Gregory Ashcraft, Esq.

Greg is an Estate Planning attorney in the firm. When he is not helping families create, implement, or execute plans to protect his clients’ assets and family members, he is busy with four children. He and his wife, Rachel, love music and met at Murrieta Valley High School when they were in choir together. They still sing regularly at church where Rachel is the church’s choir director. Their kids have followed in their musical footsteps and demand that their parents play the music from Hamilton while the whole family sings the lyrics at the top of their lungs.


Patricia Ashcraft, Esq.

Pat is the founder of the firm. The Ashcraft Firm is truly a family business: Greg is Pat’s son. She currently heads the Probate and Trust Administration Department, but practiced bankruptcy law for many years. She has been licensed in California since 1983. In 2019 she temporarily retired but discovered that she loved working too much to retire. She returned to the firm full time in 2020.

Pat graduated from Thomas Jefferson School of Law in 1983 and was a Psychology major at the University of Houston. Greg is her only child.


Joselina Medrano, Esq.

Joselina has been a bankruptcy attorney for many years. She loves the feeling of relief and gratitude from clients after they’ve filed for bankruptcy and completed their cases.

Joselina graduated from Cornell University and California Western School of Law. She started working full time for The Ashcraft Firm in 2020. She has also had her own estate planning and probate practice in San Diego County, and worked on various other civil matters as an independent contract attorney. When not working, Joselina enjoys spending time with her husband, four children, and her large extended family.


Michelle Perkins

Michelle is the firm’s Senior* Paralegal. She has an AS in Paralegal Studies and is a certified paralegal. Michelle also has an AA in Behavioral and Social Sciences. She primarily assists with our bankruptcy cases but also contributes to other matters within the office when needed. When you call the office to start the bankruptcy process, Michelle will most likely be the paralegal you speak with. She will gather your information and the documents necessary for the attorney to determine what form of bankruptcy you qualify for and will continue to assist you throughout your case along with the other staff members. Michelle is the mother of two children, Hannah and Casey, which she is rightfully very proud of. She also has two fur babies, Dottie and Teddy. If you ask Michelle who her favorite child is, she will tell you “Dottie, hands down!”

*Disclaimer: By Senior, we mean Michelle has been here the longest, not that she is old.
