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!

A humble experience.
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.

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

Thank you Michael Davis
I hired Michael to handle my speeding ticket while visiting VA. He was able to have it reduced from a criminal offense to just a speeding ticket. He was also able to represent me when I wasn't able to be present. He was professional and I would hire him again in a heartbeat if I needed him.

Traffic ticket
Mr Davis is really good I would try to hire him before his spots fills up he take care of business in the court room. I had a reckless driving ticket in VA and wasn't happy at all for 2 months but when I left the court I had a big smile on my face because he did his job to get me out of it.

Quick Process
Michael S, Davis was an amazing attorney. He made the whole court process quick and easy. He actually cared about getting the lowest charge possible and was very specific on his advice. He is very kind and was able to calm me down from being scared about court. He helped me reduce my 92/65 to a 89/65 and lowered the charge from a misdemeanor to a simple speeding charge. Definitely will hire again if needed.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.
I was arrested for a DUI. I was not driving nor did the police see me driving. My car was turned off, parked in a driveway and I was drinking a beer in the garage when they showed up but it still ended with me being charged with driving under the influence. All that said, I knew I needed it hire an attorney; Michael Davis was the best one I could’ve possibly hired. I was very impressed with how much information and input he’d given me during our consultation and I decided to hire him the next day. It’s understandably difficult not to be nervous when facing a potential DUI conviction, but his confidence and knowledge kept me hopeful that the charge would be dismissed, as this seemed to be a completely invalid arrest. He worked very quickly to get/review the evidence and I was kept in the loop through the whole process. He was persistent in trying to reach the prosecutor to explain the situation in hopes of having the charge dropped before my court date. A little while ago, Michael Davis called to inform me that he had gotten a chance to speak with the prosecutor today and after explaining my case to her, she agreed to drop the charge. My trial would’ve been tomorrow morning. Michael Davis helped me out of what could’ve been a very awful situation and I am so happy I hired him. He is a fantastic lawyer, worth every penny, and I would recommend him to anyone.

Traffic court
I called Mr.Davis about a traffic ticket I got.He explained how he would handle it without me hiring him first. I liked what he said so I hired him. He did his research on the case so when we went to court he was ready. Thanks to Mr.Davis it was dismissed.I would hire Mr.Davis and recommend him to everyone.

Heavy Foot
On the Fourth of July I was on vacation in Virginia and I received a speeding ticket on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. The ticket had a court date for me to show up back in Virginia which would’ve been tough because I live in New York.
I connected with Attorney Michael Davis. Good thing I did. From my initial consultation he explained everything that was going to happen from the A to the Z. When my court date came he represented me in my absence and resolved it the very same day to my satisfaction just as he said he would. I highly recommend you hire Michael Davis as your attorney if you get jammed up.

10/10
Contacted Mr. Davis after receiving a reckless driving ticket, he gave me advice before I committed to hiring him to help with the case, and walked me through everything after I did. He was always available for any questions I had and was honest about my situation. He was able to work with my schedule and multiple rescheduled court dates due to covid, and gave me a military discount on top of it all. He got my charge down to an improper driving, saved me money and points on my license. I hope to never need him again, but if I do I will call Micheal Davis first every time.
