About Davis
Biography
I am an Estate Planning, Elder Law, and Accredited VA attorney, practicing in Atlanta, Georgia, and serve all of the State of Georgia. My practice encompasses Wealth Management, Wills, Trusts, all aspects of Elder Law, and I help our Veterans and their widows obtain the Veterans Benefits they have earned through their service to our country. I assist clients who qualify for Aid and Attendance and Homebound benefits.
I am an instrument-rated, multi-engine commercial pilot and retired parachutist (after having broken a leg during a jump in Denver, Colorado), a voracious reader, love sailing off Charleston, and cool, new computer technology that comes onto my radar. I volunteer my time to a number of charitable organizations including SeniorNet, a program to teach seniors how to use computers and the internet, and am an avid fan of Tar Heel basketball.

"I endorse this lawyer. Davis a very good lawyer. He is knowledgeable about all aspects of elder law and estate planning. He is great at finding the right solution for his clients."
"I have known Davis for some time and have found him to be exceptional. He knows the law -- that much can be quickly determined by reading his books and looking at his websites. His background is stellar -- the breadth of experience and knowledge in estate planning and tax. The best thing about Davis -- and other lawyers who know him say the same thing -- is he is truly one of the nicest people you will ever meet. I thought when I first met him "There has to be a catch -- he can't be THIS nice." But he is. He loves to help people and it comes through when you first meet him. I highly recommend him as an estate planning lawyer and I'm honored to call him a friend as well"
