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.

Continuing a Family Tradition

What began as a father-and-son partnership between Joseph and Gary Ashmore has grown into one of Dallas’s most respected law firms, known for its personal touch and exceptional service. Today, The Ashmore Law Firm continues to serve individuals and families across North Texas in key areas including:

  • Estate Planning & Probate

  • Family Law & Divorce

  • Guardianship

  • Personal Injury

  • Civil Litigation

Our team believes that effective representation starts with trust and compassion. We take the time to understand your unique situation and guide you through life’s most important moments—whether you’re protecting your family’s future, navigating a complex probate case, or seeking justice after an injury.

Our Philosophy: Small Firm, Big Impact

At The Ashmore Law Firm, we intentionally remain a boutique practice. This allows us to deliver the individual attention and tailored legal strategies that larger firms often can’t provide. Every client benefits from the combined expertise of our entire team, ensuring no one ever faces their legal challenges alone.

We treat every client like family—because that’s how our father built this firm: on trust, integrity, and genuine care.

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.

Carrying Forward Judge Ashmore’s Legacy

Though Judge Joseph E. Ashmore, Jr. has passed, his values live on in every case we take and every client we serve. His dedication to justice, fairness, and community continues to guide our firm’s vision today.

We honor his memory by upholding the highest standards of the legal profession—and by treating each client with the same compassion and respect he modeled throughout his career.
