I am proud to be a lawyer and I truly enjoy working with people. 

I was born and raised in Cicero, Illinois.  I attended Morton East High School followed by Morton College, where I was named Freshman Female Athlete of the Year.  After receiving an Associate's Degree in Commerce, I transferred to Southern Illinois Univeristy at Carbondale to pursue a Bachelor of Science Degree.  Two years later I received a B.S. in Paralegal Studies (major) and Political Science (minor).  I have worked in law firms since graduating from college in 1987.  In 1993 I began attending law school at night at IIT Chicago-Kent College of Law while working full-time in a law firm.  Four years later I received a Juris Doctor degree with honors.  I have spent my entire career handling cases ranging from wrongful death to business disputes. 

I represent individuals and companies and have prosecuted and defended numerous cases to conclusion via jury trial or bench trial in the areas of construction negligence, premises liability, automobile accidents, medical negligence and product liability.  I have spent my entire legal career in civil litigation and presently serve as co-managing partner at Spyratos Davis LLC.  I taught Civil Litigation at the College of DuPage and have lectured on behalf of continuing legal education associations on numerous ocassions on the topics of trial advocacy and civil litigation.  I have assumed positions of leadership in the legal community on the local and state bar association levels, including the Illinois State Bar Association (Chair, Civil Practice; Elected Member of the Assembly), the DuPage County Bar Association (Elected member, Board of Directors), the DuPage Association of Women Lawyers (President), and the American Inns of Court-DuPage County Chapter (President).  I am an active member of the Transportation Lawyers Association and the Council for Litigation Management.  I have presented and moderated numerous Continuing Legal Education Seminars over the years to lawyers across the State of Illinois on topics including traumatic brain injuries, construction-related injuries, and jury trial practice. 

I live in the western suburbs with my family and active in my community, school and church.  I enjoy spending time with family and friends, golfing, and attending the theater.

Great Experience!
I had a time sensitive legal issue that needed attention and I have contacted a few lawyers online, but Kimberly was the first to respond and to help me with the issue. She is very attentive, listens carefully to your problems and gives you insights of what needs to be done. Another thing I liked a lot about her is that she replies to emails quickly, communication is very important and she does it flawlessly. Overall I had a great experience with her firm and will use her in the future if needed. Thank you Kimberly!

Insurance suit
Kim Davis represented our insurance company for an accident claim. She was always great at communicating with us about depositions and settlement conferences. She managed to settle only for medical claims, no punitive damages. Thank you Kim for all your hard work on this case.

It's Over-Congratulations
As I sit in my office writing this review so many words come to mind. Listening, patient, relentless learning and understanding, never giving up. Our case required an understanding of plumbing, piping, hydraulics. Kim was not afraid she jumped in head first. Kim did the homework ultimately prevailed. I cannot thank her and her team enough. I would highly recommend Kim to all facing litigation. Thank you Kim! I really appreciate everything you did for me and my team.

| Consulted Attorney
Excellent Consultation
I called Kim for a consultation with a list of questions about a legal dispute I was considering. She patiently answered all of my questions with answers as complete and informative as anyone would ever want. When I started my consultation with her, I was uncertain as to how to resolve or proceed in a legal dispute. After I had finished speaking to her, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. Bottom Line: Kim Davis knows the law. If you need a lawyer who is not only smart, but is very articulate, thinks of every contingency and finds the most advantageous course of action that fits your legal needs, Kim is that lawyer. I strongly recommend her and will use her myself for any future legal needs.

Great Experience with superior results
Kimberly handled a workers comp subrogation claim, and a personal injury lawsuit for our company. She was first person on the accident site, besides the rescue personnel. Kimberly was not only extremely thorough throughout the entire process, but she was also swift in response to all pertinent matters in the case. Kimberly worked tirelessly to insure all appropriate evidence was brought to light, and properly disclosed. She was able to recognize important technical issues, that among other things ultimately resulted in the proper resolution of the claim.

I have never dealt with such a smart, confident, & efficient law office. We had messages/calls/emails returned immediately, even on a Saturday evening. After dealing with a back and forth case for over a year, we hired Kimberly Davis. She arrived prepared and demanded we be treated fairly. One court date and it was complete, she was able to get all of our demands met! What we thought was impossible she handled. If we ever need a lawyer for anything again, this is where we will go! She is highly recommended. We could not be happier!

A+ rating
Very polite, kind, and informative. I wasn't just another client, but rather got to know me. She kept me in the loop of what was happening with the case, even if I did not need to be present. She was, and is, a blessing. A highly skilled attorney and would recommend her.

In your corner
Kimberly Davis demonstrated her passion and tenacity while defending my business in a law suit. She is a smart, tough lawyer who likes to act quickly and does not waste time. Kimberly has represented my interests on 3 different occasions and each time, I am left feeling thankful that she is with me and not against me. As a small business owner, you want a professional, smart, tough attorney who cares about you and your business. I would recommend Kimberly Davis for your professional or personal legal needs.

Excellent negotiator
Great ability to cut through the fluff and get to the heart of the key issues, then uses that knowledge to find common ground for both sides, all to the advantage of her client. VERY aware, very prepared, very organized, very articulate. And a pleasure to work with.
