Ashley E Lorance

I am an attorney based in Gastonia, NC, practicing family law remotely with King Law Offices.

Since I started practicing, I have devoted my energy to trying to efficiently resolve family law cases. I became a NCDRC Certified Mediator for Family Financial cases in 2017 and a NC Board Certified Family Law Specialist in 2020. Clients often come to lawyers when they are stressed or anxious. I truly enjoy helping clients and my best reward is to bring them relief from whatever legal problem they are facing. Please call for a consultation.
