We Couldn't Be Happier

Mr. Ashton represented us in a very difficult case that just settled. He was so kind and helpful throughout the course of the lawsuit and always kept us advised about what was going on. We are very happy with the result in our case and would recommend him to anyone needing legal assistance.

This Lawyer and his firm helped us out

My journery started in september of 2006 after I was involved in a falling accident.His firm was recommended from my wife's master sargent in her reserve unit.I was life flight to Shands in Jacksonville where I under went multipule surgery to keep me alive.When I awoke serveral weeks later Mr.Ashtons... partner was standing with my wife at my bedside.My wife hired his firm to help us out in this time of need a couple of weeks earlier,which I had no idea she did this because I was in a medicated coma.But after almost two years Iam glad she selected his firm to represent us.When I woke up with my wife and Mr.Ashton partner Mr,Hardesty at my beside I learned that I lost all sight in my one eye and had very little vision in other eye.His partner told me that the will do everything possible to help us out in this time of need.he also told me that if I ever wanted to talk just pick up the phone and do so,even if I just wanted to cry.He also said if I ever call his office and didn't like the way his staff handled things to call him or mr.Ashton.We didn't live in the Jacksonville area but that didn't stop Mr.Ashton or his firm for keeping us posted on what was going on.If we every need legal help in the future we will us Mr.Ashton's firm again.We came out of all this with some great friends from Mr.Ashton himself and his staff behind the scenes.if your lookinf for a good Lawyer Mr.Ashton and his Firm is it.

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.
