Absolutely Amazing

Mr. Davis handled my divorce in 2010 and he was absolutely amazing! He also helped with some driving tickets along the way. He is now handling another case for me. He is very upfront & does not sugar coat anything. He is the best!

Excellent

I hired Robert Davis on a DUI case. He handle my case in a professional and quick manner. I would recommend him on any legal situation that you have.

Excellent attorney- highly recommend!

My family hired Bob for a very serious, egregious case that was filed against a family member. He managed the process from start to finish with deliberate and effective steps. The outcome was in our favor, and we could not be more grateful to Bob for his kindness and expertise. Highly recommend!!

Rude with no communication

He starts out as though he is compassionate and then a few months later you learn the real Bob. He will tell you what you wish to hear and then you don't hear from him. If you call his office his secretary Kim is extremely rude and hateful. I thought this was just her but over the course of dealing w...ith Bob for almost 2 years I have learned he is more rude than her. He won't call you back and when you've left multiple messages he responds as though you are interupting his life! I divorced a narcisisst and found the exact same thing in a lawyer. He didn't fight back at any of the hearings we had. I went to him cause he seemed knowledgeable the law. He even had incorrect information at the hearing!! He's extremely incompetent!! My ex hasn't paid myself or Bob and yet he won't file contempt charges. I spoke with him on Mar. 12, 2019 and it is now April1, 2019 and I've heard nothing from him. This isn't unusual. He will go months without any communication! Do yourself a favor and find a lawyer that fights for you and not just about getting his money!!

Outstanding

I can't praise Robert C. Davis enough. He did such an outstanding job for my daughter when hired for her criminal case that we again hired him to handle her foreclosure, divorce, child dependency, and child support cases. He saved her from going to prison, losing her home, got her children back, an...d made her support payments manageable. Highly recommend him!

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.
