Absolutely a great experience

From the consult to the settlement just a great experience. John was responsive and accurate in all his advice. More important he was honest and up front about expectations. Great communicator and always replied to my emails. I would hire him again without hesitation.

10 Star Attorney

John is an incredible attorney. Unlike so many lawyers, John vigorously (and masterfully) dedicates himself to protecting and fighting for his clients - in that order (which is a rare quality in lawyers today). I came to John with an employment discrimination case. He went above and beyond to check-i...n with me regularly and update me, he was extremely prompt to return my calls or emails (even when he was on vacation) and, frankly, John was 10 steps ahead of opposing counsel at every turn. I pity any lawyer who has to go toe-to-toe against John. His experience, skill, and commitment secured for me the best possible outcome in my case, and I remain immensely grateful to him. It was a privilege and a pleasure to have John in my corner.

Highly Recommend

John and the team did an incredible job handling a wage related dispute. They are responsive and highly collaborative with clients, and bring a wealth of expertise that helped settle my case in a very short timeframe.

Never gave up

I couldn’t have done it without John. He was great at communicating and pleading my case to the MCAD and communicating/negotiating with my employer. He was patient and listened while providing helpful insight throughout the whole process. He made it clear to the other lawyers that we were never go...ing to give up until trial or there was a fair and equitable settlement. I really appreciate him taking on my case and fighting until the very end.

Great Experience

I went to John Davis in regards to a non-payment by an employer, which also turned into a mis-classification as an IC case, and from Day One the service, communication and treatment Mr. Davis and his associates provided me were second to none. As a younger twenty-something I'm used to not being t...aken very seriously in situations like this. But Mr. Davis treated my relatively small case(financially) and I professionally, with respect and was always available to answer any questions, go into detail on any possible courses of action and took my needs into account. I highly recommend Mr. Davis and his firm Davis and Davis, PC to anyone in need of a great lawyer in the Boston area.

  • 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.
