What Some Jury Members and Clients
-Michael G., Former Client
-Veronica A., Former Client
"Thank you very much for all the work that you did on our behalf. I really appreciate everything that you all did, as well as your professionalism and the timely manner in which you got things done.
Also, please give our thanks to your staff who were so helpful when we had questions! If we have need of your services or if we know anyone else who does anytime in the future, we will certainly give you a call! Thank you again for everything."
"A little over two years ago I received a telephone call that all parents dread to hear. The person on the other line simply said, “Your daughter has been in an accident”. Well here I was 1500 miles away from her , trying to absorb the rest of the conversation, trying to stay focused enough to get the details. Shortly after I arrived in Texas my lovely daughter of 38 years passed away from injuries sustained from a motorcycle accident.
I won’t continue this story, however what I will say is, when things calmed down a little, I knew I must become a voice for my daughter. Though a chain of events our family was introduced to the Ammons Law Firm of Houston, Texas.
From the first initial contact with Mr. Robert Ammons and his staff, I hung up the telephone feeling as if I and my family were in good hands. We had constant contact from Ohio to Texas via the telephone and the computer for two years. The staff made all the arrangements anytime I had to fly to Texas and made sure I had comfortable accommodations while I was there.
My family and I were kept abreast of the progress for our case on a regular basis. Anytime I had any questions, the staff was polite, informative, and punctual with the answers.
I am very satisfied with the level of concern and commitment Mr. Ammons and his staff displayed from the beginning to the conclusion of our association.
I would highly recommend this law firm to anyone who might be seeking one.
Thank You Mr. Ammons and your staff."
This was my first case to be on a jury. I really connected to the attorneys and the family."
Bennett cares for the well being of my children and me, and is truly sincere. During the two years of my lawsuit and throughout the trial, Bennett was there to answer any questions or concerns I had. I am grateful for all of his hard work, advice, and support.
The Ammons Law Firm believed in my late husband and what I was fighting for. They brought out the truth, and brought justice to his name. The friendships that were made with the attorneys of the Ammons Law Firm will be life long. I could not have done this without them."
-Candee P., Former client
"I was totally happy with Rob Ammons and the lawyers at the Ammons Law Firm. Rob Ammons went the extra mile. I am beside myself. I feel so good with the settlement they obtained."
-Christopher R., Former Client
"Thank you for everything, this [incident] has been the worst thing that can ever happen to anyone. But thank God we have a great support system. Again thank you sooo much from the bottom of our hearts."

Tour Bus Driver Napping Before Accident03/14/2011 9:54 AM
NEW YORK - The driver of a tour bus that crashed on a New York highway told police that he took a nap in the vehicle just hours before Saturday's accident that killed 15 people, NBC New York reported Monday.
Bus driver Ophadell Williams, 40, arrived at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Conn. around 11 p.m. on Friday to drop off passengers, sources told NBC New York.
Williams then slept in a casino parking lot until he was called back to pick up a group for a trip to New York at 3 a.m. on Saturday, investigators said.
The bus crashed on I-95 in the Bronx at around 5:30 a.m., skidding into a highway sign post which sheared the bus from front to back along the window line.
Distracted or tired?
NBC New York reported that some passengers said the bus seemed to be drifting in and out of lanes, hitting rumble strips on the side of the highway. Some told police they feared the driver was tired or distracted.
According to reports, Williams passed a breath test at the scene.
Officials stress operator error is just one theory they are investigating based on passenger statements, NBC New York said.
A 15th victim died at around 7:30 a.m. Monday, police said. The 70-year-old man's name and the names of 14 others haven't been released.
The National Transportation Safety Board will analyze footage from the camera that faced passengers and will also examine an engine control module that may indicate how fast the bus was going.
Passengers and witnesses have told investigators that the driver's account of getting clipped by a tractor-trailer didn't match up to what they felt and saw before Saturday's crash.
A preliminary inspection of the truck revealed no evidence of any collision or contact between the bus or the truck, NBC New York reported.
According to the NTSB, the bus, which was carrying 31 passengers to Manhattan's Chinatown, slid for 480 feet before it came to a stop.
State police said the bus may have been speeding faster than the 55 mph limit.
'He feels upset'
The driver's wife, Holly, told the New York Daily News that Williams "feels like he's at fault."
"But I told him it's not his fault - it's an accident. He feels upset that a lot of people died on his bus."
World Wide Travel, the tour bus company , said in a statement that the company will cooperate with the investigation.
