Mr. Davenport went above and beyond when the insurance adjuster kept giving me the run around. He worked hard to make sure all my medical expenses were paid, my car was fixed. and my family was compensated for the damages we suffered from the car accident. I would highly recommend Mr. Davenport for a...

After moving out of my old apartment complex the landlords were trying to charge me 500+ dollars for carpet replacement. After assembling the evidence of my defense and a letter, they dropped the unjust charges and gave me back my deposit. If it weren't for Mr. Davenport I would have had my credit co...
"No-nonsense, straight to the point and very professional… these are the words I would use to describe. Tommy. I’ve never known another lawyer more prepared or focused. He has the ability to dissect a case much like a skilled surgeon, with absolute calm. Nothing seems to rattle this guy or distract him from his goal on a case, which of course, makes him extremely tough to beat. Coming from a fellow attorney in the community, I highly recommend Tommy Davenport."
"I endorse this lawyer. Thomas is a true warrior and fights very hard for his clients. I have worked with Thomas over the years and he has the ability to see through complex legal issues while truely caring for his clients."
"Tommy is soft spoken and kind. But, don't be fooled. No one fights harder for his clients than Tommy does."
"I met Tommy in 2010 after finishing my first year of law school. Tommy immediately showed interest in me, and became a mentor to me as I continued through law school, and the following years as I began my legal career. He has always been one of the most selfless, resourceful, and considerate attorneys I have known in the legal profession. In fact, after I graduated from law school, Tommy took the time out of his busy schedule to help me prepare for the Louisiana bar examination every day, well after office hours. With Tommy's help, I passed the bar exam, and was sworn in as an attorney in 2014. I will never take for granted the generosity Tommy has shown me over the years, and I am proud to call him a colleague and friend."
"Tommy is an outstanding lawyer and even better person. He is not only a technically skilled lawyer, but he cares deeply for his clients. I endorse him without hesitation."
"Tommy is a witty, intelligent, and creative lawyer that thinks outside the box to solve complex legal issues. He is passionate about his clients and works hard to achieve the results they deserve."
"Thomas has a passion for criminal law that is truly amazing. He fights very hard for all of his clients and gets the results they are looking for. He is a true advocate for his clients and I highly recommend him to anyone seeking an excellent lawyer."
"Tommy is a top notch attorney. He is an honorable man with a huge heart. If you need an attorney who will go to war for you, Tommy is your best choice. Tommy is a friend and a blessing to all those he encounters."
"I had the pleasure of spending 3 weeks working up cases with Tommy Davenport at the Trial Lawyer's College. He is a top notch advocate who cares deeply for his clients. Without hesitation, I endorse him. He is the real deal."
"I endorse this lawyer 100 percent. Thomas is an excellent Criminal Defense Attorney. His drive and passion for his craft is insurmountable. I would unequivocally and personally endorse him."
"I am fortunate to have spent significant time working with Tommy on case preparation. He is tireless, caring and a tremendous advocate. But he is even a better person. I highly recommend him!"
"Tommy has helped me tremendously with focus groups and other practice tips. He is a top-notch lawyer."
"One of the most brilliant attorneys in the Nation, much less Louisiana, Thomas Davenport is quietly esconced in central Louisiana, doing justice for people in the toughest of criminal cases. He chooses to help the poorest of the poor when he could easily spend his life defending rich folk charged with crimes. Tommy is my hero. He is very wise, works extremely hard, and he is totally dedicated to fighting for his clients. Tommy achieves phenomenal results for his clients due to his brilliant work and his dogged determination to win for his clients. I recommend Thomas Davenport based on my years of working with him on his cases in the Trial Lawyers College where he is considered a leader and a reliable source for advice and guidance. Hire Thomas Davenport if you want the best advocate for your case. Semper Fi, Patrick J McLain"
"Tommy is a phenominal attorney who brings his extensive knowledge and passion to the practice of law. Because of this, the results he obtains for his clients are outstanding. He is dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge and constantly strives to be the best legal advocate. He attends the nations top conferences so that he can always be prepared and knowledgeable when representing clients. I met him while we were both attending the Trial Lawyers College, and got to work with him on multiple cases. His ability is unmatched by most in the legal community, and I wholeheartedly endorse his work."
