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 rare dual recognition underscores the firm's unique structure, where both family law and estate planning practices operate under one roof.
Led by managing attorneys Gary Ashmore and Lori Ashmore Peters, the firm serves clients in high-net-worth divorce, complex probate matters, and estate planning across the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Gary Ashmore, licensed in Texas since 1995, leads the family law practice and has been 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, leads the estate planning and probate practice, having been selected to Texas Super Lawyers in Estate Planning & Probate for 15 consecutive years (2012–2026) and recognized in The Best Lawyers in America® for Trusts and Estates in 2025 and 2026.

Gary Ashmore emphasized the benefits of the firm's integrated approach: "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."
