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."

Tire Defect Lawyer
Print pageSince the Firestone tire recall of 2000, the public has learned just how dangerous the tires on our vehicles can really be. Rob Ammons of the Ammons Law Firm brought to the public's awareness the potential dangers of badly manufactured or designed tires when he represented a number of plaintiffs with this issue.
Click here to make sure your tires are safe.
Unfortunately tire manufacturer recalls are not uncommon. In fact, every major tire manufacturer—Ford Firestone, Uniroyal, Dunlop, and Cooper has issued recalls but sadly these recalls only come after a significant number of consumers had been injured or killed by defective tires.
The tire defect lawyers at The Ammons Law Firm are well versed in the what causes defective tires to separate and cause a crash. These defective tire accidents can become the direct cause of a catastrophic injury or wrongful death.
Ammons Law Firm attorney Bennett Midlo recently appeared on Fox news to talk about the dangers of aging tires and how to determine if your tires are too old to drive on.
Midlo taught viewers to check the last two digits on their car tires stamped DOT number. Those numbers indicate the year of manufacture for the tires. Any tire over 6 years old is at great risk for tread separation and blowout because the rubber degrades due to exposure of oxygen.
If you are the victim of an accident caused by a defective tire call one of our tire defect lawyers at The Ammons Law Firm.
Tire Recall Alert
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has announced the recall of 127,183 Firestone FR380 tires, size P235/75R15 because of a potential safety defect.
The tires were manufactured between September 2007 and July 2008, and were produced with insufficient tread base gauge. Continued use of those tires may lead to vibration and groove cracking, while extended use could lead to tread distortion or tread separation and a loss of vehicle control.
