Breeze in the court

Posted by

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

Posted by

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!

A humble experience.

Posted by

Mr Davis represented me in a accident case, where I was wrongfully charged. He was very detailed and meticulous in his approach to my representation. I couldn’t be more happier with his approach, that he put together in my defense. Most importantly, he has a most reasonable rate for his level of expertise. I’m very grateful on the guidance through the entire experience. I highly recommend others to seek his counsel.

Great Attorney!

Mr. Davis did an exceptional job. My nephew received a wreck less driving ticket in Chesapeake, VA while driving back home to Florida. Mr. Davis advised us of a few things we could complete prior to the court date to lesson the offense and kept in communication prior to the court date. He was able to get the offense lowered to a regular speeding ticket without my nephew having to travel back to VA from FL and minimal court fee. He was also affordable too! We would recommend never speeding in Chesapeake, VA and if you do please hire Mr. Davis if you need representation.

Reckless Driving

Mr. Davis gave me phenomenal advice about how and what I needed to do to get the case knocked down to the lowest possible result. He did everything he needed to for me to succeed. I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a lawyer to represent them.

Mr. Michael Davis represented me so well in court, I got my case dismissed for reckless driving. His pricing isn’t bad either. I recommend him for any motor vehicle related case you may have

Ekaterina Huff, Criminal defense Attorney on Feb 27, 2020

I have known Mr. Davis for several years and can attest to the fact that he obtains incredible outcomes on all of his cases. His wealth of experience allows him to obtain these results. He is a true asset to his community. I highly endorse this lawyer.

Alberto Salvado, Criminal defense Attorney on Jun 13, 2019
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I endorse this lawyer. Michael and I handled similar cases for over a decade. It was an unfortunate blow for the Northern Virginia area when he moved to Norfolk. However, our loss is that areas gain!

Joseph Yoon, Criminal defense Attorney on Apr 26, 2018
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

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.

Larry Bowen, Criminal defense Attorney on Apr 19, 2018
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I have known Michael for nearly two decades. He is a top shelf attorney who does exceptional work for his clients. His skill and knowledge sets him apart from other lawyers. I have referred many people to him and will continue to do so.

Barbara Fuller, Criminal defense Attorney on Mar 28, 2018
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

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 Huff, Criminal defense Attorney on Nov 2, 2016
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

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.

Michael Waddington, Criminal defense Attorney on May 28, 2014
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I endorse Michael. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community.

Michael Sprano, Criminal defense Attorney on Nov 17, 2010
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in 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.

Paul McGlone, Criminal defense Attorney on Dec 26, 2009
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

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!
