Mr. Rice review

I am so grateful that I found Mr. Rice. Had it not been for him I don't know where my family would be right now. I was hurt on my job and at first my employer was good to me, but soon I realized I was going to need a lawyer. I was recommended to Mr. Rice, and he took care of everything. He was very p...rofessional, he kept me up to date on everything that was happening with the case. He made sure I got all the medical attention I needed including therapy. My case has been settled and I am pleased with the outcome. I would highly recommend Mr. Davis Rice.

My Workers Comp case.

I injured my hand on the job. It was my right hand and I'm right handed. I suffered from a severe contusion to the top of my hand. The physician I saw at the time of my accident worked with me over a week and told me that there was nothing else he could do. He said he had never seen anything like it.... The swelling was so bad he was concerned that it would turn into infection. He placed an order through workers comp for me to see an orthopedic surgeon. It was a month later before workers comp came to approved it. Meanwhile the pain and swelling only got worse. I couldn't work or use my hand in any way. I had no money coming in to pay my bills. I didn't know what to do. It wasn't until I hired Davis Rice and Joy Law firm that my medical needs began to be taken care of. I went through months of physical therapy and in the end I had to have surgery. The whole process took over a year. I was able to go back to work with a minimal disability. I was informed and guided by Davis during the entire ordeal. I felt very confident having Davis represent me. There's no doubt that I would still be waiting on workers comp to help me if I hadn't have hired Davis to represent me. Davis also helped me with a settlement with workers comp that I'm very happy with. I highly recommend Davis and Joy Law Firm if you have been injured on the job.

Workers compensation lawyer | Aug 06

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"I have worked with Davis in my role as the managing partner of the Joye Law Firm for the past three years. I am extremely impressed with the quality of Davis's work, and the dedication he brings to his practice. Davis began his career as a corporate defense lawyer, handling the defense of medical malpractice and other personal injury cases. I met him through a mutual friend and it was apparent to me that his real passion was in the area of helping injured people. I'm glad that our firm was able to find a way to develop a working relationship with him after he relocated back to the upstate. In the time we have worked together, I have never received a client complaint from one of Davis's clients. To the contrary, they have consistently commented about how Davis has become more than just their lawyer because of the level of commitment and caring he brings to their representation. Davis has a bright future ahead of him as a trial lawyer."

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.
