Ashby Lawton Jones

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 !

I've been divorced about a year and a half and my ex filed a motion which required me to go back to court so I hired Ashby to represent me. She did an amazing job and I'm not exaggerating when I say she embarrassed the other attorney in the hearing. Ashby was not my attorney during my divorce but I... wish she was. Ashby will be my first choice if anything else comes up with my ex that requires legal representation.

I can't say enough about Ashby AND the young ladies who work for her in her office. I knew that my divorce wasn't going to be simple so I searched for the best and I feel confident saying that's exactly who I found. I am not an aggressive individual, in fact I'm quite passive, so I knew I needed some...one who would have my best interests in mind. I was married many years and trying to get all of the information I needed together seemed impossible but Ashby and the ladies in her office worked patiently and closely with me as I sorted through my life and information to put everything I needed, together. I would get discouraged at times but they supported me even emotionally to help me move forward. Divorce is not something you want to go through without experienced legal council. And the better the council, the less stressed you feel. It is still stressful, but I felt fully confident in Ashby and the ladies which took a tremendous amount of stress off of me. Since I'm so passive, there were times I just wanted to throw in the towel but Ashby would tell me to let her do her job and don't give up, everything would be fine. She was so right. If I needed something explained, she didn't treat me like I "should understand". She would explain patiently so I was comfortable with everything. I needed a spine, a backbone, and she was exactly that for me. I've spoken to people who felt their attorney was all about the money and I never once felt that. I don't believe I could have made a better investment in my future as a woman. You have got to get an attorney who will fight for you. Not one who wants to just settle. DON'T settle! Find an attorney who pushes forward and pushes hard. I am so thankful I was led to Ashby. Divorce is already hard. I'm thankful I had Ashby and the ladies in her office to guide me and fight for me. It made what was already hard and murky, easier to navigate through and endure. Now that it's all over, I can breathe and know I was represented well. I highly recommend Ashby and hope I never need her again............... But, if anything does ever come up, I won't go to anyone else.

These are the attitudes I chose to maintain over the last 12 months, and I could not be more pleased with Ashby and the outcome of my divorce. My wife chose to give up on our marriage, but she agreed to an amicable mediation and to forgo a big court battle for the sake of our daughter. However, s...hortly after she moved out I was served with a summons to appear in family court 17 days later. She chose not to be fair, and was asking for full custody of our daughter. I was devastated, and scared. After many conversations with friends, one recommended Ashby stating that he had the unfortunate experience of being on the wrong side of the courtroom from Ashby. He said that if he had to do it all over again, he would hire her. So I met with Ashby and in that one hour consultation, she had my wife pegged and knew exactly how to handle my case. I left our meeting feeling assured and, after a lot of prayer, I surrendered the outcome to God and hired Ashby. With just 2 weeks to prepare a counter complaint and appear in court we really had our work cut out for us, but Ashby and her staff were great. Ashby was very articulate and did a great job of putting me at ease and giving me confidence. Ashby turned out to be very smart and intuitive in many ways. Without ever meeting my wife, she really did a great job of understanding my wife's personality just from our conversations. She also had enough experience with my wife's attorney to know what we could expect from her and how she might advise my wife. Everything Ashby said would happen did happen. My wife chose to settle in lieu of battling it out in court, we were able to finalize our divorce in 12 months without it dragging out, and the outcome of our settlement was exactly what I would hoped for had we gone through mediation. In our first meeting Ashby told me that she was expensive but worth it... this also turned out to be true. Maybe her retainer and hourly rate is more than what other attorney's might charge, but in the long run I know I would have paid much more to a "cheaper" attorney and jeopardized that which is most valuable of all... my relationship with my daughter. I never wanted to be divorced, I never wanted to be in family court, and I never wanted to be in a situation of having to choose an attorney, but I am grateful that God led me to Ashby. So there is no doubt that I highly recommend you hire Ashby. And, if you do, be sure to Trust God, believe in Ashby, and be a good client. God Bless!

Ms. Ashby Jones is the BEST! She may be the most expensive attorney in the area but she knows her stuff. Her dogmatic disposition, tactful strategies, and superb promptness worked in my favor. Ms. Ashby works on each case as if it is close to her heart. She dresses professionally is prompt in her res...ponses to her clients and other attorneys. Her staff is friendly. She charges A LOT of money, but you get what you pay for. She is extremely good at what she does and she knows it. I wish I had hired her first instead of wasting money on an inferior divorce lawyer.
