Not worth the money

In 2007, after a few phone call exchanges, James Davis charged $2500 and told me my employer would not negotiate and he needed another $2500 to file EEOC and labor law violations. I decided he had charged too much for 3 weeks worth involving one letter to my employer and one phone to their attorney w...ho refused to negotiate. I filed with the grievance committee and Davis sent me threatening emails that he would sue me and even named the attorney he would use. I'm not sure why he needed an attorney when he was an attorney, but I still have his emails. The grievance committee told me to ask him for my money back. That's the only help I got back then from the Grievance committee. Davis sent me a check for $60 which I never cashed. Obviously, Davis does not want to return money he didn't earn and gets vindictive when a client complaints. I would be extremely concerned if he was hired as an attorney due to his unorthodox methods which could work against his client. He also canceled an appointment with me and rescheduled me at the same time with another client. This makes me think there are other issues with Davis. Davis was only responsive when I tried to get my money back, otherwise, it was difficult to contact him when I believed in him. I then found an attorney who would work on contingency and received $20K from my former employer three months later. That attorney received $7K for his efforts, so Davis missed out on an opportunity because he overcharges and intimidates his clients.

I will not comment on the specifics of any anonymous comments in this forum, but I can say that every person who actually comes into my office is provided a free out-of-pocket-option if they have a case of discrimination or retaliation post-consultation. Period. it has been this way since 1999 when I first started. I want to make this very clear. In addition, if you have a case before the EEOC and you have mediation I will assist you at no charge out-of-pocket presuming you have a viable case and are not seeking reinstatement or employment record correction as your exclusive remedy. My number direct is 713-724-2433 if you would like to schedule a time to consult about your claim. thank you for taking the time to read this.

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.

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.
