Ashley M. Opfer got her undergraduate degree in theatre and dance education from Luther College in Decorah, Iowa in 2008. While completing her student teaching experience in Minneapolis, Minnesota she saw many of her students struggling with legal problems. She decided that she could not help these students in the way that she wanted to help as a teacher and so she made the decision to attend law school in order to be an attorney who would advocate for children and families.

Ashley received her Juris Doctorate from the University of Denver, Sturm College of Law in May of 2012 and was admitted to practice law in Colorado the same year. During her time in law school, Ashley honed her advocacy and litigation skills as a member of the University's National Trial Team. Before joining Stowell P.C., Ashley tailored her legal research and writing skills as a clerk for the Honorable Robert McGahey in the 2nd Judicial District and learned many of the practical skills necessary as a domestic relations intern in Littleton, Colorado. Ashley has been an attorney at Stowell P.C. since November of 2012 and practices in the areas of family law, juvenile law, and estate planning. She is passionate about and committed to helping families through the legal system.

Outside of the practice of law, Ashley is married and has one son. She has a sheltie and enjoys snowboarding, swimming, camping and bike riding.
