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!!

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.

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!

Professional and Hard Working

The service I received from Mr. Davis was beyond my expectations. He was professional, hard working, and went out of his way to make sure my needs were met.

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 dem...eanor, 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.

"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."

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2021.

Public Reprimand issued in GA, 2021

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
