Together we will then develop a plan to resolve your problem in a way that is acceptable to you. Your initial consultation is free.

Working Toward the Best Outcome

Usually, we will focus from the beginning on reaching an agreement. Settlement is quicker, cheaper, and usually resolves the issues for the long term. Litigation is expensive, time consuming, and very often results in further litigation down the road. Lee Ashmore has extensive training and experience in mediation that enables him to find a path to settlement. He has completed extensive training both in general mediation and in family law mediation. He has worked professionally as a mediator for the EEOC. He has trained mediators as an instructor. In his twenty years as a divorce attorney he has settled hundreds of cases and drafted innumerable settlement agreements.

In Your Corner

Sometimes settlement is not possible. Emotions can run high in divorce cases. The other side may insist on pursuing litigation to obtain emotional satisfaction. Or it may be that your spouse is a bully and will try to steam roll you in court. If so, Lee Ashmore is ready for the battle. He has been through the divorce wars and will stand up to the bully if need be. He has litigated over 500 divorce cases, many involving complex financial issues such as the valuation of a privately held business, and difficult custody cases. A graduate of the University of Virginia School of Law, he has been chair of the American Bar Association’s Committee on Family Law Litigation, the editor of the American Bar Association’s Family Litigation Newsletter, and winner of the American Bar Association’s Section of Litigation’s prestigious Star Award.
