Andrew Brendle and Lillie Ashworth Named to the 2026 Business North Carolina Legal Elite!

We are proud to announce that Andrew Brendle and Lillie Ashworth have been selected for the 2026 Business North Carolina Legal Elite, an honor recognizing North Carolina’s top attorneys as chosen by their peers. Both Andrew and Lillie were recognized for their work in Family Law. Being chosen by fellow attorneys is a meaningful reflection of the professionalism and respect they have earned within the legal community

This year marks the 25th class of the Legal Elite, with fewer than 1,100 attorneys statewide earning recognition out of more than 30,000 lawyers regulated by the North Carolina State Bar. More than 4,000 attorneys received at least one peer vote, highlighting the select nature of this distinction

Celebrating a Hall of Fame Honor

We are also proud to recognize  Ketan Soni, who was previously inducted into the Business North Carolina Legal Elite Hall of Fame for Family Law. Hall of Fame status is reserved for attorneys who receive the highest number of peer votes in their category statewide, placing them among the most respected lawyers in North Carolina.

Together, these recognitions reflect the strength of our firm’s family law practice and our continued commitment to our clients day in and day out.
