Result Oriented Lawyer

“ Mr. Ashwell and Sarah, his paralegal, are outstanding. I felt fortunate to have found such a diverse, experienced, and knowledgeable attorney in Warren County, Virginia. After doing a lot of research, I’m lucky to have found Mr. Ashwell. He provided quality and skill in his defense of my son’s crim...inal case. He went above and above to work thoroughly. Results were more important to him than money. His apparent diligence, honesty, sophistication, and vision are unparalleled by other attorneys I had contacted. I would recommend him without hesitation for all your legal needs in the state of Virginia.

Real Estate Research and Transaction

I hired Ashwell and Ashwell to research county zoning, and also for a real estate transaction after that. I had a very positive experience with the whole team at Ashwell and Ashwell. They were professional, responsive, and knowledgeable. I was also pleasantly surprised with the bill. I highly recomme...nd their services.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
