Franklin represented me for a long-standing citation I had failed to resolve. He was extremely knowledgeable in explaining the resolution process. He handled my case quickly and thoroughly and kept me informed throughout the matter. Franklin was always honest and professional and was able to get my case expunged. I would highly recommend him.

Criminal Defense

Posted by

I was looking at 3-5 years in a federal prison for a couple of felonies and a couple of misdemeanors. Mr. Ammons was able to get all of my charges dismissed and expundged with only a year of probation. He is very professional, friendly, accessible, punctual, and capable. I highly recommend Mr. Ammons and will definitely be using him for future legal advise and defense.
