Ashby Lawton Jones

Words cannot express how satisfied I am with Ashby’s representation in my divorce. I’ve been a trial lawyer myself for over 20 years and Ashby’s performance in the courtroom was as good as any I have seen. We had a weeklong trial involving multiple expert witnesses as well as a novel issue of evide...ntiary law. Her preparation, presentation, and persuasion led to an outcome better than I had ever hoped possible. I always felt that she and her partners (Murry and Bob) were personally invested in my case and their staff members were always very responsive to me. My divorce was the toughest emotional time of my life and Ashby steered me through it. If want one of the absolute best trial attorneys in South Carolina to represent you in your divorce, hire Ashby.

Everything I write here is the truth nothing but the truth, so help me God! I am a professor at a local university. I have just stumbled upon some negative reviews and was shocked to see a few lower ratings. I have read all reviews one by one. I disagree with the negative reviews and wanted to add m...ore to the positive ones. The negative reviews here are extremely harsh, certainly some bogus reviews generated by a variety of stakeholders in competition with or angry at her because they may have lost a case against her. I wouldn’t be surprised if one of them to be my ex-wife. If you are looking for a family lawyer, the cream of the crop, the best in the Midlands, perhaps even in South Carolina and a true fighting trial lawyer, a legal scholar who can argue cases all the way to the US supreme court for seemingly unwinnable custody cases, I highly recommend Mrs. Ashby Johnson along with her new protégés amazingly intelligent lawyers Mr. Bob Jackman and Mrs. Rebekah Bonekamp. Although, I have only worked with Mrs. Jones, on several occasion we needed the input of her partner Mr. Kinard who proved to be nothing less than a genius and seasoned legal strategist. Please be reminded that most case-outcome are determined outside the court rooms during the preparation of written material. The judges read these writings first before they listen to the arguments by counselors. When Mrs. Jones and her folks in their firm start writing your complaint or defense of your case, they bring in their combined years’ of experiences and dealings with each Judge. First of all, they know the law; they know all judges’ likes and dislikes, how they will view your story from their angle, what they hate and like, how they manage their court rooms, and most importantly, these lawyers and judges have mutual respect for each other. In short, your case could be over as soon within a few minutes when a Judge starts reading your case. If it is written well, you’d have the judge on your side and win the hearing instantly. Mrs. Jones and her partner are extremely intelligent folks (a rarity among family lawyers, I found out). I waited in line literally for a year to be able to hire her. As soon as her schedule freed up, I fired my ex lawyer. My case ended up going all the way up to the appellate court, involved parental evaluators, guardian ad-litem, psychologists, hand-writing experts, private investigators, you name it. She found the best experts, and other expert lawyers in two specific areas when we had to go to the appellate court. She won eight consecutive hearings for me until, finally, the other side threw the towel and had to settle through mediation in August of 2020. Twice, she made the other side pay my legal fees for her office. This outcome is rare in family courts. She fought for me two full years but you must do your part and act as part of their legal team, not as a lazy client. Teams win cases. After eight months of patience and when my ex did something that was considered as a reason to open a new case, she’s acted on it and opened a new child custody case. During the first hearing, Ashby’s honesty and trial skills created nothing but a miracle; we won the sole-custody with mother given only two-days in a month: please be reminded that losing party (the mother) was not a drug abuser, nor alcoholic, could not be considered as unfit mother. However, she showed the truth to the world, parental alienation is real, it’s happening every day, it destroys the lives of the children, and that it needed to be taken seriously by the courts. Some parents should not continue having the custody of their kids because of their hate toward their ex-spouses. Mrs. Jones is a believer in God, attends church but will be very respectful to your belief-system and religion if you are from a different faith. And God and his angels always seemed to be on her side in the court room. Ask this competent legal scholars and court room strategists for help.

Ashby Jones met with me quickly regarding a separation and divorce. Throughout the process, she was firm, yet caring. She knew my needs without me having to express them. She helped me maximize the money I spent to get the best representation possible. She was very upfront in how I could best use my ...time and hers. Her team was so friendly and helpful, and always so quick to respond. I felt like I was not just a client, but a friend, yet treated with so much integrity and professionalism. My ex husband now recommends Ashby for any litigation, and not the attorney he hired. That should speak volumes!

Ashby goes above and beyond for her clients. You could not be in better hands for representation during a divorce. She puts in the work needed to dig up the info to make sure an adulterous spouse pays the price. I could not be more pleased with her representation from start to finish! She is expensiv...e, but you definitely get what you pay for when hiring this exceptional attorney.

Ashby Jones is the Bulldog I needed ( and continue to need from time to time) in my Domestic Violence related divorce case. My former husband was/is a threat to my children and me. She took every precaution necessary from emergency hearings to changing the venue to listening to my anger eventually f...low. I knew that she was fighting for us EVERY step of the way and would not back down under any pressure. I trust her implicitly and understand that her job is to protect us even if I may not understand her methods. She is the attorney. I am not. My complete trust in her abilities paid off for my children and me. I highly recommend Ashby Ashby Jones to anyone going through a divorce but particularly a bad one because she is the one you want on YOUR side and not across the table from you !
