Robert Ashford
Founding Partner
Corporate & Litigation
Co-founder of the firm and a respected trial advocate with more than 30 years before the bench.
Ashford & Wells began as a two-attorney practice above a hardware store in downtown Riverton, with a conviction that has never wavered: that every client deserves a lawyer who listens first and advocates fiercely.
What started as a small general practice has grown into a respected multi-disciplinary firm serving thousands of clients across five states. Through every chapter of that growth, we have held tightly to the values that defined our first office โ accessibility, integrity, and relentless preparation.
Today, our partners and associates bring decades of combined experience to the courtroom and the negotiating table. But our measure of success remains exactly what it was on day one: the trust of the people we serve.
Principles aren't a marketing line for us โ they shape every engagement, every brief, and every conversation.
We give honest counsel โ even when it isn't what a client hopes to hear. Trust is earned through candor.
We out-prepare the other side. Thorough research and meticulous strategy win cases before they begin.
Your matters are private. We protect confidentiality with the utmost care at every stage.
You'll always reach a real attorney who knows your case โ not a voicemail or an answering service.
Once we take your case, your fight becomes our fight. We pursue every legitimate advantage on your behalf.
We invest in Riverton through pro bono work, scholarships, and local civic leadership.
