They didn’t just open a law firm. They built the one they had always envisioned.
For attorneys Ashley Carlile and Jennifer Side, that meant creating a practice where exceptional legal representation could exist alongside compassion, integrity, and a genuine commitment to the people they serve.
Just one year after opening Carlile & Side, P.C. in Canton, the women-owned firm is already putting that vision into practice.
Together, Ashley and Jennifer bring more than 30 years of combined legal experience, but the firm they’re building is about more than experience in the courtroom. It’s about making sure clients navigating some of life’s most difficult moments feel heard, supported, and empowered along the way.
And they’re thinking big.
Their goal is to become the largest women-owned law firm in Cherokee County while holding onto the personalized, relationship-driven approach they started with.
“We wanted to create a place where people know they have someone standing beside them.”
