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 unique integrated approach to handling complex legal matters that often intersect.
Led by managing attorneys Gary Ashmore and Lori Ashmore Peters, the firm brings together family law and estate planning under one roof. Gary Ashmore, who leads the family law practice, has been licensed in Texas since 1995 and has been selected to Texas Super Lawyers in Family Law from 2024 to 2026. He also holds the AV Preeminent Peer Review Rating from Martindale-Hubbell. His sister, Lori Ashmore Peters, leads the estate planning and probate practice. Licensed since 1996, she 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 holds the AV Preeminent Peer Review Rating as well.
According to Gary Ashmore, the integration of both practices is a key advantage 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,” he said.
The firm serves clients in high-net-worth divorce in Texas and complex probate matters across the Dallas-Fort Worth area, including Dallas, Garland, Lewisville, Plano, Frisco, and Highland Park. Practice areas include divorce and complex property division, family law, estate planning, trusts, probate and estate administration, probate litigation, will contests, guardianship, and business succession planning. Both attorneys have served as Attorney Ad Litem and Guardian Ad Litem in Texas courts, and Ms. Ashmore Peters has also served as a special probate judge for Probate Court No. 3 in Dallas County.
The dual #1 rankings from Expertise.com highlight the importance of coordinated legal strategies for clients dealing with intertwined family and estate matters. For business leaders and high-net-worth individuals, this recognition signals that a firm with expertise in both areas can provide more cohesive counsel, potentially reducing costs and conflicts. The firm's track record, including Ms. Ashmore Peters' 15 consecutive years of Super Lawyers recognition and Mr. Ashmore's recent Super Lawyers selection, reinforces its standing in the legal community.
