Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have had cases against Mr. Davis and have observed him in trials. Mr. Davis is one of the most knowledgeable and experienced family law and divorce attorney in the Tampa Bay area. His knowledge of Florida Statutes and case law exceeds that of most family law attorneys in the state. His ability to apply the facts of his client's circumstances to the applicable laws and present them to the court in a creative and persuasive manner never ceases to amaze me. He is very well known in the community as being one of the very best family law attorneys in the the Tampa Bay area, especially when it comes to extremely complicated cases. He is very devoted to the practice of law and his clients' needs. I strongly recommend Mr. Davis to anyone seeking an experienced and zealous attorney."

Family lawyer | May 26

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I am an appellate attorney whose practice mainly deals with familiy law appellate matters and Scott and I have worked on several of Scott's cases that have been appealed. Being an appellate attorney, I get to see the quality of work done by the trial attorneys and Scott does a great job and his clients also like him, which is a hard thing to accomplish when you are dealing with family law issues AND an appeal! Scott is extremely intelligent and as a solo practitioner, I often call him to bounce legal ideas off of him - or as we say in the legal field "to pick his brain"."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Scott Davis is a highly reputable and talented Marital & Family Law Attorney in the Tampa Bay area. When I want another attorney to “brainstorm” with about a complicated case or issue, Mr. Davis is the first attorney I call. He is highly intelligent and is always able to see the other side of the argument, which is essential in this area of practice. When Mr. Davis is on the opposing side of one of my cases, I always know that he will be reasonable throughout the duration of the case, which in the long saves both of our clients time and money. Mr. Davis is also a very talented trial attorney who knows the Florida Rules of Evidence like the back of his hand. I highly recommend Attorney Scott Davis."

Scott is always a warm and friendly presence, and he is a good friend to whom one can always lean on to discuss the law, or life in general. He is always very well prepared and is actually board certified in two distinct areas of the law. He takes his job and responsibility as an attorney and counselor at law very seriously, and he is fully dedicated to our profession."

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.
