Wonderful experience

Thomas J. Ashenden and his colleagues did me a huge favor by accepting my case. He got me a reasonable settlement within a years time which is good timing for most accident cases. Along the way he was very informative even through the difficult parts of the case and I’m grateful that he did so. Hopef...ully further clients will look to him in a time of need as well.

A TRUE GODSEND

What a blessing it is when you can call your attorney an honorary member of the family. Mr. Tom Ashenden is a man of GREAT faith and knowledge that genuinely cares about those he represents. He is a true example of "giving your best" toward your craft. I approached Mr. Ashenden two years ago for a WC... claim, not knowing that he had stepped away from that practice area. Rather than turn me away, Mr. Ashenden still took on my case, just not as lead. He has been with me every step of the way and made sure that I have had exceptional counsel throughout the process. Let him be your example if you are an aspiring attorney. I went in to hire an attorney but came out with a lifelong friend. You will not go wrong with retaining Mr. Tom Ashenden.

Long-term telationship

Over the past 15 years, I have utilized the services offered by Thomas J Ashenden, Esq. many times. Additionally, I have referred countless individuals to him, who have been more than pleased. He made history with both my Worker's Comp case and my tort case, per the state judge who oversaw the mediat...ions. On one of my referrals, it involved an incident in Tennessee, yet Tom found him adequate representation and assisted the client so that they would not have to make that long drive. He was highly recommended, and his patience and thoroughness have earned my respect. There is none like him, and I call him my friend as he has always had my best interest at heart. Each case is more than money to him, he truly represents the clients. His staff are impeccable.

Good friend, outstanding attorney.

I would highly recommend Tom Ashenden as a personal injury attorney, having just gone through the litigation process with him. The insurance companies' initial offers were low, so Tom asked me to come to his office so he could explain what to expect if we were to file a lawsuit. He gave me the optio...n to either accept what was offered or to allow him to file a lawsuit. I decided to allow him to file it. Following several depositions and court filings, my case ultimately settled for more than three times the amount that was offered before Tom prepared my case for trial. Tom is an excellent attorney who protected my rights. He stood up for me against four other attorneys who all represented different parties in my case. He is truly a trial lawyer at heart who fought to the finish for me. I feel as though I gained a friend who helped me when I needed it, rather than a business acquaintance.
