Meet The Ashmore Law Firm Divorce Team

Continuing a Family Tradition

Judge Ashmore began his distinguished career after more than 20 years in the banking industry. He was later appointed Judge of Probate Court No. 3 in Dallas County, Texas, where he served honorably for 12 years. After retiring from the bench in 1986, he returned to private practice—driven by a commitment to provide personalized legal services grounded in ethics, fairness, and care for every client.

What began as a father and son working side by side, Joe Ashmore Jr. and Gary Ashmore, has grown into one of Dallas’s most respected divorce and family law firms. From the start, their shared values shaped every aspect of the practice: a commitment to integrity, personal attention, and truly understanding the people they serve. Those principles remain the core of who we are today.

Over the years, our firm has expanded and evolved, and we continue to offer a full suite of services for individuals and families across DFW. Within that broad service offering, Family Law stands out as one of our most highly specialized and deeply resourced practice areas. Our dedicated family law team includes divorce coaches, settlement focused professionals, experienced litigators, and subject matter experts who work together to provide comprehensive, strategic support. This collaborative structure allows us to guide clients through every stage of their case with clarity, strength, and a tailored approach that reflects both their goals and their family’s unique needs.

Alongside our family law team, we also assist clients in complementary areas including Estate Planning and Probate, Guardianship, and Personal Injury. These services allow us to support families through life’s major transitions and ensure continuity when legal issues intersect or require long term planning. Whether you are establishing an estate plan after a major life change, navigating the probate process, caring for a vulnerable loved one, or seeking recovery after an injury, you receive the same level of care, precision, and dedicated attention that define our family law practice.

Joe Jr. and Gary built a firm grounded in trust and genuine care for the people who walk through our doors. We carry that tradition forward by offering the expertise of a highly trained team and the personal service of a boutique practice. No matter what your legal needs are, you have a firm beside you that understands your priorities and fights for what matters most.

Our Divorce Philosophy: Small Firm, Big Impact

At The Ashmore Law Firm, we choose to remain a boutique divorce practice for a reason. Our size is intentional. It allows us to provide the level of focus, communication, and individualized strategy that many larger firms simply cannot offer. When you work with us, you receive more than a lawyer who knows your case. You receive a dedicated team of experienced professionals who collaborate, problem-solve, and advocate as one unified force.

Every client benefits from the collective knowledge, insight, and skill of our entire firm. Complex issues, high-stakes decisions, and deeply personal legal matters deserve nothing less than comprehensive, expert attention. We ensure that no client ever feels unheard, overlooked, or alone in the process.

This approach is rooted in the values our father built this firm on: trust, integrity, and genuine care. We treat every client like family, not because it sounds good, but because it reflects who we are. At the same time, we bring the experience, precision, and legal authority necessary to protect what matters most to you. When you trust us with your case, you gain a team that is compassionate in its approach and uncompromising in its pursuit of the best possible outcome.

Committed to Our Dallas Community

Our mission extends far beyond the courtroom. Giving back is at the heart of who we are. From supporting veterans’ organizations and children’s advocacy groups to participating in local park cleanups and community events, we’re proud to make a positive impact across the Dallas–Fort Worth area.
