Tollakson Law is a compassionate, collaborative law practice serving families in Des Moines and around Central Iowa.

As hard as divorce is, I can't imagine handling it any other way. The last thing I wanted to do was to go to court. To this day, my ex-husband and I have a very respectable relationship, and we both give 100% of the credit to working with Ashley and the Collaborative Law process.

The services I have received from Ashley Tollakson and all with Tollakson Law have been stellar. The experience in dealing with difficult situations shines through in the results achieved. I recommend this group of experts for anyone needing representation with family law matters.

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Ashley.  She listens and genuinely cares about her clients; and is willing to go to bat for whatever is needed.  She very successfully assisted me with an agreement that has provided me peace of mind, flexibility and most importantly; protection for my family.   She's very organized and really took the time to explain the process to me, in addition to providing documentation and answers to any questions along the way.

Ashley helped me during a tragic loss in my life.  The loss of my marriage.  She helped me understand my choices and gave me time to reconcile my heart.  She did a wonderful job in helping me to understand the law but also thinking through the consequences of my actions and the emotional and financial impact.  Ashley is one of the strongest people I know.  She knows how to hold you in your suffering while protecting you.  She never shared more than was needed to ease my burden but had the situation under control during the whole process.  I will forever be thankful for her steady and loving hand.

I highly recommend Ashley, Guardian Ad Litem! Finding a good Guardian Ad Litem to help you successfully navigate Family court is very, very difficult. I am a single, African/American male and I had an unusually complicated child custody case. Bottom line, family court can be very scary and unpredictable. I met with Ashley at her office. Ashley spent about an hour really listening to me explain my situation, answering my questions and offering advice on how we should move forward. I took my daughter to Ashley’s office. Ashley spoke to my daughter (without me). When it was over—they both came out of the office with big smiles. During the hearing, Ashley represented my daughter well! She communicated with my daughter, wrote an excellent letter of recommendation, and spoke highly of my daughter to the judge. She addressed our concerns clearly and compassionately. She explained my daughter’s foundation, current family life and future goals and potential. Child custody can be very stressful, frustrating and scary. shley had our best interest in mind—as a person and as a client. Throughout the entire process Ashley did everything she could to make sure our outcome could be as successful as possible. Thank you Ashley keeping our family together.
