This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Empathy an d Compassionate

It is not often that you work with a Attorney by chance and find one that shows Empathy and Compassion for what you are going through. I had so many fears and concerns standing up to a company that did me wrong. Mr. James Davis prepared and encouraged me from start to finish. On Trial day I was so ...confident thanks to his coaching and support that I was able to stand up.

One of Houston's "Realist" EEOC Lawyer!

My 1st impression of James was one who is caring, knowledgeable, relate-able and no nonsense. After hiring James, he was transparent and was truly my advocate. I appreciate is directness, empathy, and pit bull mentality! I hope I am never in a another discriminatory situation on the job but if I am J...ames will be my go to!

Great Attorney!

Mr. Davis was amazing. Top notch professional at all times. This guy knows what he is doing! The judge knew exactly who he was as he has tons of experience as well. I could not be more pleased with how things turned out for me. If you feel like you have been discriminated against at work then cal...l him sooner rather than later!

Great guy & Attorney

Hired Mr. Davis for my son & I never had to call him to get updates. He was on top of my sons case and got the case thrown out. Very nice man.

Top Tier Attorney

I have retained numerous attorney's in Houston and Dallas primarily for business, but on occasion for personal or family issues. I have retained Mr. Davis for advise or representation on several occasions. I would not hesitate to retain him again and have recommended him to a number of my colle...agues. In my experience, his knowledge of the law is unmatched by any other attorney I have retained. While his knowledge of the law is "best in class", this is not what set's him far above his piers. He is ability to use his unmatched legal knowledge and translate it to practical council to his clients is what truly sets him above and apart. Stated differently, Mr. David can quickly dissect the legal issue(s) at hand, and translate the full myriad of options that his clients can elect to pursue. He also provides a usable assessment of the amount of work and practicality of that the different options will involve (both priceless and unusual in my experience) . Through having Mr. Davis represent me, I have had the pleasure to personally observe him in research, consultation, negotiation and litigation. He is the most zealous advocate for his client of any of the other attorneys that I have engaged. He also provides this high level of advocacy without approaching the limits of any ethical standards, with his clients or with their adversary. Without reservation, I give Mr. Davis my highest level of recommendation.
