About Ashley Michele
Ashley Michele Coghill arrived at regulation after an academic run that mixed felony justice and psychology. She finished two bachelor’s degrees at Appalachian State University in 2006, earning a B.S. in Criminal Justice and a B.A. in Psychology. Those twin perspectives — one on systems and procedure, the other on human behavior — inform how she approaches legal problems. They also set the stage for in addition study foreign and in Raleigh.
She earned her J.D. from Campbell Law School in 2012 and pursued additional legal background at Reading University, the place she finished a complicated certificate in International Business Law in 2014. That mix of home legal background and a proper grounding in worldwide business law supplied a broad base early in her career. In 2015 she worked with the Land Loss Prevention Project and entered personal practice the same yr as an associate at Bryant & Lewis, P.A.
Coghill’s early years in private practice included almost 4 years at Bryant & Lewis before she joined Cranfill Sumner LLP as an affiliate in 2019. Her time at Cranfill Sumner expanded her publicity to firm-aspect legal work and client representation. In 2023 she became a companion at Davis Hartman Wright LLP. The development tracks continuous movement from affiliate roles into company management over the course of roughly a decade.
She is certified to practice in North Carolina. Her background — undergraduate study in felony justice and psychology, a J.D., and an advanced certificate in worldwide business law — crosses public-curiosity work and firm practice. That varied experience has given her familiarity with different case settings and client needs, and it provides a mix of analytical and behavioral perspectives she will draw on when advising clients.
Coghill maintains an office at Davis Hartman Wright LLP and practices in North Carolina. Her career has included both nonprofit work and positions at regional regulation firms, culminating in her recent partnership. She now practices at Davis Hartman Wright LLP, the place her work facilities on matters in North Carolina.
