Ashley L. Jones

President of the Ohio Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers 2026 My name is Ashley Jones. I opened up a criminal defense law firm right out of law school and have never looked back. I was raised in a small town in Ohio, and after law school, I decided to make Cleveland my home. I cannot stand bullies. So much of the criminal justice system is bullying and individuals who find themselves accused of a crime need an advocate to fight for them against the governent. I graduated from Ohio University and Cleveland State University College of Law. We both have a true calling to help others and we can’t stand bullies or people being treated unfairly. We represent individuals with compassion and empathy, but we also stand up for them with ferocity. We know that people make mistakes or find themselves in situations they didn’t cause and ultimately we’re in the business of helping human beings.
