AMAZING

SHE GOT MAY CASE CLOSED

Unpleasant experience

My encounter with Davis Legal Center and Dameka L. Davis, Esq. as the Managing Attorney was a complete nightmare, characterized by incompetence, unprofessionalism, and a shocking lack of integrity. Dameka L. Davis's legal incompetence was evident when she mistakenly overlooked a crucial deadline... in my case, requiring my correction. This error underscores her lack of attention to detail and questionable ability to handle legal matters effectively. Upon receiving payment, Dameka L. Davis's demeanor took a drastic turn for the worse. She became solely focused on extracting more money rather than providing genuine legal assistance or support. Charging a hefty $175 just for an initial case discussion, she displayed a clear lack of respect for her clients. To make matters worse, after only reading some court documents/emails on my case.the initial $5000 retainer fee I paid, I requested a refund. Shockingly, Dameka L. Davis callously refused, claiming a no-refund policy and declined to apply the remaining funds to another situation. She promptly closed my file without explanation or justification, leaving me bewildered and out of pocket. Also During our interactions, she frequently juggled conversations with her children, indicating a lack of focus and commitment to clients' cases. The lack of professionalism, exorbitant fees, and refusal to provide a refund or proper closure to my case paints a disturbing and chaotic picture of Davis Legal Center. I strongly caution against engaging their services to avoid the frustration and disappointment I have endured.

"Attorney Davis and I attended law school together in Lansing, Michigan. During that time, I had an opportunity to see her passion for the law, especially criminal law. There was no doubt in my mind that she would become one of the top criminal defense attorneys. She is extremely thoughtful, knowledgeable, compassionate, and honest. These attributes are vital for a criminal defense attorney. I highly recommend her legal services based on my personal knowledge of her!"

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.
