Mr. Davis has handled all three of our real estate closings. We have always felt safe and prepared with him - he anticipates possible problems and offers wise counsel about our options. He treats us with great care and always makes sure that we are comfortable with the process. His staff is always pleasant and performs its responsibilities accurately and efficiently. We recommend Mr. Davis enthusiastically.

I am completely satisfied with Larry J. Davis and his wonderful team. After my dad passed my brothers and I were at a loss with all the legal stuff that comes during what was one of the worst times in our lives. And even worse Corona happened causing with the courts to be shut down. Larry and Cindy answer all our questions and were on top of every detail. They reacted immediately to every form needed by the courts; doing the best to speed up the already delayed process caused by the corona shut downs. After my dad's house was sold, Larry let me know that the title company had held money for utilities that needed to refund back to me, something the realtor and closing attorney never bother to tell me. He advised me to include a leased water heater my dad had in his house in my sellers disclosure form, which turn out to save me thousands of dollars. His counsel and help was invaluable. I recommend Larry J. Davis and his team 100%!!!

Like many of us today, we are caring for parents that brought us into the world and cared for us when we needed them the most. Larry initially helped us by preparing a Power of Attorney and Will for our elderly mother. Following her passing, Larry filed the necessary legal documents to transfer our parents home to us, her two sons. The filings were done quickly and as Larry clearly outlined would occur. He was always accessible for any inquiries we needed to ask. Highly Recommended

I came to Larry based on positive reviews and reputation. Both are well-earned and deserved. I trust Larry not only with my own affairs, but also with those of my family, who additionally hired him based on my personal experience and recommendation. Give Larry a call, he'll point you in the right direction.

My mother and I found Larry through this website and he was a great help during what was a stressful time. My father had passed and we were dealing with probate on a property. He and Cindy were thorough, patient and helpful at all times, even when we didn't understand a situation. Always willing to discuss by phone and very sensitive to the needs of my mother who was anxious and unsure the entire time. I would highly recommend Larry for any legal matters.

Mr. Davis was hired to assist me with an estate case. Both he and his staff were extremely helpful and professional throughout the entire process. I never left a conversation feeling uninformed or rushed. Every call or email was returned in a timely manner and I was confident that I was always updated with the most current status of my case. I would highly recommend Mr. Davis without any reservation.

Extreme Gratitude

5.0 stars

I’m beyond grateful for the expertise and support we got from Larry with both the sale of our home and the subsequent purchase of a new home. At each and every step of the process his council proved critical. Had we not had Larry acting on our behalf, our new purchase would likely have been derailed, we would not have saved thousands of dollars and would have spent beyond what was necessary . His warm, knowledgeable demeanor never failed to calm our fears. We asked so many questions undoubtedly outside the realm of typical real estate things yet he always had time and never responded in any other way than professionally giving spot on advice. His office took care of everything. He worked well with our realtor on every level. He took care of hiccups right away never any delay on his part. I’ll forever be grateful for his help. Our home is an important and emotional part of our lives and he played an integral role in bringing that about. I’ll forever be grateful.

Mr. Davis and his team were super efficient and proactive in handling our estate. I was impressed when I called to check on the status of the case, that the secretary didn’t even have to put me on hold because she had already made an inquiry to the courts and knew where they were at in processing our paperwork.

I have retained Larry to represent me in my own legal affairs on numerous occasions, and in every instance, I have found Larry to be extremely knowledgable, professional, efficient and patient. He has obtained results I didn't think were possible, and I do certainly endorse and recommend Larry Davis as legal advisor and counsel.
