Larry Davis

I had asked several people for references for a DUI Attorney that could represent me for the formal hearing process. An acquaintance of mine asked, "Do you want the Cadillac or the Ferrari?" I answered, "The Ferrari of course." And that is exactly what Larry is. He is the Ferrari of attorneys. H...e and his staff are professional, responsive, courteous, informative, clearly knowledgeable and very meticulous when managing your case. After the first consultation, I felt very comfortable with my choice to hire Mr. Davis, and I knew this time in my life I made the right decision. I have a felony aggravated DUI conviction, and I was granted full reinstatement of my license after my first hearing appearance. There is NO attorney I would recommend for the formal hearing process in the state of Illinois other than Larry Davis.

Great Legal Representation

I had a serious legal issue, having lost driving privileges in two different states more than ten years ago. I entrusted the problem to Larry and Merrill Davis and could not be happier with the representation I received. I was given step by step, clear instructions of the things I needed to do. I ...was kept fully apprised through each step of the process. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone unfortunate enough to need the amazingly professional and skilled representation they provide. They were worth every penny.

Absolutely the very best choice for D.U.I. legal representation in Illinois.

Finding myself in a situation of having my driver's license revoked for life, it took over (11) eleven years to finally get an opportunity to regain my driving privileges. Having accumulated (6) six D.U.I.'s in my lifetime, I turned to the most honest and professional firm I knew of in the State of ...Illinois; The Davis Law Group, P.C. My last D.U.I. was handled by this firm, so this is how I became aware of Mr. Davis's Law Group. My outlook had been one of resignation, that I would never drive again. Then came that magical moment when the State of Illinois drafted the the new law allowing those with multiple D.U.I.'s (4) four or more, another chance to get their license back, that is as long as you didn't want to drive in Illinois. Fortunately, I had moved to Michigan and have resided there for the last (11) eleven years, still without a license. Remaining skeptical, right up to the final decision, I was introduced to the Davis Law Group's secret weapon; Larry's daughter Merrill, an attorney herself. Through Merrill's unstoppable diligence and intelligence, she did much of the leg work for Larry. I am certain of one thing, without her there it is a good possibility I may not be writing this endorsement. For many, many weeks I was on the phone with her, several times a day. My voice had become recognizable to Larry's whole staff and my calls were transferred to Merrill, without so much as asking for her, or who was calling. The whole process was tedious, yet fulfilling. By the time I showed up for my hearing, Larry had the hearing down to a script from a storybook. I don't believe I was in the hearing for more than an hour. It was more of a question and answer interview than one of the most significant moments of my life. Without any assurance as to how the outcome would be, I left back to Michigan with a air of confidence, with no real basis why. All I knew was that between Larry's demeanor and Merrill's determination, my chances , though quite improbable, seemed like a real possibility. The decision was in my favor and I will soon be driving again; thanks to Larry and his daughter, Merrill! Barry

Best Lawyer Ever For Lifetime Revocation

Having received a number of DUIs over the years, I have dealt with a few different lawyers and law firms. I have NEVER dealt with anyone or firm that was more professional and knowledgeable than Larry and The Davis Firm. Between Larry and Merrill, they answered every question and provided accurate di...rections with regards to prepare for my hearing. Not to mention that every call was either answered or returned immediately! Don't bother with anyone else when it comes to your driving privileges!

Excellent Lawyer

Larry worked with me to obtain my restricted driving permit after three DUI convictions. He kept me informed and was very knowledgeable. I couldn't be happier with the outcome of my hearing. If not for Larry Davis' expertise I would not have gotten my RDP permit. I would highly recommend Larry Davis....
