of Law in 2011. She arrived in law school intent on courtroom work. Her education in Seattle laid a foundation in litigation skills and legal writing that she has carried into practice.
After law school, Lauber built a practice that crosses state and federal lines. She is admitted to the bar in Washington and is also admitted to appear before the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Those admissions shape the kinds of matters she accepts and the procedural settings she navigates.
Her work encompasses both state-court matters and federal appellate practice. She handles briefing, oral argument preparation, and procedural strategy for appeals. In state courts she addresses pretrial and trial-phase litigation, while in federal appellate work she concentrates on the record and issues that travel beyond the trial court.
Lauber practices at Lauber Dancey. The firm serves clients in Washington and in federal courts where counsel must be admitted to specialized appellate panels. At the firm she divides time between drafting appellate briefs and managing filings in state litigation. Her role involves close collaboration with clients and co-counsel to maintain consistent positions across different forums.
Colleagues describe her style as methodical and direct. She favors careful record development and clear, disciplined briefing. In hearings and meetings she tends to be concise and practical. That approach helps when cases move from state court dockets up to an appellate calendar with tight deadlines and exacting standards.
Outside of court appearances, Lauber spends much of her practice on case preparation, evidence review, and legal research. She keeps current on procedural developments that affect appeals and statewide litigation. She currently practices at Lauber Dancey, concentrating on federal appeals and state-court litigation.
