Helped me settle my drunk driving accident case

Tom and his team are wonderful people to work with. We communicated very frequently and always with fast responses. With as many people as there were involved in our accident they managed to get us a great deal of money. If anything were to ever come up again it would be an honor to work with them.

Extremely Satisfied With Our Experience

Now we can see why there are so many positive reviews about Tom Ashenden and his firm. The way they handled our case was first class. Tom and his staff are extremely knowledgeable and keep us informed including promptly returning phone calls no manner what time of day. They were also very interest...ed in capturing every detail which really made a difference in the amount we received for our claim. The amount was way above what we expected and what other lawyers thought they could achieve with our case. Tom and his staff are also very approachable which made the process so much easier. We highly recommend this law firm!

Client

Ashenden & Associates did a fantastic job of negotiating and settleing an accident case. He has a great team of associates that kept me up to date on events without me having to call or e-mail. Their patience, referrals, teamwork and perserverance helped me to be confident that they would be success...ful in winning the case. My experience with this attorney was very pleasant and so unlike prior experiences with past attorneys. Truly one of of the best who had this client's best interest in mind.

Why I will always call on Thomas J Ashenden

I recently aquired Tom Ashenden as my attorney in a very complex pedestrian accident. Having Tom represent me in the past, I knew he was the one attorney I needed. Tom Ashenden and his highly competent staff are truly caring. Tom came to my hospital as soon as I called. Through the ups and downs ...of my recovery, both Tom and his staff would patiently listen to my concerns. They always kept me updated. They even boosted me up through times of depression and tears. I have recommended Tom to others as well. I always will. For me, there is no other. He's more like a friend than just an attorney. That is always better than just a face on the television and a firm that takes up a building.

Dropped the ball

I hired this attorney in May 2015 after a serious head injury. I was so happy to retain him because initially he seemed concerned about my general well being and getting the compensation I was due. It was a railroad accident but didn’t qualify for Fela so after that news he gave my case to his associ...ate who was great. Four months into the case I’m notified that his associate is no longer with the firm. I was asked to come in but not told why. Pretty much my case was given to mother attorney on the spot but to get me to sign the new retainer I was told he would still be my attorney but not the lead. Straight lie! The other attorney was lazy and did not communicate and pretty much I was stuck with him until he voluntarily withdrew because it was long and complicated and he couldn’t get a quick settlement. He referred me to another attorney who was able to get me a settlement after two years. I would not refer Thomas Ashenden ever again or hire him personally. The ball was totally dropped on my case and my compensation proved it. Nice guy but that’s it from my experience.
