A Winning lawyer

Ms. Davis was hired to obtain a trademark with the USPTO for my company logo. Michelle has in-depth knowledge in the area of Trademark and Patent Law; her keen insights helped in providing appropriate descriptions of the logo and the trademark was approved. In addition, she willingly helped with so...me other legal issues. Besides exceeding my expectation in her expertise, Michelle has an easy going personality, and a generous nature. I would highly recommend Michelle Davis as an attorney without any hesitation.

Excellent Service

I recently started by own business and needed to develop a services agreement quickly, as well as guidance on a number of other issues. Michelle was extremely quick to respond and worked within my tight turnaround time. She was helpful in walking me through the process and asking the right questions,... making sure I was covered in areas I may not have considered. She made the whole process extremely simple for me, as well as fun - she is kind, cheerful and genuinely cares about helping people establish new businesses. I would recommend her highly!

Entertainment Law

I was referred to Michelle for some copyright work by a real professional in the entertainment business. I'm a lawyer who fools around with music, and I could not have been happier with the referral. Michelle laid out exactly what I needed to do to help her do the job I needed done. She was persi...stent and professional, and the fees were appropriate. I enjoyed working with her, and the work product was great.

Business Formation

I was referred to Davis Law by the Four Athens tech incubator for the business's formation. Michelle was incredibly helpful from the first e-mail. By laying out the different steps, forms and fees involved in starting a business, Ms. Davis made the process simple and clear for me.

Great asset for new entrepreneur

I was nervous about hiring an attorney because I have never had occasion to need one before, but Michelle was so helpful and so easy to work with. She responded to all my emails and calls and questions, and when she didn't have an answer right away, she would do the research and get back to me with a... thorough response. With her guidance I was able to get my new business off the ground, and I hoping to work with her in the future on a few IP issues.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
