Her practice at Dunaway Law Firm, LLC, covers motor vehicle collisions, medical malpractice, product liability, and other serious injury claims. She works to build clear cases, explain legal options, and pursue fair results for people facing medical bills, lost income, and long recoveries. Her background also includes work on high-stakes matters that required careful review, strong advocacy, and steady attention to the facts at every stage.

Ashlee earned her B.A., Cum Laude, in Sociology with a Criminal Justice concentration from the University of South Carolina in Aiken. She completed her J.D. at Thomas M. Cooley Law School in Auburn Hills, Michigan, where she earned Dean’s List honors. Her academic record also included cum laude recognition, Thomas Hallman Hall of Fame honors, and high distinction. This education gave her a strong foundation in legal research, case analysis, courtroom preparation, and the careful client service required in demanding injury cases.

Ashlee began her legal career through clerkship and internship roles that strengthened her courtroom and appellate knowledge. She served as a law clerk for the Honorable Judge John J. McDonald and interned with the Michigan State Appellate Defender’s Office. After returning to South Carolina, she interned at Parham Smith and Archenhold, joined the South Carolina Bar in 2013, and continued building her practice there. Her work earned greater responsibility over time, leading to her becoming a named partner in 2021.
