County Attorney Dennis McGrane stated, “The administrative professionals who work at the County Attorney’s Office are the heart and soul of this office. Prosecutors often get public recognition when a dangerous criminal goes to prison, or an elderly victim or child is rescued from a dangerous situation, but the accomplishments of this office are firmly founded in the hard work, dedication, and professionalism of our Litigation Specialists and other support staff. Ashley Rodriguez started here as a high school student twenty years ago and has never had a job assignment that she did not excel at. Ashley represents the best of what we do, and I congratulate her on her well-deserved award.”

The Lifetime Achievement Award is designed to recognize an individual who has had a distinguished career of at least eighteen years in a public prosecutor’s office, who has made significant contributions to the protection of public safety and the administration of justice, and whose career exemplifies the highest standards of dedication and commitment to the profession. Due to the nature of the honor, it is not necessarily awarded annually.

Rodriguez started as a Clerk Trainee and Court Runner at the County Attorney’s Office while she was still in high school. Since then, Rodriguez has served in nearly every unit of the office, where her legendary work ethic, thorough knowledge of office functions, and problem-solving skills have allowed her to excel in each of her assignments. Rodriguez currently serves as the Lead Litigation Specialist in the office’s fast-paced Charging Unit, where her management skills, experience, and hard work ensure that case filing deadlines are never missed and that justice is upheld for the community.
