Ashby Lawton Jones

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.

Yahe assured me she knew exactly what to do and that her papers were so Air tight that nothing could get through!! She was far from correct. My life Has been a nightmare since signing those papers she assured me would fix all our problems all it did was wreck my life! I am having to pay a new attorn...ey to undo everything she screwed up and lied to me about! Undoing is way harder than just doing it right the first time!!!

I had hired an attorney to help me with a family court case. It didn’t take long for me to realize I had hired the wrong person. I reached out to people on social media to help me find the best attorney for me and would not except just anyone’s, “my attorney is the best attorney” claims. When I got... in to see Ashby she did not just tell me what I wanted to hear to talk me out of my money. She was stern and honest with me about my situation. Once we had discussed my case entirely she agreed to take it for our agreed-upon amount. Now, Ashby isnt for everyone if you just want someone to tell you what you want to hear. Family court is no place for an emotional person. She is young but she is old-school in her values and in the way she does business. Throughout my case she was always honest and straightforward with me and was always on top of every detail. Her professionalism from beginning to end Was shockingly skillful compared to the two other attorneys I had previously hired in my lifetime. At one point in my case while numerous false accusations were being made against me she confronted me about them as they were stacking up very high and not in my favor. I knew right then I had hired the right person because she was not afraid of anyone much less the person who was paying her. It was never about the money with Ashby. It was always about legalities and ethics. If I had lied to her one time I believe she would have sent me down the road. I never did and I always kept faith in her and she kept faith in me when no one else did. Even friends and family members questioned me. After a year almost of not seeing my daughter Ashby did a deposition against my daughters mother. No person had ever confronted my daughters mother, the defendant, up to that point. They only listened and attacked me for what she was alleging. Ashby did just that in the deposition. She confronted her at every point and the defendant slowly broke after three hours. The defendant broke and admitted lie after lie as she couldn’t handle Ashby, this person that was in a fight for mine and my daughters lives and future. As I sit here now, w my daughter, I can only try not to get emotional wondering what would have happened to us without Ashby. Family court is a very dysfunctional place to be and can destroy families based on lies and incompetence. It literally can be a battle for your life. If you or a family member is in a dark place and need help protecting your or their children I implore you to contact Ashby’ Jones. There are no guarantees in life or court but..... if you’re going to go into a fight you darn sure better go in there with someone who not only knows how to fight and isn’t afraid to go against the people she will have to work with in the family court system in the future. I can’t thank Ashby enough for what she did for us. I do know I learned a lot and I have a role model in her to try and mold my daughter after. Ashby, thank you for putting up w me and all my emails and long talks. My daughter, my boys and I can’t thank you enough.

Without a doubt I highly recommend Ashby. She is one of the most respected, compassionate, caring individuals that I have ever met. I went in to see her several times concerning a divorce in which she told me the options that I need to consider. This was extremely hard for me as I was ending a 36 ...year marriage. She always kept me updated on what was going on. I never once felt in the dark or unsure of what the next steps needed to be as she led me down the path of all the uncertainty that comes up with a divorce. Since then anytime anyone in social media asks for a recommendation, I always say Ashby. I promise, you will not get any better. She never made me feel just a "client" but took great care in the advice she was giving me.

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 !
