This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Great Experience

Mr. Ashmore met with my husband and I for a complimentary consultation. During the meeting he gave us our options along with pricing. He was very knowledgeable about our possible case. We decided not to pursue the case but based on our experience we would recommend him! Overall very friendly and help...ful.

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.
