Fights for your Rights!

I am a person with a disability and I have had difficulty in the work place setting. I contacted Mr. Davis and met with him for a consultation in 2012. He treated me with respect and listened patiently to my work issues. He understood that my goal was to maintain my job and to be treated with respec...t as the other employees in the work place. He gave me clear legal options that were open to me. He was responsive to my issues and identified some issues that I had overlooked. I found Mr. Davis to be very passionate about the law in general and an advocate of people with disabilities. His office or Mr. Davis kept me updated on the progress of my case and I had his cell number. I am pleased to say that I am employed full time and being treated with the same respect as the other employees. I can count on him. Proud to say he is my attorney!

Very Satisfied Client

Mr. Davis was very professional and knowledgeable. He listened to my issue and answered my questions and then explained my options in a way that I could understand. I have had contact with other lawyers who did not care to answer my questions that were on my mind and who failed to keep me informed a...bout my case. He did not promise an outcome for my case but gave me legal information so I could make a good decision on how I would proceed. His office staff or Mr. Davis kept me informed about my case either through phone or email. Mr. Davis gave me his cell phone number so I had a way to contact him directly. This was very important to me as I had dealt with other attorneys who did not keep me informed of my case.

Informative, Relevant, Efficient

James Davis assisted me with assessing my legal rights as applied to personal legal matters in Texas. He responded in a timely manner. I was able to contact him by cell and text as well. I appreciate that he answers questions and explains fully any necessary information. He has a thorough in depth... knowledge of the law. He knows a great deal about employment law and discrimination issues as applied to the workplace. I found him personable and straight forward with my best interest at hand.

Knowledgeable Attorney

I used Mr. Davis for two cases. One case involved employment litigation and the other personal injury. Mr. Davis is knowledgeable in both areas. His guidance helped me in how to proceed further in both claims.

Worth the Money

Mr. Davis helped me with my slander case. He worked hard for me and offered me several options. I highly recommend him but he is not a discount lawyer.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
