Ashlea Brandon
@ashleabrandon
Attorney focused on contract legal support and federal investigations, translating complex facts into regulation-compliant outcomes.
What I'm looking for
I’m an attorney providing contract and temporary assignment legal services, with a strong track record translating complex case materials into clear, actionable work products. I draft pleadings, motions, and discovery materials under attorney supervision while maintaining confidentiality, discretion, and professional accuracy throughout.
From September 2020 to September 2025, I served as a Remote Attorney Advisor with the United States Small Business Administration, conducting legal review and fact-finding for alleged identity theft and fraud tied to federal COVID-19 Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL). I analyzed and compared documentation across complainants, financial institutions, and government agencies to evaluate legal sufficiency and credibility.
In that role, I prepared written findings and recommendations in compliance with federal regulations and agency protocols, and advised on administrative determinations affecting loan enforcement, recovery, and compliance actions. I also communicated directly with members of the public regarding sensitive allegations, ensuring procedural fairness and confidentiality.
Earlier in my career, I represented defendants in employment and governmental liability matters at Alexander Law, P.A., handling claims under Title VII, FMLA, ADA, and the Mississippi Tort Claims Act. I began as a Law Clerk to the Honorable Lillie Blackmon Sanders, advising on criminal and civil matters, drafting judicial orders and memoranda, and supporting efficient case management; before that, I worked as a legal assistant across estate planning and litigation support.
