Caitlyn Ashley

Estate Planning and Probate Attorney that Knows What it is like to be a Client 

Shortly before she was set to deliver her Guyer High School valedictorian speech, Caitlyn’s father died unexpectedly. Caitlyn’s dad cared about her future immensly and thankfully executed a Will before his passing. He knew she wanted to become a lawyer, and he wanted to make sure her dream lived on—with or without him. That’s why, in his will, he named Caitlyn’s mother executor over her affairs until she turned 25. “That age limitation really allowed me to go off to college and live my life and pursue my career knowing my mom was taking care of everything,” she says. “My dad knew I wanted to go to law school and the 25-year age limit was definitely intentional.”

Now, Caitlyn is living her dream. She’s a lawyer. She's back in her beloved home town close to her family and she’s happy to be a part of Leigh Hilton’s team focusing on probate law—a topic close to her heart.

“I’m looking forward to working with probate clients because I have been a probate client myself,” she says. “I think it makes me a better, more well-rounded attorney. I have each client’s needs and feelings at the forefront of my mind.”

Prior to joining Leigh’s team, Caitlyn graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a degree in History and Government and then graduated from Texas A&M University School of Law located in Fort Worth.
