The Ashmore Law Firm, P.C., a Dallas-based law firm specializing in family law and estate planning, has been recognized as Expertise.com's 2026 #1 featured provider in two categories: Best Divorce Lawyers in Garland, Texas and Best Probate Lawyers in Lewisville, Texas. This dual recognition is rare for a single firm and underscores the firm's integrated approach to handling complex legal matters.
The firm is led by two managing attorneys: Gary Ashmore, who heads the family law practice, and Lori Ashmore Peters, who leads the estate planning and probate practice. Gary Ashmore, licensed in Texas since 1995, has been selected to Texas Super Lawyers in Family Law from 2024 to 2026 and holds the AV Preeminent Peer Review Rating from Martindale-Hubbell. Lori Ashmore Peters, licensed since 1996, has been selected to Texas Super Lawyers in Estate Planning & Probate every year from 2012 through 2026 and has been recognized in The Best Lawyers in America for Trusts and Estates in 2025 and 2026. Both attorneys hold the AV Preeminent rating.
The firm's structure allows for seamless coordination between family law and estate planning, which is particularly beneficial for high-net-worth clients. As Gary Ashmore noted, "Complex divorces almost always involve trusts, businesses, and multi-generational assets. When your family law and estate planning attorneys are in different buildings or on different strategies, clients pay for that gap. Running both practices under one roof lets us catch those issues at the strategy stage rather than after the fact."
This integrated approach is a key differentiator in the legal market, where clients often need both divorce and estate planning services. The firm's recognition by Expertise.com reflects its commitment to excellence in both areas. Expertise.com evaluates providers based on reputation, credibility, and experience, and the dual #1 rankings highlight the firm's consistent quality.
