also known as Lillie Martin Seifart
I am a licensed North Carolina family law attorney practicing with Soni Brendle, PLLC. I handle issues related to divorce and separation such as child custody, child support, absolute divorce, spousal support, equitable distribution, family law litigation, separation agreements and domestic violence. I also handle the drafting of premarital agreements and some adoptions. I practice primarily in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina but have experience litigating in other North Carolina counties, particularly Wake County. I value and respect my clients and I aim to provide the highest level of professional service to each and every client. I take a straightforward approach to handling family law issues. I do my best to ensure each client understands their rights and obligations under the laws of North Carolina and that they informed and prepared for each step of the family law process. I enjoy working with people and helping them navigate the difficult and emotional path through the divorce process.
I am originally from Charlotte, North Carolina where I attended Myers Park High School. After I graduated, I accepted a Division 1 swimming scholarship to Davidson College where I studied English Literature. I graduated from Davidson in 2013 and began my legal studies at Campbell Law School in Raleigh, North Carolina. While at Campbell, I discovered my passion for family law and helping people. I interned in both the District and Supreme Courts as well as in private practice with family law firms. I was also a member of the Campbell Law Review and served as the Symposium editor my 3L year.
I have more than seven (7) years of exclusive family law experience. I have been recognized by North Carolina Legal Elite and Superlawyers for my legal practice.
Outside of work, I am mommy to my young daughter and I enjoy spending time with her, my husband, and our pet cat, Fifi. I also enjoy working out and exploring new places in North Carolina and beyond.

Professional, Excellent, and Kind
I usually do not give the top star as a rule because there is room for growth for all. However, it is not about that. In life, for me it is not so much about what you do (which is important) but how you make people feel. I genuinely felt valued from Lillie. Lillie was kind, patient, efficient, thorou...

Lillie is amazing, professional and compassionate!!
Lillie Ashworth is so amazing. No one ever really wants to need the services of a divorce attorney, however, when a friend recommended Lillie, I knew I was putting myself in the most capable hands immediately. She had the ability to balance what was incredibly personal and emotional to me with the p...

Knowledgeable, Organized, Professional, Compassionate
Getting a very capable and competent lawyer from the start is key to resolving divorce issues. Lillie Ashworth was actually my second attorney (first was NOT at Marshall & Taylor). I retained Lillie after a year and half with another law firm. I wish I had her from the beginning of my divorce (all th...

I would highly recommend Lillie Ashworth if you are going through a separation/divorce. Lillie was able to connect me with DCRC and domestic abuse resources that proved to be extremely helpful. She helped me identify my highest priority goals with my separation and we were able to achieve these toget...
