This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Knowledgeable and talented attorney!!

Christopher Davis and his team are unsurpassed for representing their clients’ interests, from start to finish. I felt that my case was of utmost importance to Mr. Davis. I really appreciated Mr. Davis’ excellent handling of my case. Honestly, Mr. Davis and his team turned my nightmare into a very po...sitive experience. His firm represented my employment case against my former employer. I would recommend this attorney with the highest ratings.

Excellent Attorney

Chris willingly took my case from the get go when my former employer tried to screw me over. He was persistent and straight forward. He got me a settlement quickly. He is very easy to work with as he makes his clients priority.

Smart & Experienced Employment Lawyer

I consulted with Chris to negotiate a severance package with my employer. He was smart, sympathetic, and extremely savvy. I felt like I was in good hands as he reviewed my case for potential legal claims. Chris is also knowledgeable about the way severance negotiations play out in different industrie...s, so he was able to give me very concrete and relevant advice. Chris was straightforward and trustworthy, and I strongly recommend him as a lawyer.

Excellent attorney

I was referred to Chris by a friend who is also an attorney and knew him through work. I owe my friend a favor because from our first call to execution of the settlement agreement, Chris was excellent. My case was very fact-specific and Chris and his staff took the time to ensure they had the necessa...ry understanding to effectively represent me. I expected a knockdown, drag-out fight but Chris's approach resulted in a fairly quick and painless resolution that was favorable to me. I could not recommend him more highly.

Perseverence +++++

Chris let the client who wouldn't pay me know from day one they were not going to get away with it. He kept the pressure on them and had them rocked back on their heels playing defense. He resolved my issue quickly and in my favor. With me, he was clear, professional, strategic and respectful. With t...he bad guys, he was their nightmare. He had a great strategy that used my fees to the best effect, kept costs down, and expedited the solution.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
