Skilled

The best attorney I've ever had. He is very professional,educated on the law and thorough, striving for the best outcome possible and is successful at it. He is genuine and cares about his clients all around. I would recommend to anybody.

Made life a bit easier / wore his cape and covid-19 mask

My lawyer Davis Griffin did everything right . Defended me to the end of the world and also helped me regain some sense of clarity and safety in regards to my situation . Completely dominated in the court and was very informative on all outcomes and legality’s I was unfamiliar with. Hired him because... I needed defense in an order of protection case against me . And I don’t regret a single expense paid to have him standing by my side in that court room. I am stress how highly I recommend the services you will get from him and the employees at Sherwood litigations. I’m able to breathe again because of the help from him. Not only did we win the order of protection out against me . We also countered it with my own order of protection and won unanimously! He is By far the Muhammad Ali in the law world and only getting better with time ! Trust me save your time pursuing other law firms and just go with Mr. Griffin you won’t be disappointed not one bit!

Davis was in my corner since day one. I was sued by my former university and it was an extremely stressful time. Not only is Mr.Griffin extremely competent, but he truly cared about the outcome of my case- sounds cliché, but it’s the truth. He was sensitive to my financial situation and did everythin...g he could to keep my costs down. Davis is efficient, patient, and honest- if you need someone to fight for you, he’s the man.

Highly recommend!!

Mr. Griffin helped us through an extremely tough and stressful situation and got us the results we were hoping for. We highly recommend him. He was compassionate, patient and very knowledgeable through the entire process.

A big think u to Davis for all u did for me and my daughter

Davis and cynthia took really good care of my daughter they treated her as if she was one of there own they took our case and got her home and with the best plea. I'd recommend this firm to any one with a child that needs to be helped cause these two will treat u like family and protect u to the full...est.

  • 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.
