Very Professional

We were in need of some probate advice for a house I own in Orange County Fl and Billy was extremely informative and knowledgeable on the legal issues that I had run in to trying to sell my house. He explained everything in a way that totally gave me clarity for the decisions I needed to make. My... current husband and I will be making an appointment soon to have the law firm help us with our wills and another personal issue. Will definitely refer others in need of legal advice to The Davie Law Firm.

Administrative Assistant

William (Billy) Davie has been very helpful in answering my questions regarding wills and other legal matters. Mr. Davie listens and then gives legal advice in a way that makes sense. He treated me with kindness and respect. I found him to be honest and fair. He gets the job done in a no-nonsense typ...e of way. Should the need arise, I will definitely call on him again.

Confused and Unhappy

I hired Billy Davie in March of 2017 cause he told me I had a good case and met the three requirements for my case. Then 5 months later he gave my case to another lawyer without my knowledge and approval and didn’t find out till 3 weeks later. Then after leading me on for 15 months he tells me at my ...deposition and 9,000 dollars later no Will,no case.So not only did I loose my case, I lost a lot of money too. He did a 360 turn on me and got on the side of my dependents not me. Most of the money I paid him for was nonsense phone calls and very little work. I even got double charged on some of the calls and got charged for calls that were never made.

Coordinator

William is an excellent lawyer. He is very Knowledgeable, experienced courteous and patient explaining legal terms. Took care of my will is less time than expected. The office staff was very helpful and friendly. Fees were fair and wouldn't mind going to Green Cove Springs if in need of legal assist...ance (Jacksonville resident)

Estate Planning

Billie helped us do a Lady Bird Deed for my aging mother. Now that she has passed away we do not have to do any probate since her house was all she had. Saved us tons of money and headache. Very pleased. He redid our will also.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • 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.
