Best lawyer in Arkansas history

He was the best lawyer someone could ever hope for in a criminal case. Gilligan from Gilligan’s Island once paid his fee on a murder case which Erwin won even though the client was guilty.

Best Criminal Lawyer period

I hired Erwin Davis. He is very smart, proactive and legally proficient. He understands human nature very well and uses that to win court cases. He is not afraid to take your case to trial due to which most of the prosecutors chicken out and dismiss your case.

Erwin Davis is a SMART Attorney!

Mr Davis actually became my attorney when the attorney I hired for my divorce originally took a new position and passed my case to him. They say things happen for a reason. I feel I couldn't have been luckier. Mr. Davis is extremely knowledgeable, and knows the court systems well. He is very professi...onal, but also caring and genuine. He is thorough and listens Intentently. I have had to seek legal help from Mr. Davis time after time, and am always greeted with friendship and smiles. I couldn't be more satisfied to find someone I know I can always count on and trust .

Wanted to return the favor

In Arkansas it is very difficult for a Father to get custody of his children in a custody battle, given the current legal landscape in which the Courts tend to assume that the Mother is always the more suitable parent. Despite this, Mr. Davis was able to help me achieve that goal and get my child int...o a safe environment. I know that Mr. Davis prefers criminal defense cases, and understand that he is exceptional in his main area of practice. However, I am living proof that he is also very knowledgeable and effective in civil and domestic situations as well. Thanks Mr. Davis, I don't know where I'd be if it hadn't been for you help! I wanted to edit my previous review to return to favor for all of Mr. Davis' hard work. I understand that many people Mr. Davis has helped over the years don’t want to post reviews online about their situation because they value their own privacy and people would prefer not to publicly discuss criminal charges they have faced. Most people are glad he has helped them put their legal troubles behind them, and just want to move on with their lives. Courtney’s comment here is correct, Erwin doesn’t not pay for any advertising or pressure clients to leave reviews like some lawyers do. That being the case, I just wanted to post some information here. From a very quick search through records I see that he has outright won (acquitted of all charges) 90% of his criminal trials in 2017. Of course, not all cases go to trial. A great many felony charges are dropped before going to trial because of his reputation as a great trial attorney. They'd rather make a good deal than put in all the work to prepare for trial against Mr. Davis. I have found that in the last five years he, as an individual, not a part of a large firm, has had over 150 felony charges dismissed or acquitted at or before trial. Furthermore, he has gotten many dismissals of trumped up Domestic Battery charges as well as repeatedly getting parole/probation revocation charges dismissed. I have no doubt that a more in-depth search would show that these numbers are even higher.

"Erwin Davis is one of the best criminal defense lawyers anywhere. Period. I have known him as a fellow attorney and personal friend for about a decade. He is never afraid to take a case to trial, wins often, and has about a 70% dismissal rate in felony cases. I honestly know of no attorney with a better track record.
