Will Ashe, Esq.

"When somebody says, ‘How can you defend someone?' My answer is, ‘How could I not?'"

Personalized Legal Representation – Your Defense Attorney

The law does not differentiate between a 45-year-old tenured professor and a 20-something homeless youth with a drug problem, so neither do I. I will meet you on your terms and find the best possible defense for the accusations lined up against you that your context permits.

Ensuring More Than Just Your Legal Defense

While criminal defense is at the heart of what I do, I lend my passion, voice, and experience to nearly any legal trouble you are facing in Maine.  Whether that is standing up for you in courtroom litigation or helping you file the paperwork you need to keep your child, I take my role as your advocate seriously and thoroughly.

Your Voice In Courtroom Conflicts

Regardless of whether I am helping you avoid a decade of prison time or helping you get out from under an OUI charge, I will seize every opportunity to secure a win for you in the courtroom. Defending your interests also means helping you understand the courtroom battle as it occurs: I make sure you become aware of the context, consequences, and options for all litigation I am involved in.

Locally And Nationally Recognized Trial Powerhouse

I acquired a taste for law and trial litigation early and have not let go since — and I am proud to say that my efforts to perfect this art have not gone unnoticed over the years.

  • I was named as one of the National Trial Lawyers Top 100 Criminal Defense Attorneys for seven consecutive years.
  • I was honored to be among the Top 10 Under 40 in Criminal Defense by the National Academy of Criminal Defense Attorneys.
  • I have a perfect 10/10 legal rating from Avvo.

This recognition means very much to me, but the truth is, the real achievement I measure my success by is the difference I have been able to make for my clients at these critical junctures in their lives.

When, out of 40 defendants picked out by an undercover operation, my client was the only one who walked away without a conviction, I know I did my job well.

A Deep-Seated Passion For Criminal Defense

For as long as I can remember, criminal defense has been the career I wanted and worked towards. Going up against the state, ensuring the rights of each and every citizen are upheld, and finding clever and nuanced ways to apply law and legal principles is the reason I get up in the morning. That passion is why I have always held myself to an exacting personal standard to make the biggest and most meaningful difference possible in every case I have the privilege to work on.

Charged With A Criminal Offense In Maine? Call Me.

I opened my own private practice because I felt, even at my previous law firm, that I was not able to give the exacting and impactful legal service my clients deserved.

Now I can dedicate myself entirely to each case, anywhere in Maine, to ensure the best possible outcome for you — but only if you contact me early enough in the process to change the outcome. Do not wait until it is too late; call my office today.
