Ashton Wartko & Wilgus, LLC

I hired this attorney believing my case would be resolved quickly. I was told the prosecution likely wouldn’t be granted an extension, but later learned that one was allowed without my knowledge. Just days before trial, I discovered that video evidence I had provided long before was "no longer available". At that point, I felt I had to choose between going to trial without what I believed was key evidence or accepting a plea. Based on my personal experience, I would not recommend this attorney…..EVER.

I was appointed Wartko in a CPS case. I WOULD NEVER recommend him. He refussed to meet me. He never returned a phone call. My only contact was in court and a few returned emails that failed to answer any questions. He is arrogant and dissmisive. I provided him with an abundance of documented evidence,. Including the clear violations of the Ohio Revised Code and corisponding, highlighted printed copies for reference. His response was always to cut me off and say that it was not realavent because the state couldn't prove their case. He allowed whitnesses to make false allegations that could easily be proved incorrect with the documents I provided him, and yet he said nothing during trail. When I pleaded with him to address this is, I was treated with the same dismissal. Over a month ago, and during my open case plan I received a letter stating that he "will no longer be practicing law." To my dismay I was appointed to his partner Ashton. Court is next week and I have yet to receive any contact from Ashton. His secretary, is however very nice and know me by voice, thanks to my repeated attempt to receive the legal counsel in accordance with my constitutional rights.

Brian Ashton fought for my girlfriend after the judge overruled what was already agreed to. Thanks man. That means alot to us.

My experience was the exact same as the review below me.
