Ashby Lawton Jones

When I hired Ashby, I knew I would face much heartache and pain. I would be willing to say as my case developed it became a very difficult case. Ashby had my best interest always at hand. She often times reminded me to “Hang in there”. She always asked how I was doing? Ashby always reassured me durin...g more difficult times. She was always comforforting and kept me well informed. She helped me to remain calm throughout the many hearings and final hearing. A few words that best describe Ashby , aggressive when needed, compassionate, reliable, calm, confident, efficient, encouraging. She is an incredible lady and above all, the best lawyer you could possible have by your side.

Ashby is well respected by many in our community. My first visit, I was very overwhelmed what I may face in months to come. She allowed me to think about things before I went forward. Through out my difficult case, she showed great concern not only for myself but also my children. She always kept me ...informed. Ashby is compassionate and always cared how I was getting along. She often told me to “ Hang in there”. During the many hearings and the final trial she continued to keep me focused and calm. Ashby is reliable, aggressive when needed, and diligent. Ashby is by far, the best attorney and will support you during your time of need.

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.

I had been going through a child custody battle with my mother for almost a year and a half. I had another attorney prior to Ashby that passed away suddenly and not much progress had been made due to his illness. When I consulted with Ashby, we were very close to a final trial date. I had never be...en through any court proceedings and had no idea what I needed to do to win the case. From the first time that I met with Ashby, I felt at ease and knew that I had finally found the right attorney to handle my case. She was very honest and direct saying that she was expensive but well worth the money. I can honestly attest to the trueness of that statement. I spent only approximately 3 months with her where I had spent a total of 15 months with my former attorney. By the end of the case, Ashby won the trial and I only had to pay approximately 1/4th of the total trial cost which was close to $60,000 by the end of the trial. In all honesty, I would have never spent as much as I have if I would have bit the bullet and spent the money to retain Ashby. You can't go wrong by retaining Ashby Jones. She is true to her word and she knows her stuff! I definitely wouldn't want to be on the opposing side!

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!
