George E. Ashford III

My friend has been incarcerated at Lee Sterritt for 8 months & never hears back from Mr. Ashford nor gets visits. In last court appearance he told my friend to stop filing dumbass grievances - the judge even asked if he said this. He stated he did & him, the judge & the DA rep all laughed. Not every...one is guilty. Not sure exactly what he does to earn a salary. Smh.

My experience with Mr. Ashford called his number and his assistant answered she took my number and my information. To never receive a call from Mr. Ashford instead got a call from closest friend in jail to hear Mr. Ashford came to meet with him and in an irritated voice stating your friend's a...nd family keeps calling me. That is so rude and unprofessional of him to say that to a client, when the client has more on there plate, then as Mr. Ashford puts it has to family and Friends calling him about their case.

I am reading the bad reviews about Mr. Ashford and that is not the man that I got for my son case. He was very honest about my son situation and let me know the choices that he had. My son had one of the worst cases you can have. Every time I called him his receptionist would answer and tell me he wa...sn't in, and she would take a message and make sure he got it. He would call me back when he could, no it was not right away, but he always returned my calls. When you get a lawyer, we have to understand that our family member is NOT the only client they have. He could be handling 20 other cases at one time. He is an attorney for Juveniles and adults. Yes, we all want them to stop what they are doing and cater to our loved ones, I'm no exception to that, but that's just not how it is. We want certain outcomes, knowing darn well it's a 50/50 chance it could go the other way. Be realistic about the outcome of the situation. Just like my son case. It was not what I wanted but it was the best decision for his situation. Then when you don't get the outcome, you want. The attorney gets bashed. They are the attorney for a reason if you could do the job yourself then you wouldn't need him. I had to learn to be patience and know that he would get to me just as soon as he could, and that's exactly what he did. It didn't make me feel less important at all. Respect your attorney, talk with sense when you speak to them, be patience, and be realistic about the situation. Mr. Ashford thank you 1,000 times for your dedication on my son case, and even checking on me to see how I was holding up. If you are looking for an attorney do not hesitate to call him. He is a VERY, VERY, good attorney.

George Ashford III failed to communicate and provide updates on a case. I understand that if the courts a public defender to defend you. The attorney pretty much works for the courts. How is this fair? I feel that he did not fight for me when I needed him the most. Although, I did not personally hir...e him, Dallas County did, I feel that he could have at least put forth an effort to fight for my freedom or a lesser sentence.
