Monte is my second attorney in my divorce case. After my first attorney failed to insure things were done in a proper manner, a friend referred me to him. He is very concise and professional. Listen to him and go through the process, you will not be disappointed.
I have had a successful general, family oriented, sole-practice for over 25 years where I have represented thousands of clients charged with criminal misdemeanor and felony charges (including Murder). In the last 5 years though, I have broadened my areas of practice to include more personal injury cases, and family law cases (divorce and child custody/support), contract disputes, and some collections work. With that said, civil litigation (domestic and personal injury) is the direction that I am most interested in going, but I will always have a strong criminal defense background should the need arise.
In a nutshell, I am a passionate and intense, intuitive but realistic, case strategist with a gift of insight which allows me to find creative and often unique ways to either “win” or at least positively “benefit” my clients in plea negotiations, at trial, and/or on appeal. I have strong research and writing skills, a background in psychology, mediation, negotiation, and over 25 years of litigation and appellate experience. In court, I present a well-prepared, organized, confident, professional, and common-sense demeanor that gives me a certain credibility that jurors easily relate to and/or identify with. Out of court, I am a more light-hearted, relaxed, fun-loving and devoted friend, husband, and father of 4 children between the ages of 5 and 16 years of age.

I would highly recommend Mr. Monte K. Davis.
He was extremely professional and always kept me updated on my case. I tried 4 other Attorneys that didn’t work out, before a friend referred Mr. Monte K.
I knew he was the right Attorny for me, when he was straightforward and explained the case and what to expect. He worked with an investigator who’s work was essential to building my defense. I was extremely pleased with his service and for the out come of my case. Absolutely the best Attorney!
I would definitely give Mr. Monte K Davis an excellent rating without any hesitation

Divorce is difficult and complicated
Monte helped me navigate a difficult settlement with my ex. He is a strong negotiator and precise on his details. He held strong when I wanted to just give in. I was struggling to get closure with my first attorney. Monte stepped in and got the job done!

Excellent advisor
Monte has helped me all throughout my DUI process. I got my DUI back on 2016 and the process is still open. Monte has kept up with all updates and has even done very thorough research to find the best option for me once the hearing comes. I highly recommend him.

Great Experience
We initially hired another firm and got the worst results ever. We met Monte in a restaurant and in general told my story and he advised me more than the other attorney ever told us. So they got fired and we hired Monte Davis. He got more information and a quick court date with a release from a possible 10 year sentence to 3 year probation. Could have not been more satisfied with his results. Highly Recommend

Helped Me A Lot
I was wrongfully charged with a DUI while in school and Mr. Davis helped me to get the charges dropped and compensation from the city quickly and painlessly. If I had to go through what I did, I am glad I had his help!

Would recommend to anyone!!
I was appointed Mr. Davis after my original lawyer backed out for "conflict of interest". Best thing that could have happened! Monte was more than prepared to face anything in my case. An absolute dominant force in the courtroom. He's stern and blunt and very attentive. He instills in you a sense of urgency to benefit you and your case. Definitely a lawyer I would hire!!

Will use him again.
I had a charge that I thought would potentially result in a felony. He had them reduced and off my record. When all was said and done it wasn't even a misdemeanor. He was professional. He had respect and consideration for my legal affairs. I will be using him again for any legal concerns.

Eternally grateful for his service
Monte Davis was a beacon of hope to me and my son. When my husband asked for a divorce and full custody of our son I turned to him for help. Not only was Monte able to defend me and my son from losing everything but he was able to get four contempt rewards to help me pay for my divorce. Needless to say I am overjoyed with the result that Monte was able to achieve through his hard work, knowledge of the law, and commitment to my case. I am eternally grateful for his service and I hereby recommend Monte Davis without reservation.

Simply the Best
I heard about Monte via a current inmate in Haralson County Jail during my stay I wasn't getting any help with the court appointed lawyer and then that's when I found out about Monte. I gave him a call and I hired him on the spot. He listened and answered all of my questions. He determined the best strategy for my case. He was concerned about how I was handling it. He was upfront and honest about the outcome.or potential outcome. He is simply the best. I have recommended him to anyone in trouble and in need of a good lawyer. Monte Davis don't play. Thanks for all you have done for me since 2017.

Attorney Monte Davis was outstanding in court. He was very thorough and knowledgeable about my whole case. He was able to get me and my brother out of a heap of trouble. Now, I can enjoy my freedom and family thanks to Monte. I would definitely recommend him to my friends and family. More than an attorney, he become a friend to me.

A True Advocate
Mr. Davis is the epitome of what a true legal advocate should be. From my initial consultation, it was apparent that he not only knew the law but also knew how to make sure that I was not going to be another statistic swept up in the legal quagmire in which so many can easily find themselves. His demeanor, some would say, is brusque and uncaring. I find this not to be true. If you need someone to guide and protect you in a realm that you are not accustomed to, you don’t need someone who will coddle you. You need someone that will articulate the finer points of your case so that you will not be run roughshod over by the powers that be. This is where Mr. Davis separates himself from other attorneys. Mr. Davis gave me the facts, possible outcomes, and what I could expect in my upcoming proceedings. AND HE WAS RIGHT! Mr. Davis defies the preconceived notion of the “shyster” attorney. He cares, first about law, and second, the way that law effects his clients. He, I reiterate, is an example of how the balance can ensure justice between the two. I have seen the other comments by former clients and all that I have to say is, they did not follow Mr. Davis’ advise. The onus for that is upon them. You have to be willing to help yourself, otherwise, no one can help you. Those people want to blame others for their inherit faults. That is on them.

Tough, Creative, and doesn't take any BS
I've known Monte Davis for 20 years. I've seen him in court and he is always prepared. In 2013 I found myself in a child custody dispute with my ex- and Monte was the lawyer I hired. His style was a perfect answer to my wife's Lawyer, and his representation kept me from losing my mind, and the case! Nobody should represent themselves- and I'm a lawyer!

EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE
Attorney Monte Davis has represented me in at least three court cases in 3 different jurisdictions. His vast experience with numerous judges and prosecutors gives him the ability to walk into any courtroom and immediately have the ear of the prosecutor or the judge. These relationships make for a very smooth court experience as well as a fair and equitable outcome. He is currently representing me in a complicated civil suit, and has been nothing but timely and supportive in all responses. I am confident we will prevail / or reach a mutually acceptable settlement in the end.

"I have worked with Monte Davis and endorse his trial advocacy skills. He and I actually tried a case together representing co-defendants in a major felony case.
