I hired Davina because I was married in 2021 and learned that my previous divorce from 20 years prior had not been finalized.
I hadn't spoken to my ex in 20 years and had no idea where he was.
Davina is a top-notch professional and a really awesome human being. I found her to be warm, personable, and genuine. She kept in constant communication with me and I felt that her rates were very fair.
I would hire her again without hesitation.
She above and beyond to be available to fit my schedule. Davina’s advice was clear and helpful. She is very knowledgeable and communicates well. I’m forever thankful I found her! I highly recommend having Davina on your team.
A native of Southern California and the first person in her family to attend college, Davina received Bachelor of Science degrees in both criminology and communications from Florida State University, where she was a member of the Golden Key International Honour Society and a Panhellenic Association recruitment counselor. In 2003, Davina earned her Juris Doctor at Nova Southeastern University, Shepard Broad Law Center. While in law school, she was a Public Interest Fellow for children and families, and a certified legal intern at the school’s Children and Families Clinic, receiving an Award of Merit from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. Additionally, she was a member of Nova Law’s American Trial Lawyers Association. She also wrote a handbook on the Florida Relative Caregiver Program, which was distributed to several government agencies. A student advisor and frequent mock trial participant, Davina also studied European Union law in a summer-abroad program in Cambridge, England.

Competent and efficient
Davina and I met after a recommendation from another attorney whom I respected and trusted. She helped me to navigate my divorce in a Covid world. Davina was extremely capable and versed about Florida divorce laws. I never could have done this alone. She always returned my texts, emails, and calls in a timely manner. She kept her word about meeting different deadlines, and she expertly explained, in understandable terms, what was happening. I felt like she always “had my back” in the nasty universe of divorce. She pointed out things that I never would have thought about. I felt confident about having selected Davina as my attorney throughout the process. I would recommend her to others who would work best with a youthful, smart, no-nonsense, efficient and effective attorney.

A very honest, attentive, thorough advocatel
7/30/19: After Lawyers Referral Service provided Mrs. Tala's name to me, I contacted her and immediately felt secure in the assistance she could provide. My issues were a convoluted mess, but she very ably "steered" me through the worst phases. My deepest thanks to this highly professional, caring and diligent Attorney.

Simply the Best
I found Davina Tala to be highly professional, objective in her analysis of my case, and efficient with her time (and my costs). She was extremely patient, answered all of my questions, and communicated in a timely manner. She had an innate knack of making me feel as if I was her most important client; a comforting feeling as I negotiated the unfamiliar minefield of the legal system.
In short, I would definitely hire her again and would recommend her without equivocation to anyone seeking an attorney in Palm Beach County.
I live in Orange County (Orlando area), and had a suit filed against me. Knowing no attorneys in Palm Beach County, I went to the Palm Beach Bar association for a referral, and Davina Tala was recommended to me. We had never met before.
We communicated telephonically at first, then I went to her offices to continue our discussions. Due to the complex nature of my case, she recognized the need for a specialty attorney skilled in detailed financial matters to augment our team, recommended such a person, and directed his interaction as my case progressed although she stayed in command of all facets. At all times I felt comfortable that I was in good hands, legally speaking, even when the judicial system itself became unnecessarily convoluted through absolutely no fault of Davina Tala. On the contrary, she displayed an extraordinary amount of flexibility and patience, all to my benefit.
My case was resolved to my complete satisfaction, and I assign that totally to Davina Tala.

In good hands
I was lucky to find Davina. Before I met Davina, I had met a few other attorneys and was not comfortable with them. Not only did Davina make me feel comfortable but she made sure that I was kept up to date with every detail of my case. Not once did I ever question her dependability or her trust. Whenever I had a question or needed to contact her, she was always responsive. I never felt like "just a client". Davina is very friendly, rational and very much a team player. I hope I don't ever need an attorney again, but if I do, I won't think twice about calling Davina.

Traffic Ticket In Abacoa
Davina is an awesome lawyer. She is committed to your case, keen on wanting to understand all the details, gives you the time and listens to what you have to say and stays in communication with you providing updates as they come as well as updating you to sit tight when communication from the court is limited. Highly recommended!

Great hire
I had a traffic citation. She was very informative throughout the process and was able to get my fine lowered with no points.

Exceptional Lawyer
Had to give a shout out to Davina Tala. She not only handled my ticket professionally and made the process very clear, she got my ticket reduced to a lower speed rating and saved me money. Plus she is very kind! I couldn't recommend her more.

Awful Experience
If I could put negative stars I would. I was dealing with a horrible divorce and Davina made it worse. She guided me in an awful direction and caused me to lose my kids. She advised me in ways that made me look like I was not willing to coparent and made me look hostile. In case you are working with her beware. She is clueless. Advised me to not communicate and many other things that caused me to lose in the end and go to trial wasting over 25k. If you use Davina she is the only one who wins your money nothing else. Please dads run the other way if you are using her. Beware of all the useless hearings she says will be helpful. They do not help they only cost you money. Better off staying married than using Davina. I would have saved more than I lost.
