What Some Jury Members and Clients
Say About Ammons Law Firm Lawyers


"I felt that Ammons and Midlo did a really great job - especially Mr. Ammons. He was the BEST to my eyes! He was very convincing and lead the trial - no doubt! It was very easy to follow his reasoning. I never knew if it was the right amount....Anything less, I felt, would have been a slap in the face. The family deserved it.

This was my first case to be on a jury. I really connected to the attorneys and the family."

-Alondra T., Jury member

 
"Rob believed in my case and my family from the start and was by my side until the very end. I appreciate all the effort and hard work Rob put in during my trial. Rob was a passionate advocate for my children and me. I felt secure knowing he was representing me, and I was definitely glad he was on my side!

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., Client,  82.5 million dollar verdict

 


"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., 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."
