Compassion. Honesty. Diligence.

History

Named a Rising Star with Super Lawyers for 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, & 2023, J. Ansley Sluss has dedicated her life to making her community better for the under-served populations in Georgia.

Ansley supports the community through service on various non-profit and community organizations, as well as volunteering for numerous projects around the metro area.  Ansley currently serves as Secretary of the Georgia Tech Bar Association and provides consultations with Georgia Justice Project and Middle Georgia Justice. She has formerly served as Co-Chair of the Service Council of Atlanta Legal Aid Society; Co-Chair, Leadership Committee and Chair, Newer Lawyers Affinity Group, Georgia Association for Women Lawyers; and, Board Member, Stonewall Bar Association of Georgia. Also, she previously provided pro bono representation of immigrant victims of domestic violence through the Georgia Asylum and Immigration Network ("GAIN") and Georgia Legal Services Program.

Ansley graduated from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2008 with a degree in International Affairs and Modern Languages. She learned Spanish when living as an exchange student at La Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile in Santiago, Chile. Thereafter, Ansley worked at a local free clinic, Community Advanced Practice Nurses, where she provided case management assistance to clients, most commonly homeless women and children, as well as development and administrative support. This experience led to her eagerness to pursue a law degree and, later, cultivate her own law practice defending the under-served.  

Ansley began practicing law in 2013 after graduating cum laude with her Juris Doctor from Georgia State University College of Law in 2013.  While in law school, Ansley interned at both Catholic Charities and The Latin American Association assisting immigrants pursue legal status through family and humanitarian visa petitions.  

Shortly after passing the Georgia bar, Ansley practiced employment law with a Fortune 500 company that followed through on corporate-non-profit partnerships and service to the community. In 2016, Ansley launched her firm, Sluss Law LLC, which is conveniently located in the offices of Lawyers for Equal Justice above the Peachtree Center MARTA Station, enabling clients to reach her without the time and risk of driving in the metro area.     

In her spare time, Ansley enjoys listening to podcasts, reading historical romance and mystery novels, watching Netflix comedies, playing with her dogs, and cycling around the city with her husband.
