The Ashmore Law Firm, P.C., a Dallas law firm specializing in family law and estate planning, has been recognized by Expertise.com as the 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 unique structure, where family law and estate planning practices operate together under one roof.
The firm is led by two managing attorneys: Gary Ashmore, who leads the family law practice, and Lori Ashmore Peters, who leads the estate planning and probate practice. Both have extensive experience and accolades. Gary Ashmore has been licensed in Texas since 1995, selected to Texas Super Lawyers in Family Law (2024–2026), and holds the AV Preeminent Peer Review Rating from Martindale-Hubbell (2022-2026). Lori Ashmore Peters, licensed since 1996, has been selected to Texas Super Lawyers in Estate Planning & Probate every year from 2012 through 2026, recognized in The Best Lawyers in America for Trusts and Estates in 2025 and 2026, and also holds the AV Preeminent Peer Review Rating.
According to Gary Ashmore, the integrated approach is key for clients. "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 — with Lori leading estate planning and probate and me leading family law — lets us catch those issues at the strategy stage rather than after the fact."
The Ashmore Law Firm was co-founded by the late Dallas County Probate Court Judge Joseph E. Ashmore, Jr. and his son Gary Ashmore. The firm serves the greater DFW area, including Dallas, Garland, Lewisville, Plano, Frisco, and Highland Park. Practice areas include divorce and complex property division, high-net-worth divorce, family law, estate planning, trusts, probate and estate administration, probate litigation, will contests, guardianship, and business succession planning.
