Disappointed to see that he is unable to practice

Mike Davis took care of a case for me six or seven years ago, he did an awesome job on my case, if was very detailed, and a very hard case. In fact it involved MAD protesting and children hurt, pulling at your heart, strings, for my son, multiple in fractions, to me, it seemed like as a mom, he was ...going to go to jail for life to me. It seem like it was a no-win. situation, my son did do jail time, but I fully believe Mike did the best that he could do with what he had to work with.The outcome was the best outcome that could’ve been delivered under the circumstances if we would’ve had another attorney I think we would’ve got a lot longer sentence then what what my son received. I don’t know what happened with Mike being suspended for a couple years. And a lot of you people writing negative things you wouldn’t have negative things to write if you hadn’t had done bad things. Are you might’ve got a better job if you would’ve paid him I don’t know your situation or your circumstances but he’s a nice guy.

The best criminal attorney!

Mike, thank you for representing me! I see a lot of complaints on here but they must be ignorant and not understand you’re a popular lawyer in the area you practice and that your case load is quite extensive!

Waste of money!

I made the mistake of hiring Mike to handle my divorce. The initial divorce hearing required him to prepare our temporary orders. Three months later, he still hadn't prepared the temporary orders and I couldn't get in touch with him during the 3 months. He refused to prepare temporary orders or re...turn phone calls. I had to fire him and pay another attorney to prepare temp orders.

review

I got a dwi a year and a half ago I took him a year to get done with court because he either didn't show up or would post pone it when i thought it was finally done I lost my lisens and paid a fine. The eight months later I got a letter in the mail saying I lost them agin for six months because I ref...used to take a breathliser which was a lie because I took two of them. So I try to call him which he's never in the office then called the dps and I had some trial with them and he didn't show up so I was found guilty. I had asked about this 8 months before when my other court was finished and he said that this court over ruled that one and we didn't need to go. I would not reckamend this Lawer to any one
