Gary Ashmore – Managing Attorney, The Ashmore Law Firm
Gary Ashmore serves as Managing Attorney of The Ashmore Law Firm, directing firm operations and leading its Family Law practice with an emphasis on high-net-worth and complex divorce cases. With more than 30 years of legal experience, he represents executives, entrepreneurs, and high-asset individuals in matters involving significant property division, business ownership, and intricate financial holdings.
His experience extends beyond family law into civil litigation, probate, guardianships, real estate, business disputes, and personal injury. This breadth allows him to effectively navigate divorce cases that involve layered financial structures, estate considerations, and business interests.
Gary has been appointed by Texas courts as both Attorney Ad Litem and Guardian Ad Litem in numerous matters and continues to handle a large volume of ancillary probate cases for clients and attorneys across the country. His combined experience in family and probate law is particularly valuable in divorce cases where asset characterization and estate issues overlap.
A lifelong Dallas resident, Gary attended Jesuit College Preparatory School before earning his degree from Texas A&M University and his law degree from Texas Wesleyan University School of Law. His deep ties to the Dallas community are matched by decades of experience handling complex legal matters.
Clients value Gary’s direct and strategic approach. He emphasizes transparency from the outset, helping clients understand potential risks, costs, and outcomes so they can make informed decisions. His goal is to deliver efficient, effective representation in high-stakes cases where financial protection and long-term impact are key.
Gary has also contributed to the legal field through writing and speaking engagements. He has authored and co-authored works on family law, probate, and personal injury, and has presented on topics including post-divorce considerations, the intersection of probate and family law, and collaborative legal strategies. He has also appeared on WB Channel 33 and NBC News discussing legal developments affecting the community.

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...
"Gary is a hardworking attorney, who always does what is best for his clients.

"Gary is an excellent attorney. I’ve seen Gary’s legal work from start to finish on cases and he is someone I would highly recommend.
