Landlord Dispute

Mr. Daws has been very supportive and helpful from the beginning. Since we have never sued anyone before, we were new to the litigation process. Hence, the much-needed direction provided by Mr. Daws has served to allay many of our fears and concerns. We have been quite impressed with his knowledge... of the law and skills in dealing with the court. The outcome of our case has exceeded our expectations; largely because of Mr. Daws' effective work in our behalf. Mr. Daws has provided us with the legal documentation we have needed, keeps us abreast of what to expect, seeks our input in order to properly represents us, and patiently answers our many questions. He has offered understanding and compassion toward us while fighting valiantly for our rights. He is a highly ethical and effective attorney whom we would eagerly recommend.

Grateful for The Daws Law Firm

Malachi was a great attorney. I would recommend his firm to anyone who is dealing with a personal injury like mine which required back surgery. I had a lot of medical bills and missed a lot of time off of work. He was very attentive and honest, and he helped me out with any question I had. His fi...rm always kept me up to date on my case. Their staff was always very polite. Me and my family and very grateful for him helping us through his difficult time.

Posted by Laurie | November 16, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Personal Injury

Malachi is an excellent attorney. Very personalized care of his clients.

Malachi was referred to me by a friend. After my first consultation with him I knew that he was understanding and very knowledgeable about my situation. He always kept me informed and updated on the case. Answered all of my questions. He was compassionate about my injuries. And he always looked out ...for my best interest. I would highly recommend him.

Mr. Tim Byers

Mr. Daws was a great help to me in my time of need. He took care of everything and I never had to call and ask how things were going. He kept me in the loop the entire time. My claim was handled from beginning to end with almost no help from me, Mr. Daws and his staff took care of every detail. At a ...time when I was less than able, he removed all the stress that comes from filing a claim after an accident like mine.

Posted by Sherry Midkiff | October 05, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Trucking Accident

My husband's run in with an 18 wheeler

My husband had a terrible accident April of last year when an 18 wheeler decided to come from the right side shoulder of the road and make a illegal left hand turn in front of my husband. He had seconds to react and went under the truck trailer which had loaded on it 40 Thousand tons of steel and wa...s rear ended by another vehicle. It took 45 minutes for fire rescue to cut him out of his pick up. Needless to say my husband sustained a traumatic brain injury and neck injury which needed surgery. We hired Mr. Daws the day after my husbands accident. It was a complete blessing to leave Mr. Daws in charge if our case. He help in so many ways from wading through all the legal issues to helping us make decisions on my husbands care. Mr Daws is professional caring and explained everything that we needed to understand. It can be very confusing. We reached a settlement soon after my husband recovered from his injuries. Mr. Daws handled the other side with facts, figures, and profession presentation to the other side gave in to a lot more compensation then they had planned. I would recommend him highly to the point if you need someone to fight for you he is your man.
