About

I am a licensed North Carolina family law attorney practicing with Marshall & Taylor, PLLC. I handle issues related to divorce and separation such as child custody, child support, absolute divorce, spousal support, equitable distribution, family law litigation, separation agreements and domestic violence. I also handle the drafting of premarital agreements and adoptions. I practice primarily in Wake County, North Carolina but have experience litigating in other North Carolina counties. I value and respect my clients and I aim to provide the highest level of professional service to each and every client. I take a straightforward approach to handling family law issues. I do my best to ensure each client understands their rights and obligations under the laws of North Carolina and that they informed and prepared for each step of the family law process. I enjoy working with people and helping them navigate the difficult and emotional path through the divorce process. I am originally from Charlotte, North Carolina where I attended Myers Park High School. After I graduated, I accepted a Division 1 swimming scholarship to Davidson College where I studied English Literature. I graduated from Davidson in 2013 and began my legal studies at Campbell Law School in Raleigh, North Carolina. While at Campbell, I discovered my passion for family law and helping people. I interned in both the District and Supreme Courts as well as in private practice with family law firms. I was also a member of the Campbell Law Review and served as the Symposium editor my 3L year. I began working for Marshall & Taylor as an intern in 2015. After graduating from Campbell Law and passing the North Carolina bar exam in 2016, I became a full time attorney practicing exclusively in the area of family law. I am a member of the North Carolina State Bar, the North Carolina Bar Association, the Wake County Bar Association as well as the 10th Judicial District Bar and the Young Lawyers Division.In my free time, I volunteer with the Circle of Children ministry at the Salvation Army Center of Hope assisting mothers who are victims of domestic violence and homelessness with their childcare needs. I also enjoy traveling, cooking, and spending time with my husband, friends, and family outside of work.

Lillie Ashworth is so amazing. No one ever really wants to need the services of a divorce attorney, however, when a friend recommended Lillie, I knew I was putting myself in the most capable hands immediately. She had the ability to balance what was incredibly personal and emotional to me with the professionalism and the knowledge of the court systems and the laws that we were getting ready to navigate. One of the hardest parts, I found in this process was how long the state of North Carolina makes it, and trying to get through this with the added obstacle of Covid. I know I would have never been able to do this without her keeping me calm and focused on the tasks at hand. Divorce is a business transaction at its core, but she was able to be very sensitive to my feelings while still guiding. She was very organized and kept me up to date on the work that she was doing behind the scenes on my case, I never felt like my case was not the most important thing on her desk, even though I know I was not the only client! She has the ability to look at my situation and not try and fit it into the same box as anyone else. She recognized that every case is different, and make me feel reassured. Lillie researched every aspect of my case and made me feel like she was searching for the solution to my particular problem and challenges. I would recommend her to anyone that is going through anything to do with family law. This is not an easy branch of the law, but she is able to do it with grace, compassion, knowledge and professionalism.

Getting a very capable and competent lawyer from the start is key to resolving divorce issues. Lillie Ashworth was actually my second attorney (first was NOT at Marshall & Taylor). I retained Lillie after a year and half with another law firm. I wish I had her from the beginning of my divorce (all the mediation, child support, division of assets etc...). She was able to untangle the mess that was my first very difficult mediation, wade through the obstacles, paperwork, court proceedings. She listened to my concerns, kept me focused on issues so as not to waste money and time, and was able to handle a very difficult situation seamlessly. She is organized, compassionate and was able to resolve issues my former lawyer could not and get me a very fair resolution. Divorce is difficult and unpleasant and I don't wish it on anyone, but when you need to go there, pick a capable lawyer that will produce the best possible outcome in a timely manner.

Lillie was recommended to me by a friend of mine and I couldn't be happier with her. From the first meeting I knew she was on my side. This was my first experience in divorce/child custody and she was able to take an uncomfortable situation and make it about as comfortable as I would imagine it can be. She was extremely proactive, responsive and knowledgeable on how to best handle my case. In the end, we reached the desired outcome. I would definitely recommend hiring Lillie Ashworth!!

I hired Lillie to represent me concerning an expired child support order that was garnishing payments every pay period. Lillie was a tremendous help in ensuring the following: -Order to Terminate Child Support was back-dated, and filed with the Clerk of Court. -Passport blocks were removed from my account. -Overpayment of child support was refunded to me. -Order to Terminate Child Support was sent to my employer to stop future garnishments. I would highly recommend Attorney Lillie S. Ashworth to anyone who is seeking legal assistance of a reputable Family Law Attorney!

I Retained Lillie to help with separation and division of assets. Shortly after I was served with papers and then it turned into litigation and ended in mediation. Which ended very well for me because of Lillie. She is spot on ! Divorce is personal, but she takes that out of play and sticks to the facts and the law. Through the entire process Lillie remained respectful, compassionate, understanding, while remaining impartial to personal conflicts. I highly recommend Lillie !

I would highly recommend Lillie Ashworth if you are going through a separation/divorce. Lillie was able to connect me with DCRC and domestic abuse resources that proved to be extremely helpful. She helped me identify my highest priority goals with my separation and we were able to achieve these together. Lillie is very knowledgeable, realistic and honest. I now have a completed separation agreement that protects the safety of both me and my pets. Thanks to Lillie, I finally have some peace of mind.

I can't say enough about how great of a job Lillie did with my case. From the very beginning when she asked what I was looking for in my custody case and why I thought that would be best, she stayed focused on my goal. Going to court for something as important as what I feel is best for my child wasn't easy. However Lillie was not only prepared the entire time, but kept me prepared and informed every step of the way. I'm not going to say that it was easy as I had several late nights working on what she needed me to provide. But all of that was worth it when we got the judges ruling in our favor and a couple weeks later, my daughter said that she likes the new schedule better than the old one. I can't thank Lillie enough for all she had done and I can't recommend her enough to anyone that's in the same position as wanting what's best for you child/children. Thank you again Lillie.

I hired Lillie to represent me during my very high conflict permanent custody trial (with a heavy history of domestic violence) , and cannot say enough good things about my experience working with her. From the beginning, she took the time to truly listen to me, and she went above and beyond to prepare not only herself for the trial, but me. Throughout the entire process Lillie communicated with me, and was always there to answer any questions or concerns that I had. Her performance in the court room during our two-day trial (and wirh 3 attorneys working against us) was amazing. I left the court room knowing that thanks to Lillie, I was finally able to get all the facts heard. Because of Lillie, I won my case! My family and I are so thankful to have found her.

Lillie was so professional, caring, hardworking, and diligent. She got my case at the last minute and yet dug right in and did what was needed to win my difficult lawsuit. I can not say enough good about her. No one wants to be in a position to have a lawyer, but if you ever find the need, please go to Lillie! I was so scared and she was reassuring to me, helping to quell all my deep anxiety. We truly love her!

I hired Lillie knowing very little about what needed to be done for my separation. She walked me through step by step and made sure that we stayed on task, completed all paperwork and most importantly came to a fair and amicable separation agreement. She always looked out for my best interests and let me know when she disagreed with my opinions leading me and my family to a better outcome. Her advice and expertise were phenomenal and helped make this a more manageable process.
