Biography

Ashleigh Raso grew up in LaCrosse, Wisconsin, but was fortunate to have family in the Army and was able to travel much of her childhood. At the age of 8 her parents passed away several months apart. A legal dispute regarding her parents will and estate led to Ashleigh to have an Attorney assigned to her. It was the first time she remembers really having her own voice. That attorney’s zealous advocacy inspired Ashleigh to become an attorney herself and give others a voice.

Ashleigh Raso currently practices out of Minneapolis. She combines her skills and unique background to represent people who have been injured by a medical device or pharmaceutical drug.

Ashleigh is the person who you need on your side. She has a passion for making sure people receive the compensation they deserve. If you’ve been injured by a medical device or pharmaceutical drug, Ashleigh can help you get back on your feet.

When not practicing law Ashleigh Raso loves spending time with her family and friends, her dog, Baileigh, and hiking and playing volleyball.
