ToggleTony Ashford brings over 25 years of litigation experience to Ashford DiMartino & Jones. He specializes in representing residential and commercial policyholders in complex disputes involving insurance delay, denial, and underpayment.
The “Insider” Advantage
Unlike many practitioners, Tony began his career working within Special Investigation Units (SIU) for insurance companies.
