also known as Robert Davis, James Robert Davis
On October 19, 1990, during his second year of law school, Robert was in a
motorcycle accident. He sustained serious injuries and was permanently
paralyzed from the waist down.
Determined to finish what he started, Davis returned to law school six months after his injury and earned his Juris Doctor degree in 1993 from the LSU Law School in Baton Rouge Louisiana.
After passing the Louisiana and Texas bar exams, he accepted a position with Taylor and Cire in Houston, Texas. Davis practiced law with well-known Houston trial lawyer Rob Taylor for seven years and then opened his own law practice in 2001, the Law Offices of J. Robert Davis, P.C. The firm is centrally located in San Antonio, Texas, and represents clients throughout the United States. The firm also has an office in Boerne, Texas.
Davis understands the physical pain and mental anguish his clients experience. “We are fellow travelers.” he says.“After my accident I had a lot of trouble with my insurance company. Right then, I knew my purpose as a lawyer was to fight for the rights of everyday citizens against insurance companies and big corporations.”
From his first days as a trial attorney until the present, Davis has exclusively represented victims and their families injured by the negligent act of others.
“I tried my first case to a jury on my third day as a lawyer,” Davis says. “It was a tremendous experience. After that, there was no doubting my purpose.”
Robert volunteers much of his free time working with non-profit organizations. He is an accomplished mono skier and outdoorsman. He is a board member of the Adaptive Sports Center of Crested Butte Colorado which enables winter and summer outdoor adventure activities for all persons with adaptive needs. He is the former Vice Chairman of the board of the U.S. Handcycling Federation, the governing body of competitive hand cycle racing and U.S. Paralympics. He is also a board member of the Sun Down Sun Up Foundation, a non-profit organization devoted to the social and medical concerns of persons with Downs Syndrome.
In San Antonio, Robert is a proud member of the local chapter of the NSCIA (National Spinal Cord Injury Association). Robert is also the chairman of the membership committee of the NSCIA and enjoys recruiting new members in the Alamo City. Robert has been a member of the American Association of Justice since he was a law student. The AAJ champions the cause of injured persons everywhere. Robert is also a member of the Southern Poverty Law Center. The SPLC prosecutes hate crimes and is a watchdog of hate crime organizations.

Active immediately!
I am still at the beginning of my case but everything is happening pretty fast. The case manager was able to meet with me the day after I called. We met for about 3 hours so that she could get every last detail of my case and explain to me exactly what they could do for me. The day after we met, she ...

Best lawyer for the job.
Immediately after the accident I didn't think anything was wrong. Nothing hurt. It wasn't till after a few weeks that my neck began to ache. I thought of all the attorney names you see on TV and I called a few, but all turned me down. I thought there was no chance of getting any help, I had waite...

Incident involving negligent driver.
Mr. Davis was hired by my Louisiana counsel to represent me in my personal injury case that was to be tried in Texas. Mr. Davis exhibited profound knowledge and ability in not only representing me but hiring competent experts to bolster our case. Setting next to Mr. Davis during mediation was so enjo...

A poorly made modular home and an arbitration agreement
When we purchased our modular home, we signed an arbitration agreement with the company, meaning that if we had any problems with the builder, we agreed to mediation instead of legal action. This did not seem to be a big deal at the time, since the company guaranteed their workmanship and claimed cu...

Auto accident
Robert represented me in an auto-accident case which left me with injuries that inevitably resulted in surgery. Robert was extremely professional and the case was settled in a timely manner. Would definitely use Robert Davis again.
"I recently had the pleasure of working with Robert on a trucking accident case. He is caring, efficient and thorough. He works tirelessly to vindicate his clients. Our mutual client was well represented."
"Robert has mentored me for the last five years. He is extremely knowledgeable and doesn't hesitate in his pursuit of justice for his clients. He's an asset to our community, standing up for those that have been injured by the negligence of another."
"I've seen Robert work up close with clients, and it's easy to see that he genuinely cares about them. This is evident in how he works up his cases. He has an ability to very quickly diagnose the strengths and weaknesses of a case, which allows him to put the case together very thoroughly. Beyond his exceptional abilities as a litigator and trial lawyer, he is genuinely a good person. In many ways, he goes above and beyond what a typical personal injury lawyer would do to make sure his clients are taken care of. Having seen his work up close, I have no reservations about highly recommending him."
"I heartily endorse Robert as a great trial lawyer for personal injury cases. He is an intelligent, highly focused, and meticulous attorney who handles catastrophic injury cases in hotly contested litigation and consistently gets great results for his clients. I have worked with him on several cases where he represented my workers' compensation clients in third party cases and they were extremely satisfied with their successful outcomes."
"Not only is Robert one of the finest personal injury lawyers I have ever met, his uncanny ability to get to the heart of an issue and bring opposing parties to the center of a controversy is simply unbelievable. He is such a lawyer's lawyer and a gentlemen's gentlemen as to truly be called the "cream of the crop," both in his professional as well as personal life."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Robert many years and have referred many cases to him and he has always handled the litigation in an efficient manner and the client was always satisfied. I have also sent other attorneys to him with cases in his area with the same results."
"I know Robert to be lawyer of great integrity and skill. I recommend and refer clients to Robert frequently."
