Asia Scarlett-Jones, Esq. is a trailblazer in family law and a powerful voice for women redefining leadership in the legal profession. As the Founder and Managing Attorney of ASJ Law Office, a boutique New York-based family law firm, she has built a practice centered on protecting what professionals build before, during, and after marriage. Her firm handles divorce, custody, child support, and mediation, and is particularly known for its work on prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, helping clients structure their financial futures with clarity, intention, and legal precision. She launched ASJ Law Office during a global pandemic with one radical mission: to prove that family law does not have to be adversarial.
Before founding ASJ Law Office, Asia served as a Public Defender at the Nassau County Legal Aid Society, advocating for parents in custody and support matters, and as a Principal Court Attorney in Nassau County Family Court, working directly with judges to resolve complex legal issues and draft judicial decisions. That dual perspective as both advocate and insider shapes every case she takes on today.
A prolific thought leader, Asia is the Amazon bestselling author of Divorce Decoded: The Professional Man’s Guide to Divorce and Custody in New York, a comprehensive resource for high-net-worth individuals navigating New York’s family law system. Her voice extends well beyond the page. Asia has been a featured guest on The Lawyer Stories Podcast, Beyond the Bar Podcast, Balancing the Scales, and The Prenup Podcast, where she has spoken on prenuptial agreements, family law, custody battles, narcissism in litigation, and strategies for smoother co-parenting.
Asia’s excellence has been recognized nationally with honors including Top 40 Under 40 (National Black Lawyers), New York Metro Rising Star, Super Lawyers Rising Star, Family Kind Rising Star (2024), and recognition by the National Academy of Family Law Attorneys. She serves on the Board of Directors for Family Kind, the Family and Divorce Mediation Council of Greater New York, and Women Owned Law, and is Co-Chair of both the Matrimonial and Family Law Committee of the Women’s Bar Association of the State of New York and the DEI Subcommittee of the Small Law Firm Committee, NYC Bar Association.
At Ms. Esquire, Asia brings her expertise in prenuptial agreements, postnuptial agreements, and marital financial planning to a room of high-achieving women who understand that protecting what you build is not a sign of distrust ,it is a sign of vision. She earned her Juris Doctor from the Maurice A. Deane School of Law at Hofstra University and her Bachelor’s degree from the University at Albany.
