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.
