Settlement Secured in 6 Months

Mr. Griffin worked with us to get a settlement for our complicated case that involves physical assault in a medical setting. He explained legal jargon to us and helped us understand our options. He negotiated to get us a good deal. The whole process only took about 6 months. We appreciate him working... hard for us so that we could put an emotional time behind us.

An Attorney Worth Reviewing

I reached out to Davis to help me with a traffic case in Belle Meade. He made multiple suggestions of things to do to help get me out of the ticket. We did all the items he suggested and the judge was fairly impressed and almost dismissed it until he saw at the last minute that I had done driving sch...ool just over 3 years ago. My fault for not letting Davis know this ahead of time. At that point, Davis and I consulted and he went into full lawyer mode and prepared to give me a solid defense. We reapproached the judge and the judge complimented him on his “lawyering”, but ultimately I decided to take a guilty charge. Davis was prepared to fight it and thought we had a chance, but I decided it wasn’t worth his time or effort. The judge waived the fine due to the efforts of Davis. Overall, Davis was pleasant to work with, willing to go to battle for me, helpful giving advice and answering questions leading up to the trial (and during), and might have won the case if I had let him pursue not guilty. Had I been up for committing more time to this process (may have needed to come back to court again), I am confident Davis could have gotten a not guilty decision for me. Therefore I think he is still worth the 5 stars, and the fact that I am giving 5 stars even with the way it played out should tell you something about the kind of lawyer he is!

Outstanding Lawyer and Team

Mr. Davis F. Griffin who is Senior Associate Attorney at Sherwood Boutique Litigation, PLC, and his team were super helpful and responsive. They were very good at communicating with us and helping us understand the whole process, and they left no stone unturned. We felt that Mr. Davis and his team we...re truly representing us with dignity and had our best interest at heart. We are so grateful to Mr. Davis and his team. It has truly been an honor to have worked with him and his team during this time. We highly recommend Mr. Davis and his team to anyone looking for an outstanding attorney and team to represent them.

Awesome attorney

I hired Davis through sherwood boutique to handle a case for me. I could not have made a better choice. He left the DA scratching his head and the judge was blown away and said he learned 3 new things that day. Davis had a mountain of material for my defense and won without breaking a sweat. He took ...the time to explain any questions i had in detail. He was very thorough and fully prepared. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a great lawyer.

Happy mother!

Researched the law and presented it well. Very impressed and happy with outcome. Thank you for your services. My son had just turned 18 and thought due to toughness of the case his life was ruined. David changed that outcome and made huge outcome on how my son is today. He gave him a chance and h...elped changed his life for the good and positive. He made it ti where my son go a fair chance and fair court proceedings. I will always be forever grateful and recommend Davis to anyone.
