Posted by anonymous | July 30, 2017 | Consulted Attorney

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

One of the few...

This is only attorney who called in response to my message. Even though she couldn't take my case, she took the time to call and explain why she couldn't help me and suggested where I needed to look instead.

Referrals and consultation

Lori is an attorney our firm goes to when we are dealing with issues outside of our expertise in the fields of complex probate matters and guardianship. We gladly have recommended her to our clients that we cannot assist. She has certainly the respect of the probate bar and the others in the legal pr...ofession.

Posted by Hicks | July 5, 2011

Lori Ashmore is a great probate attorney.

Lori has handled both mental health and estate planning matters for our family. She is smart, empathetic and passionate in her advice and her advocacy. I am also an attorney, and I have recommended and continue to recommend Lori to anyone needing a guardianship or a will or trust.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
