      Review Matthew Davis

      Complicated DSS/CPS case

      Posted by

      Mr. Davis represented my family in a very complicated and emotional CPS/custody case. Mr. Davis was not only an expert in the legalities but he has earned an excellent reputation with the Judges, caseworkers and other attorneys. His ability to work with the other parties as well as navigate the ubiquitous and harrowing issues was invaluable. Mr. Davis was determined to find and secure the best possible outcome for all involved. Mr. Davis is also kind, empathetic, and a man of undeniable integrity. He was generous with not only his time but also his compassion and kindness. Mr. Davis is an asset and exemplary member of his profession! I could not recommend Mr. Davis enough!

      Traffic violation

      Posted by

      Since I live out of town, Matt Davis and his office handled the case efficiently and explained Virginia law etc regarding this case. Especially during this pandemic - he and his staff handled everything as I could not even reach the court.

      Traffic accident

      Posted by

      I had a traffic accident inwhich I was cited for following too closely. My accident was a result of a or collateral to an accident ahead of me which I was unable to stop in time. Mr. Davis was able to plead my case and advocate for a dismisal of all charges and no points with the completion of a safety course.

      My divorce case

      Posted by

      I hired Mr Davis to represent me in my divorce case at a very difficult time of my life. From the very first day he listened and made me feel like a human being not a case. His advices were clear, precise and useful. Every exchange with him and his team was respectful and mindful. Thank to his gentle and professional approach, I was able to put my life back together by gradually sleeping better, eating better and getting my focus back on my carrier. Ultimately, he helped me find my freedom and I’ll be forever grateful to him for this. Thank you Mr Davis.

      Traffic Violation Case

      Posted by

      Matt was very clear about the specifics required and he was too patient. The way he talks gives you so much confidence that you would hire him. The price is very cheaper too compared to other law firms in Virgina. I highly recommend him in your future cases

      Extremely Helpful

      Posted by

      Mr. David was extremely helpful to me. I was in a situation were I felt completely out of control of my child’s life. Mr. Davis spent 40 minutes on the phone with me before I gave him a penny. Because of his advice I felt like I could handle what was happening. He was very knowledgeable and able to answer all my questions and concerns. I did not end up needing to hire him but If I ever have an issue again he will be the first person I call. Mr. Davis is compassionate and kind. Look no further. This guy is amazing.
