Great to work with

I've worked with Mr. Davi for a number of years for a number of family issues, including divorce, change of residency/custody, and child support. I have found him to be knowledgable and professional at all times. He has the ability to make you see the situation rationally, and diffuse some of the... emotion that always goes along with divorce and child custody issues. He tried to keep us out of court if possible , but fought for me in court when needed. I would (and have ) recommend him to anyone.

Posted by Lynn | August 30, 2012 | Child Custody

Trustworthy

Dion Davi has represeted me through the most diifiicult and important moments in my life. As I was unaware of the law, he always took the time to explain to me what I didn't understand and what rights the law provides. He provided critical assistance to me prioritizing my objectives, working to solut...ions of problems I faced and providing reassurance even when the outcome was uncertain. Through all of this Dion Davi was patient, calm and trusthworthy and always maintained the best interests of my child. I trusted a stranger with my families future and I would recommend Dion Davi to anyone looking for an attorney.

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.
