Attorney Information
Overview
Jennifer L. Ashley is a powerhouse personal injury and wrongful death attorney at Salvi, Schostok & Pritchard P.C., where she’s been fighting for justice since joining in 2012 and earning a partnership just two years later in 2014. With a relentless focus on cases involving car accidents, premises liability, and defective products, she’s a proven champion for her clients.
She’s recovered over $70 million for injured individuals, delivering life-changing results like a $16 million settlement for a Lake County man who lost his leg in a crash, a $3.14 million settlement for a Waukegan woman with a similar injury, and a $2.425 million award for a family in a medical malpractice tragedy. Her victories don’t stop there: she’s secured million-dollar settlements for truck and motorcycle crash victims and won a $1 million jury verdict for a woman injured in a trucking accident.
Recognized as an Illinois Super Lawyer every year since 2016, a Top 100 Super Lawyer since 2021, and among the Top 50 Female Super Lawyers in Illinois since 2019, Ms. Ashley’s accolades also include Best Lawyers in America for Personal Injury Litigation and Leading Lawyer status since 2016. Her reputation as an elite attorney is unmatched in the field.
Beyond her courtroom triumphs—where she’s tried over 100 cases to verdict and been featured in the Cook County Jury Verdict Reporter more than 75 times—she’s negotiated over 1,000 settlements with skill honed from her early career at an insurance defense firm. A passionate advocate for the underserved, she volunteers regularly with Prairie State Legal Services, offering pro bono help to those in need.
Ms. Ashley brings her expertise to the community as an arbitrator in Cook and Lake Counties, a former Chicago Kent College of Law’s national mock trial team coach, and Chair of the Lake County Bar Association’s Civil Trials & Appeals Committee. A graduate of Chicago Kent College of Law—where she earned CALI Awards for top grades and taught Criminal Law—she’s deeply connected to the legal world as a board member of the Lake County Bar Foundation and an active member of prestigious groups like the Illinois Trial Lawyers Association and American Association for Justice. When you need a proven winner who cares, Jennifer Ashley is the attorney to call.
