Contract Work
Scott has helped me countless times with contracts - both editing ones presented to me and creating ones for me to present to partners/clients, etc. His work is always top notch and he always gets me to think of things I would not have thought of on my own.

Great lawyer
I have worked with the Davenport Firm for several years. I serve as in-house counsel and have used the Davenport Law Firm at both of my in-house counsel positions. Scott Davenport is a trusted advisor. He is sensitive to business needs while finding practical solutions in an often thorny legal environment. The firm is always prompt and responsive and the results have been great.

One of the best attorneys in Houston
Scott has been my attorney for the past twelve years. In every case that he's worked on my behalf the outcome has been extremely beneficial to me. He's professional, easy to get hold of, and he'll be straight up regarding your legal situation. Very ethical and can be a pit bull when need be. You can rest assured that you'll be in great hands with him representing you!

Review
I first met Mr. Davenport some ten years in a matter which the prior attorney had mishandled. Scott took the case and carried it to successful conclusion. He has become our corporate counsel and handles all legal matters for our companies. We have found him to be a man of integrity.

Referral
I can't tell you how much we appreciate all your hard work on our case. I knew from the beginning when we started this was going to be a hard case to settle and because of you and all your hard work you made it happen. I'm so thankful for you and your staff and all the time and work you put into this case. Thanks to you I can now rest easier knowing that this is settled and over. I'm going to miss you and our chats but I am so glad you got this resolved and over for our family.

Scott is by far the best lawyer that I have been associated with, he cares about you not just your case.
Posted by Anita | December 11, 2009
Absolutely, the Best of the Best!
Scott Davenport inherieted my file from another attorney that left his firm. Being that I'm not a very trusting person, when it comes to lawyers, I was very leary and didn't have much faith regarding the handling of my case. I have to admit, in the beginning, we clashed a bit, but that had more to do with my personality than his. I watched him closely as my case progressed, gaining confidence in him every day. When we went to mediation, I really didn't know what to expect, but he kept assuring me that things would work out fine. I was very critical of him, mentally scrutinizing his every move. Through this process, I found a very caring, compassionate individual. One that will stand up for what he believes in, but most of all, a man that has the highest standard of ethics and morals. Over the last few years I've known him, I can say, that personally, I have the utmost respect for this man. As a client, he will always be my attorney. He is the best of the best. If you want someone who will be straight forward, honest and not beat around the bush, and will do the best for you, this is the guy for you.
