DUI case with Ashby

Ashby took my DUI case for $1500 in which i paid him in full, up front and immediately. This was a mistake! His motto is either 'you get what you pay for' or he plain lacks compassion, drive and does not care to uphold the ethics of a lawyer. Ashby did the absolute minimal for me. He is uncommunicati...ve and only communicates by text. He will promise time after time to "call you in the morning" and always fails to keep his promise. I also have text messages and emails where I have asked Ashby for copies from his last appearances, etc. and with a confirmation that he will do so, he does not. Ashby did not review or study my police reports properly nor did he provide me with a copy. There were many discrepancies he could have rebutted. It was only after obtaining copies, doing my own research and seeing the judge personally that I found my case could have had a more positive outcome. Unfortunately I had to re-open the case and start all over thanks to a compassionate and understanding judge. My prompt and earnest payment to Ashby was worthless and in vain. Please consider a more serious lawyer with stronger and higher ethics.

There is so much that is completely false about this review. This is one of the very few people that I have come across in my entire life that is just absolutely unhappy no matter what. Someone who will never take responsibility for their actions and will always blame someone else. My advice to anyone that may read this: come to court when your lawyer suggests that you showing up personally will help your case.

Great Lawyer - Plain and Simple

Ashby's representation was great. Prosecution was not willing to deal on a overly aggressive original charge for four felonies. Ashby's don't take no for answer attitude lead us to the case being brought down to ONE misdemeanor, a fair fine, and community service. He was always available to answer... any questions I had. He never fed me any false information and was always a straight shooter and always kept my needs as a top priority. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone requiring representation for any case!

Helpful defensive attorney!

Mr. Sorensen is, in my humble opinion, a helpful, conscientious, ethical attorney. He proved himself to be an effective communicator whether through texts, emails, iPhone, land-line phone, or in person. He performed excellent, beneficial research and conducted meticulous interviews for my case. ...I recently had a domestic abuse case and shed full light on the entire circumstances. I won’t go into too much detail about the accusation, but I was only protecting my 13-year-old son from a 41-year-old female pedophile. I never hit the woman and only forcefully removed her from the boy’s bedroom when she refused to leave. I’m extremely grateful to Mr. Sorensen. He possesses great acumen, and It’s a true blessing to have him in the justice system.
