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.

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! ...

I hired him then... I've read his reviews.
I hired Mr. Davis about a year ago, then recently came here to read the positive & negative reviews. I've hired Monte for three separate cases. Two of which were DUI charges, one of which a very bad auto accident was involved. We came out on top, the charges were reduced with only reckless driving c...

Consistent Representation with excellent results
I was charged twice with DUI in the span of one year and a week. Mr. Davis collaborated with me to develop the best case possible with the lowest impact to my personal and professional life. In fact, both charges were successfully plead down to Reckless Driving by Mr. Davis. This would have been ...

"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. We spent a lot of time working together to prepare that case for trial and had great success with the jury ultimately acquitting both of our clients of the felony charges."
"I endorse this lawyer. Monte Davis is a knowledgeable and tenacious lawyer. His appellate work is legendary among fellow defense lawyers. He fights hard for his clients. I send Monte clients in his area of the state on a frequent basis. I am proud to endorse the skills, abilities and ethics of this fine defense attorney."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked with Monte for several years and his ability in the courtroom is exceptional and he works zealously to defend his clients' position."
"As a Assistant District Attorney i prosecuted multiple defendants represented by Mr. Davis. I always found him to be a zealous advocate on the behalf of his clients. He always seemed well aware of the facts of his clients' cases and the applicable law governing their charges. While Mr. Davis and I have had numerous disagreement over cases, i have always found him to be a professional and fully endorse his services"
"I endorse this lawyer. Monte is a highly skilled attorney. It's in his family DNA having grown up watching and learning from his father a seasoned prosecutor and trial lawyer who handled personal injury cases. Monte cares for his clients and truly enjoys helping those in need."
"I endorse this lawyer. I’ve known Monte for over 20 years. I’ve seen him in action, and he vigorously defends his clients. Sometimes, his case might get contentious because he is so vigorous in his defense, but the judges and prosecutors know that they cannot push him around. He is always very articulate and prepared."
"I've known and respected Monte since the mid 90's in law school. He's smart. He's tough. He's thorough. He treats his clients as though they are under his charge and you WILL go through him if you try to get to them."
"As a lawyer in solo practice in Northwest Georgia, Monte and I have worked together on no fewer than ten (10) criminal (co-defendant) cases. Monte invests and involves himself into and with every case I have known him to have. He balances perfectly working with other lawyers in a case while protecting and advancing his client's case. Steven A. Miller, Esq., Summerville, Georgia"
