Stressful time, John helped me through it.

I contacted John Davis for assistance on a settlement/severance from my previous employer. I am fairly young and have no experience in negotiating or dealing with these matters. It was an uncomfortable and unexpected separation from a company I had spent many years at. John was very informative and r...esponsive in guiding me through the entire process. In the end, it was his advice that helped come to a conclusion that helped ease my mind and let go of the stress. I highly recommend John for any employment issues you may have. My experience was so positive that I returned to the same firm the same month for family legal issues and was referred to another attorney at the firm. We are still in the middle of our family case but the attorney we have been working with has been wonderful as well.

Great Law Firm

I hired John for a employment/sexual harrassment issue. From the first day until the last day I was always informed of everything. John explained everything to me. After all I had been through with my employer I just wanted, this behind me. After all was said and done John got me and amazing settlem...ent. I would recomend any to John. Thank you John Davis.

The BEST lawyer

I only wish I had found John Davis sooner. I endured two lengthy sexual harassment issues at my past place of employment that caused me to quit, and resulted in severe anxiety. John was responsive, professional, and personable, and had my matter settled so much quicker than I thought it would. DEFINI...TELY hire John -- he will save you so much stress (and this is coming from someone who had zero luck with lawyers in the past).

Advocate and Partner

John represented me during a dispute with an employer. He was professional, available, courteous, and relentless as my advocate in this instance. I would immediately recommend John to anyone looking for a tenacious and personal advocacy representative in any dispute.

Employer issue

I had the opportunity to work with John to resolve a fraud issue with my former employer. John and his team were excellent. They clearly communicated the process, were diligent, and kept me informed throughout the entire process. It took a little over 18 months to get everything settled. John was... very fair and professional over this period, not charging me for every five minute follow up or question. In the end we were able to reach a settlement and I was very pleased with the process.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
