Our attorneys
The people who’ll handle your matter.
Ashby & Lane started in 1998 with two attorneys and a borrowed conference room. We’re four now, with three paralegals, in the same part of downtown.
How we work
Most people only need a lawyer a few times in their life.
So we explain each step before it happens, put the cost in writing and send you copies of everything we file. Many of our clients came back years later for the next thing: a house, a business, a parent’s estate.

What you can hold us to.
A price before we start
Every matter begins with an engagement letter that sets out the fee or an hourly estimate.
Plain explanations
We write to you in everyday English and explain any document before you sign it.
Your file, on request
Ask for a copy of your file at any time and we’ll send it within a week, at no charge.
Meet us before you decide.
The first 30 minutes are free, in the office, by phone or on video.
