Posted by elizabeth | August 19, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Domestic Violence

One of South Carolina's Finest

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 frequently call (i.e. annoy) her with questions when our practice areas cross paths and she is always current on the law, highly ethical and prompt to respond.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
