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.

I don't write reviews, until now. My lawyer Lillie Ashworth's performance as my Divorce lawyer was fantastic and she deserves a 5 star review as well as the people on her team.

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...

I worked with Lillie who was understanding of my situation, allowed me to share and be understood, all the while being realistic, straightforward and honest about options as things arose, with my true interest in mind. I would definitely recommend her and continue to use her services

Custody
First I want to thank Mrs. Ashworth, wonderful person, very hands on and direct. Mrs. Ashworth took on my case, and helped me and my family, even though there was some challenge, but Mrs. Ashworth done her job and put me and my family needs first.

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...
