The owner of The Ashley Law Firm in New York City, New York, Mitchel H. Ashley strives to provide judicious legal representation to clients across a wide range of legal matters involving motor vehicle accidents, environmental accidents, dog bites, medical malpractice, police misconduct, nail salon injuries, and train and subway accidents.
Mr. Ashley completed his undergraduate studies in 1987, graduating with his Bachelor of Science degree in political science from the University of Rochester. He went on to attend the Maurice A. Deane School of Law at Hofstra University, where he sharpened his shrewd legal acumen and talents that remain pertinent in his practice today. During his time in law school, he was president of the Student Bar Association and served in the capacity of an associate at a small, local firm – a decision that would change his trajectory from the world of business to personal injury law. He received his Juris Doctor in 1993, and a year later, he obtained his license to practice law in New York.
With a venerable track record that speaks for itself, Mr. Ashley never backs down from a challenge, instead opting to utilize every available resource to remove the legal obstacles that stand in the way of providing his clients with the compensation they deserve. Some of his notable verdicts and settlements include $12 million in a toxic waste poisoning case, $5.5 million in a car accident case, $5.4 million in a medical malpractice case and $6 million in a motor vehicle accident case.
Outside his law practice, Mr. Ashley maintains close affiliations with numerous legal organizations, including the New York State Trial Lawyers Association, the New York State Bar Association and the New York County Lawyers Association. For his many contributions to the legal field, he has been rated “Very Good” on Avvo and hosts positive client testimonials on the site as well.
