“Selfless service is a core value ingrained into military culture. The men and women who serve their county vow to protect the privileges and liberties of an entire nation. As an Air Force veteran, I can think of no greater honor than representing the same deserving men and women in protecting their own individual rights.” - Ashleigh Berglund

At Patriots Law Group, Ashleigh uses her military background and legal acumen to advocate for the rights of military personnel.

Ashleigh’s second assignment took her to Royal Air Force (RAF) Mildenhall in the United Kingdom, where she was Chief of Litigation. In this leadership role, she mentored fellow attorneys and paralegals on trial preparation, including motion practice, discovery, pretrial interviews, and expert witness preparation. Her litigation skills earned her the United States Air Force in Europe (USAFE) Litigation Excellence Award, and she was ranked among the “Top 5” Company Grade Officers at RAF Mildenhall by the Base Commander.

Testimonials

THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!!!
5-star review testimonial left by a satisfied client of the law firm.

I lost my husband in a very traumatic and tragic way when our family was stationed overseas. Our 2 1/2 year-old son & I were sent back to the U.S. to rebuild our entire lives. With numerous errors on the military's end with missing or outdated documents, our son & I were struggling to move forward in every single way without the help of an advocate to assist us stateside. In addition to the many obstacles I faced with our lives being uprooted in a foreign country, grieving & processing the loss of my soulmate, and living a nightmare on earth all the while trying to raise a young child on my own without any help, I was informed that the SGLI was incorrect and my husband's life insurance was paid to his ex-wife. This was a HUGE error on the part of the military because they had followed an SGLI that was over 7 years old and void. Ashleigh from PLG took my case and IMMEDIATELY got started on doing everything she could to fix this. Upon first talking to Ashleigh, I could feel her passion, emotional drive, and genuine commitment to WANTING to help and get this resolved right away. I knew in my heart she was 100% dedicated to my case and felt so confident in her within minutes of us talking. She was able to efficiently and quickly get everything resolved, literally changing our son's & my life in an instant by providing the security of what is intended to help us build this life without my husband. Ashleigh took the biggest financial burden off of my shoulders and provided such a sense of peace amidst the tragedy I'm still enduring and pain I constantly feel every day. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!!! I 100% recommend PLG!!!
