Colorado Springs Probate and Estate Planning Attorney
Education
Ashlea graduated from Texas State University in 2006 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science. She was a scholarship Track & Field athlete all four years, and upon graduation, she received awards for being among the highest-ranking students in both the Political Science and Athletic departments. In 2009, Ashlea graduated from Baylor University School of Law with honors. Not only did she get a great education at Baylor, but she also met and married the love of her life, Tim, a fellow Baylor Lawyer.
Experience
After law school graduation, Tim’s military career took the family from Texas to Florida. In early 2010, Ashlea began working as an Associate Attorney with the Law Offices of Richard D Green in Clearwater, Florida. The firm handled estate planning, probate, guardianship, and real estate matters. Early on, Ashlea realized she had found her calling working with the elderly and those whose lives had been impacted by death and disability.

Finding Home in Colorado Springs
After a number of years in Florida, the Goines family began a series of three cross-country moves in a three-year period, eventually landing permanently in Colorado Springs. In 2017, Ashlea waived into the Colorado Bar using the military spouse rule (Colo. R. Civ. P. 204.4) and in 2022, she became a permanent member of the Colorado Bar. Ashlea fulfilled a lifelong dream in 2018 when she founded Goines Law, a Colorado Springs estate planning law firm, which handles probate, estate planning, and guardianship matters. Our goal is to provide excellent legal service with honesty, integrity, and compassion.
