Best Lawyer You Can Ask For

Mr. Ashworth is an outstanding attorney, and I highly recommend his legal expertise! He is incredibly responsive, takes the time to explain every detail thoroughly, and provides helpful resources when needed. What truly sets Mr. Ashworth apart is his deep understanding of the legal process in Coll...in County, gained from years of experience as a former attorney for the District Attorney’s Office. His personal connections and knowledge provide a distinct advantage in navigating the legal system. Ultimately, my Class A misdemeanor charges were dismissed. I’m truly grateful for Mr. Ashworth’s unwavering dedication, expertise, and support throughout the entire process!

Thank you, Thomas Ashworth!

I hired Thomas Ashworth to help me with a literal nightmare of a case. Thomas ended the case in my favor and worked long and hard to do so. Always keeping me updated and had an excellent way of helping me to understand everything going on. Thank you Thomas for all of your hard work and help. If I eve...r have to hit an attorney again. I will definitely call Thomas Ashworth!

Great Lawyer!

Thomas Ashworth did a great job for our family. He is professional and very responsive. He took the time to explain every step, and never made us feel like he was rushed or unimportant. He was also able to get us the best possible outcome. Highly recommend!

Former client

I highly recommend anyone to retain the legal services of Thomas Ashworth. He is a professional, down to earth attorney, that keeps his client well informed about their case. He spent years as a Collin county prosecutor before going into private practice. During his time as a prosecutor he develope...d a good reputation and relationships in the court. This makes a difference! Believe me. Thomas was very responsive to my emails, calls and text messages. He kept very well informed about my Class B DWI/Open Container. My case ended up in a mistrial. Ultimately having my case dismissed. I’m happy for the positive result.

Great Consultation

Mr. Ashworth gave me a very through, helpful walk through of my misdemeanor charge, what they could do and what I could do. He was very prompt. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend his services.
