"Facing a divorce, afraid, and completely at a loss as to what I needed to do, I contacted James Ashmore at Neal, Ashmore and Killibrew Family Law. Not knowing what to expect was the worst of it. The team at NAK helped me through it step by step with a great deal of compassion and professionalism. Jim Ashmore has always kept me well informed and has gone the extra mile many times over while working with me on the initial case and custody issues that have come up. The level of trust I have in him and his team has made it possible to move forward confidently and with a positive attitude. Knowing that they have my best interests as well as my children's foremost in their minds, knowing that they really do care, makes all the difference. Many thanks to all of you."

Letter to Kim from law student with the Shadow Mediation program:
Hello Kimberly
I wanted to thank you again for letting me observe on Thursday. You were truly amazing, easily the finest mediator I have seen in action. That was the first family law case or CPS case that I have seen. I am sure they are all emotional because of the issues involved. I was amazed at the result. The law would have provided a different result, one that did not obtain the BIC that the law strives to satisfy, and yet you were skillfully able to truly find the optimal outcome for all parties, especially the children. I literally fought back tears at the mother's reaction when she realized that her mother as going to get primary JMC. That was an incredible experience that I am fortunate to have observed, and I learned much.
Thank you again,
Michael Kurmes

"Since going through a divorce can be a very challenging experience, it was important to be represented by an attorney that was not only knowledgeable, but also compassionate. Brook Stuntebeck was not only those things, but she (and her staff) were also very responsive, helpful, kept me informed, were committed to getting this resolved as quickly as possible, and kept the needs of me and most importantly my children at the forefront. Working with Brook was a pleasure - she is an excellent family attorney, and a terrific person as well!"

In 2003 my wife of 10 years filed for divorce. We had three kids, property, 401K... all the usual stuff. The big difference was her allegation, against me, concerning our kids. Even though it was false, there were dire consequences and my world went upside down. I called the only lawyer I knew, who does not practice in Texas. He pointed me to Jim Ashmore.
I met Jim the following day. He was surprised that I defaulted to a "soft" response at our initial meeting. My heart was telling me I could fix all of this while Jim pointed out the obvious side of this scenario. He cautioned me against the decision, but respected my opinion and filed accordingly.
Over the next 5 months, Jim helped me separate legal issue from drama, listed options, advised, filed, and addressed problems ranging from a CPS investigation to lie detector test. This was a huge mess and I was lucky to find a lawyer who could navigate through it.
Fast forward a few years. My kids are on the mend, living with me. Sadly their mom's aggression did not stop. When a border dispute shifted the county line, my residence ended up in the neighboring county. My X-wife then filed suite in this "new" county. Additional allegations and investigations ensued. My family was destroyed. My kids were at risk
Jim's broad experience and penchant for detail lead to positive outcome throughout the entire dilemma. He always went over options, created a sound plan, and was well prepared for hearings and trials. Jim stays calm and flexible in court, adjusting when required. His demeanor and approach earns respect of judges, opposing attorneys, and witnesses.
These observations are not based on whim. Exhausting legal work behind us, my kids and I continue to build a life together, their mom plays a very limited role. This journey took me through 3 courts in 2 counties with (over time) 5 opposing attorneys. I simply continued to show up with the same attorney, Jim Ashmore.

"Several years ago, I found myself having to separate from my wife.
With children involved, I did not know what to do. I knew I needed a lawyer and I was heart broken to say the least. A friend recommended Denton County lawyer, William F. Neal. My friend told me that I was going to need Bill and that he was good at what he did. Thankfully, Bill went to work on my case. If your looking for a "TOP GUN" hard working man that will not give up, this is the guy you want on your side. Bill knows divorce law and he's one of Denton County's best. Bill is very respected and fair. He will think of and see things that you can't when you are going through a divorce. Bill has a very high level of knowledge in the courtroom and he will not back down. The choice I made to hire Bill was excellent. My case was and still is very complicated. He did and continues to do a wonderful job for me. The other side has gone through 7 - 8 lawyers while I have only had one - Bill Neal. Just let him do what he does best - fight for your best interests. If you want a respected attorney with experience of 30 years plus and someone that has won more cases than most lawyers ever will, Bill Neal is the man you want. Thank you, Bill."
