About Ashlen B. Spencer Advocacy
In her advocacy work, Ashlen brings broad experience and a deep understanding of issues related to the Americans with Disabilities Act. This knowledge helps her develop effective defense strategies in litigation related to accessibility matters and discrimination claims. She also counsels clients on ADA mandates to ensure regulatory compliance and provides guidance on actions they can take to avoid potential lawsuits.
As a civil rights advocate, Ms. Spencer spent her career fighting for individuals whose voices have been silenced. Having a desire to relate with traumatized clients, Ms. Spencer pursued specialized trauma-informed legal education, equipping her to support clients who have experienced significant emotional or psychological harm. Through this training, Ashlen deepened her understanding of how trauma affects memory, communication, and trust—and how the legal system can either help or harm in moments of crisis.
