Speeding and traffic ticket lawyer | May 18

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have known Merrill since she has begun her career as an attorney. She has always been, and remains to be, very focused and committed to providing her clients with excellent and aggressive representation. I’ve witnessed her in court on many occasions achieve great results. She has a great working relationship with court personnel and she doesn’t back down an inch when it comes to fighting for her clients. Like so many others in the legal community, she has gained my respect, and that is why she has my endorsement."

DUI and DWI lawyer | May 17

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Attorney Davis is an excellent attorney choice for any client seeking representation in DUI defense, as well as drivers license reinstatement. I had the opportunity to work alongside Merrill for 4 years. I routinely relied, and continue to rely, on Merrill's intimate understanding of the Illinois Secretary of State license reinstatement process for drivers suffering license revocations and suspensions. Merrill is professional, efficient in her work, compassionate, and extremely experienced. I highly encourage anyone seeking help with a DUI, traffic matter, and/or license reinstatement to contact Attorney Merrill Davis."

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.
