New Direction Family Law is proud to announce that several attorneys at the firm have been recognized in the 2026 SuperLawyers© and Rising Stars lists, an honor that highlights outstanding professional achievement and peer recognition within the legal community.
Attorney, Partner, and NC Board Certified Family Law Specialist Ashley Oldham and Managing Partner, Attorney, Parenting Coordinator, and Collaborative Lawyer Elizabeth Stephenson have been named to the 2026 SuperLawyers© list, while Attorney, Managing Partner, and Parenting Coordinator Sarah Hink, Attorney Ava Jennette, and Attorney Sara Bolasny, and have been recognized as 2026 Rising Stars.
SuperLawyers© is a nationally recognized rating service that identifies exceptional attorneys across more than 70 practice areas. The selection process includes peer nominations, independent research, and professional evaluations designed to recognize lawyers who have demonstrated a high degree of professional achievement and peer recognition.
The Rising Stars designation recognizes outstanding early-career attorneys who are either under the age of 40 or have been practicing law for 10 years or less. Only 2.5 percent of attorneys in each state receive this distinction.
At New Direction Family Law, these honors reflect more than individual accomplishments. They represent the firm’s continued commitment to providing clients with thoughtful guidance, trusted advocacy, and high-quality legal representation during some of life’s most complex family law matters.
The attorneys recognized this year assist clients with a wide range of family law issues, including divorce, child custody, equitable distribution, and alimony, serving individuals and families across Wake, Durham, Johnston, and surrounding counties in the greater Raleigh area of North Carolina.
New Direction Family Law congratulates Ashley Oldham, Elizabeth Stephenson, Ava Jennette, Sara Bolasny, and Sarah Hink on this well-deserved recognition and is honored to work alongside such talented and dedicated attorneys.
