The Button Law Firm’s Ashley Knarr Speaks at the TTLA Women’s Caucus

A Return to Teaching CLE Courses: Ashley Knarr’s Enthusiasm

Ashley Knarr, a dedicated daycare and childcare injury lawyer from The Button Law Firm, recently had the honor of presenting at the Texas Trial Lawyers Association (TTLA) Women’s Caucus Virtual Community Hour. Her presentation, titled "Bringing Child Injury Damages to Life: Developing the Noneconomic Damages Case," provided an opportunity for Ashley to share her experience and passion for advocating on behalf of child victims of neglect and abuse.

Reflecting on the experience, Ashley shared her enthusiasm: "It was nice to be teaching a CLE again—I haven't done that since 2019. The chance to present for the TTLA Women's Caucus was particularly special because this group consists of hardworking, professional, and passionate women. It's invaluable to have a space where we can come together, showcase our skills, collaborate, and learn from each other."

The Importance of Advocating for Child Victims

The Virtual Community Hour was an enriching experience, not just for the participants but also for Ashley herself. She expressed her gratitude for being part of such an empowering organization, stating, "Being able to speak about what we do, how we do it, and why we choose to dedicate our team to advocating for children who are victims of neglect and abuse is always fulfilling. It’s a reminder of the impact we can make in the lives of vulnerable children and their families."

During her presentation, Ashley delved into the complexities of noneconomic damages in child injury cases, emphasizing the importance of effectively conveying the emotional and psychological impacts on young victims. She provided valuable insights into how to connect with families and look for behavioral symptoms that highlight the profound effects of neglect and abuse beyond the physical injuries. This approach is crucial in ensuring that the courts understand the full scope of harm experienced by the children and their families.

Fostering a Supportive Community Among Women in Law

The virtual event provided a platform for sharing knowledge and best practices among a diverse group of legal professionals. Ashley highlighted the importance of such gatherings, noting, "The TTLA Women's Caucus offers a unique opportunity for women in law to support and learn from one another. It’s inspiring to see how many talented women are out there, all working towards the common goal of justice and protection for our clients."

The Button Law Firm is incredibly proud to have Ashley Knarr represent the firm at this event. The TTLA Women’s Caucus is known for its commitment to fostering a supportive community among women attorneys, and Ashley’s involvement underscores the firm's dedication to continuous learning and professional growth.

A Successful and Inspiring Event

As the event concluded, participants left with a deeper understanding of the nuances involved in advocating for child injury cases and the importance of telling the right story the right way. Ashley's presentation provided practical guidance and inspired fellow lawyers to approach these sensitive cases with empathy and diligence.

In reflecting on the event's success, Ashley expressed, "I'm so grateful for the opportunity to share my experiences and learn from such an amazing group of women. Events like these remind us of the power of coming together to enhance our skills and advocate fiercely for those who need it most."
