Allen Stahl + Kilbourne

I work with Scott, Andrew and Matt at ASK Law on a lot of my commercial real estate transactions, and they consistently do an incredible job. In this business, responsiveness and real-world knowledge matter, and they bring both every single time. They understand commercial deals at a deep level, think ahead, and help solve problems instead of just pointing them out. My clients are always well taken care of, and I have complete confidence bringing ASK Law into any deal. If you’re looking for sharp, highly responsive attorneys who truly know commercial real estate, they’re the team you want.

Allen Stahl & Kilbourne came highly recommended by another attorney who had practiced in Asheville. We retained Robert "Bo" Carpenter as our amazing attorney who assisted us with a land use dispute. When you join Allen Stahl & Kilbourne, not only will you have your attorney, but you find that they work together as a team to ensure your issues are addressed in the most positive way. Their philosophy is to establish personal relationships with their clients and we can truly say, we feel like we are part of a family who loves us and has supported us throughout the entire legal process. We highly value them and will always recommend them to anyone needing their expertise.

Great law firm. Andrew helped me with my IP problem right away, which was great because we were about to leave for a shoot. Would definitely recommend this firm to anyone in a creative field

We worked with the ASK team on a complex, high-stakes land development project, and they delivered on every front. Derek and his team are top-tier—smart, responsive, and locked in when it matters most. Their focus on results and level of service were outstanding. Grateful for everything they brought to the table and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. We’ll definitely be working with them again.

As a developer, this was our first time working through the rezone process within the city of Asheville. Getting through a full rezone with Derek Allen and his team was seamless, every step of the way. I would recommend Allen Stahl + Kilbourne to anyone looking for a real estate / land use attorney in the area. We could not have made it happen without their team.

We just completed a very complicated rezoning for over 300 units in south Asheville. Derek Allen and the rest of the ASKLaw team were instrumental in guiding the project through the city’s process and ultimately delivering a fantastic result. We have worked with the firm for over 5 years and are on our 4th project with them. Terrific team!

The team at Allen Stahl and Kilbourne has been assembled in a way to not only get results but treat their clients like family. Moving back to this law firm was the best decision our company could’ve made. We came back at a time we’re not many firms would’ve taken us on. Not only did they take on the challenge, but they got us to the finish line and a partner resolution! I have to give a special shot out to Megan for working around the clock to help to get us to the finish line. Derek thank you for everything!!

ASK makes anyone feel so at ease and even joyful. All of the old stereotypes of “lawyers” are a thing of the past. ASK feels like we have a TEAM! I did learn 2 big lessons lately- ask ASK BEFORE you make agreements. They will make you BETTER!
