HE IS A FIGHTER FOR THE TRUTH.

I highly recommend Thad Davidson to anyone facing criminal charges who needs an attorney willing to work hard, fight for the truth, and genuinely look out for their client's best interests. Mr. Davidson came into my friend's case with only about two weeks before a scheduled court date. Despite ...the very short time he had to review the case and prepare, he worked diligently and tirelessly to understand the circumstances, uncover important information, and pursue the best possible outcome under the circumstances. Unfortunately, the court date could not be continued, so he worked with the district attorney to negotiate a plea agreement that ultimately worked out well for my friend. What impressed me most was Mr. Davidson's determination to get to the truth, no matter how difficult the circumstances might be. During his review of the case, he also uncovered concerning information about the prior attorney's handling of an earlier plea offer that could have resulted in a much lighter sentence. My friend had not been made aware of that offer, and this discovery raised serious concerns about the representation he had previously received. Although Mr. Davidson came into the case late and had very little time to work with, he put in an extraordinary amount of effort in just a few short weeks. He took the situation seriously, worked to understand what had happened, and did everything he could to help my friend move forward. Finding an attorney who is willing to dig deeper, ask questions, pursue the truth, and work hard when the odds and circumstances are challenging means a great deal. Based on my experience with Mr. Davidson and the effort he put into this case, I would absolutely recommend him to anyone in need of criminal defense representation. Thank you, Mr. Davidson, for your hard work, dedication, and willingness to step in when my friend needed help. Your efforts made a real difference, and I truly appreciate the work you put into this case. M.Gunter/J.Champang

The lawyer you want beside you in court

If you’re reading this and you’re scared, overwhelmed, and unsure of what’s going to happen next in your life — I’ve been there. I was standing in court, terrified, alone, and trying not to fall apart. My own attorney didn’t even show up for my hearing. I was left there completely alone, with no one ...to speak for me and no clue what to do. That’s when Thad stepped in. A complete stranger, who didn’t know my name or anything about me, saw me sitting there by myself and walked over. He gently pulled me aside and said, “I’ll help you.” No judgment. No hesitation. He offered his help without knowing a single detail about my charges, my history, or my story. He just saw someone in need — and he showed up. That act of kindness changed the entire direction of my life. I wasn’t facing something small. The charges against me were serious — the kind of thing that could’ve destroyed my future and everything I had worked for. I was terrified that my dreams were over, that my worst mistake was going to define the rest of my life. But Thad didn’t see me as a lost cause. He saw someone who was worth fighting for. He treated me with respect and dignity, explained everything clearly, and never once made me feel like I was less than human because of what I was facing. Thad fought for me as if he had known me forever. He got me the best possible outcome — everything deferred, no conviction, and a path forward to rebuild. I now have the chance to continue pursuing my dream of becoming a nurse — something I thought I had lost forever. What makes Thad so extraordinary isn’t just his knowledge or skill — it’s his heart. He didn’t have to help me. He wasn’t obligated. But he chose to. He stood beside me when I had no one else, and I will never forget that. If you are looking for someone who will truly fight for your second chance, someone who leads with compassion and integrity, Thad is the attorney you want in your corner. I’ll never be able to fully express how grateful I am for what he did for me. He gave me back my hope, my future, and my voice — at a time when I felt like I had none left. Thank you, Thad. I will carry your kindness with me for the rest of my life.

criminal case review

Mr. Davison did what he said he was going to do, in a timely manner. He was kind, and he was very professional at his job, his secretary is a very efficient and kind person. they both made sure my family would feel certain and sure that everything was going to be fine, and the case was going to be re...solved, and it did.

Would not back down

Thad represented my brother in law and I in a criminal trespassing case that was completely fraudulent due to a Cherokee County Constable's lies. He did his research on everything possible and came 100% prepared to fight for us. We went up against one of the most unprofessional people (Cherokee Count...y Attorney) that tried to twist our answers around to work in her favor. Thad stayed calm and collected until it was time not to. We ultimately received a "Not guilty" verdict in our jury trial. He did an absolutely amazing job in our case. I plan to stay in contact with him and would use him again if ever needed.

Females Beware

I hired Thad to represent me in two cases. He was all talk at consultation. He told me everything I wanted to hear. After a court date that my husband attended with me, Thad became very volger and angry. He cursed me out throwing the F bomb many times. When my husband asked him not to talk to me tha...t way, Thad threatened him and told him to leave. Thad proceeded to tell me he was divorced and didn't want my husband of 15 years around me. He didn't want him in court with me or didn't want me to have anything to do with my Own Husband. He punched his file into his brief case and acted like he wanted to punch me. Wow I could not believe this. He avoided my calls until February 27 where he sent me a motion to withdrawal and complete Lied on it. Please BEWARE!
