Did a great job and was there when I needed him and would recommend him for truck accident case
We were involved in a car accident with a commercial vehicle. From the first time we met him, Mr. Ponton was excellent! He not only demonstrated full knowledge of how to handle our situation; he also worked very hard in our favor facilitating a quick and painless resolution to our accident. His response time was outstanding. He also made sure he kept us informed every step of the way. He was referred to us by a previous client, friend of ours; and I would highly recommend and refer him to anyone who is in a similar situation. Thank you Mr. Ponton!
My mom and I never had to hire a lawyer before and was not sure how it worked. After someone hit my car, James Ponton walked us through the process and assured us we wouldn't owe any money and my medical records would be paid for after the case. After less than a year the case is settled and I am not only getting my medical bills paid for, but I am receiving a really check for all of the trouble. I highly reccomend James Ponton as a lawyer and will use him again if anything else occurs.
I enjoyed working with James. He handled everything from finding the doctors i needed after my accident to making sure the bills where paid and my questions where answered. His staff was amazing always very friendly and kind. I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing legal assistance and someone who will fight for you. He has an honest face. :)
It was truly a pleasure working with Ponton Law Firm. My case was handled with grace and concern. Calls were returned the same day. My case was settled in a timely fashion. I couldn't have had a better attorney. James are the BEST !!!
I hired Mr. Ponton because I was in an auto accident and someone hit me from behind. Mr. James Ponton kept me in the loop every step of the way and always spoke to me with respect and kindness. If I emailed or called Mr. Ponton he responded at his earliest convenience which was always within 24 hours if not less and answered all my questions. Thank you Mr. Ponton for helping me through all of this and I appreciate all the time and care you have taken on my case. I could not have asked for a better attorney. Thanks again.
James treated us like family and made sure we were very well informed. I would recommend him to everyone!
James and his staff was an extreme pleasure to work with. Super responsive and pleasant. Broke down all the legal jargon into everyday English. Should the need arise, I will be definitely hiring Mr. Ponton again!
James represented me when a drunk motorcycle driver hit my truck. We filed suit and he did an outstanding job on my case. I was pleased with the recovery and would use him again if I got in another wreck.
James is an amazing attorney! He has helped me and my family on multiple cases. He is the only attorney we trust!
