Satisfied Client
He walked me through the entire process and what to expect at court. He was able to get my case reduced to a much lesser charge...I was extremely satisfied with his service, guidance and the outcome. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a reasonably priced attorney.

Breeze in the court
Mr. Davis made the court time a breeze. We were in and out in less than 10 minutes and driving home. He knows what he is doing. I hope not to need his help anymore but if I do, he will be who I will call

Traffic Ticket
Mr. Davis is an amazing lawyer. He helped me with my traffic ticket and completely reduced my ticket. I gave everyone I know his name and number if they ever needed someone for traffic tickets. If you need someone he is the best and amazing!

"Michael is a trial lawyer. That's how he wins a majority of his cases by formulating an effective defense and making sound legal arguments to achieve victory in the courtroom. It also helps immensely that Michael is well-respected and well-known by the legal community for his skills as a lawyer and professionalism, but also for the experience he has as a former police officer. Michael's clients can rest assure that they have a focused and determined lawyer who knows law and how to win cases. I highly endorse Mr. Davis."

"Michael is a strong advocate for his clients. His background in law enforcement provides him a depth of understanding and experience in criminal matters that many attorneys do not possess. If I ever needed a criminal defense attorney, I would call Michael."
"Michael Davis is the epitome of an outstanding criminal defense attorney. I have personally observed Michael Davis in court win numerous jury trials on "unwinnable" life-sentence felony cases. I credit his success and outstanding results to his zeal, hard work and aggressive style of litigation. I am confident that each and every client of his will be in great hands. I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse Michael. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community."
"I endorse this lawyer. There is none better. Smart, hard-working, diligent, aggressive with a never-say-die attitude, Mike is the total package. I've never met an attorney who will fight harder to obtain the best possible result for his clients."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Mike has a great technical knowledge of many issues that are very valuable in defending Criminal and DWI cases in Virginia. Mike has recently moved his practice from Fairfax to Virginia Beach. With his statewide network of attorney contacts, I'm sure he will be very successful there!"
