It has been a really hard past few years for my husband and I after a series of medical issues which were compounded by poor decisions made by doctors. Years of agonizing pain led my husband to a bad place where he unfortunately made some poor choices seeking an avenue to alleviate his suffering. Those decisions had some very serious legal ramifications which led us to retain Mr. Ashley. We are beyond grateful that he was there to represent my husband. He went above and beyond to really get a true understanding of what led my husband to this point and to get to know the man and the family behind the police report. He was so compassionate and truly empathized with our situation. He listened to our concerns and where most lawyers I believe would be closed minded to allowing their clients to be a part of building a defense or contributing their opinions, he was very open, responsive and even welcomed our contributions. He fought for us as if we were family. He came to our home, met us in our environment, met our children, and really truly went out of his way to see us for who we are. There is such a huge stigma when it comes to the charges that my husband faced. He's been looked down upon by almost every doctor etc., treated as less than. But Mr. Ashley never once made him feel like less of a person. He saw our situation for what it truly was, and I honestly believe cared/cares about us. The day of the trial when he got word that the states attorney was dropping the felony charge when he came to tell us the news we saw actual tears in his eyes. Happy tears. He knew that my husband wasn't going to taken away from his wife and children, that my husband didn't have to plea guilty to a charge that he was innocent of. (He was actually innocent of the felony charge but there was "case law" that would have been enough to get the conviction. That's a hard pill to swallow.) When leaving the court room, he asked that we stay in touch with him. And it seemed so genuine and sincere.
God forbid that we would need to retain his services again, but if we ever do need a lawyer in the future we have found, without questions, our attorney for life. But not just a lawyer, we have found a truly great man, a friend that we hope to have for years to come. I never thought going into this that I would be writing a review about our lawyer and the friendship that we formed.
Thank you Mr. Ashley. My husband's mistake was a big one, he knows that and he is grateful every day that it wasn't worse than it was and that no one got hurt. He understands the severity of his actions and has taken enormous steps to keep it from happening again. Because of you, he can continue to work on himself AND our children have their father, and I have my husband. Thank you for not just accepting the deal that the states attorney presented. Thank you for fighting for him, for us, for our family. We will be forever grateful to you.
Anyone looking for a great lawyer, a lawyer that will look beyond the police report to see the person and the family, a lawyer that fights for you and works with you, that involves you in your own case and is willing to listen to your thoughts, I highly recommend that you retain Mr. Joseph Ashley.
I can't say it enough. Thank you Mr. Ashley.
