What Davis Griffin did for me

I had 4 tickets from United States Federal Park Rangers. They were driving off designated roadway, possession of tobacco by a minor, fleeing to elude, and speeding 95 MPH in a 50 MPH speed zone. The park rangers didn’t arrest me that day, but when I had my day in court those officers wanted me jailed.... Davis got the court to drop all charges except fleeing to elude and I walked away with a $1500.00 fine and nothing more. I would definitely recommend his services time and time again because you can’t beat a deal like that in my opinion.

Davis Griffin is the GOAT

I was charged with two serious Class A misdemeanors - domestic assault and harassment. Davis was appointed to me as my attorney by the Sherwood Litigation firm, and he heard me out and decided to take my case. He got down to business immediately after hire, analyzing the events and situation that was... before him. He knew the best outcomes with what he was given and before we even got to court, he had already gotten proof from a phone call with my ex that there was no domestic assault that took place, haha. In session, Davis was offered several good pleas by the DA, but as I said, he knew the best outcome and fought for it. By my third reset, Davis managed to get my case dismissed. I left the courthouse with zero charges, and my ex now has a contempt of court charge. Insanity..

Highly recommended

I consulted with and hired Attorney Griffin to take my case and help me obtain an order of protection. My case involved relatively novel aspects in that there was not significant precedent in law to help argue my case. Attorney Griffin advocated for me as a client during a difficult time. I would tru...st him and his firm to do so again.
