A lawyer who has a heart.

I cannot count how many different divorce attorneys I looked for, I meet Mrs.Davis for a free consultation and she was the only one who showed compassion and really made me feel ok about my divorce. She explained everything to me and what to expect and what might happen. Needless to say I cannot than...k her and her staff in making this experience comfortable. She fought hard for me in my case and she delivered everything I wanted especially more visitation time with my child. I normally don't write or care for reviews but I know Mrs. Davis will hold your hand during your difficult time and she will fight for you like she did for me.

Holly Davis was caring, truthful, and trustworthy.. Most importantly though, SHE WON MY CASE!

I used Zinda & Davis for my child custody case.. It was an incredibly complicated case because my ex accused me of abusing my children and her.. I was innocent but the state didn't believe me. CPS proceeded to harass me repeatedly! I'm so happy that I hired Z&D for my case.. From the beginning they t...old me to expect limited joint custody but I actually have primary custody and my ex only gets to visit the kids for 2 hours a week supervised. What an incredible story! This would not have been possible without the skill and dedication of Z&D! I recommend them to anyone needing a great family law attorney. Holly, Thank you!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!!

Great attorney, smart, to the point, concise and successful

I arrived to Holly after communication with numerous attorneys in the Austin area, she was by far the best and I knew if from the first conversation we had. I had a tight timeline to get on my case and she was on it immediately with quick response and advice. She gets down to the facts and understand...s the law but more importantly helps you understand the law as well. Her confidence and professionalism really made the difference in my case. She helps you to understand your options and why you should or should not do something in your case and the reasons why. She is to the point as well and this helps when you are on the fence about something. She always kept me in the loop regarding what was happening and always made time to talk with me even if it was something minor, even after my case was closed when some issues came up she got on the phone with me to discuss them. She is also very down to earth and has a sense of humor as well, so that makes it a little less painful for you giving the fact that you're working with her for likely an unpleasant reason. At some point I may need to go back and revisit my case and she will definitely be the person I go to. I highly recommend her for anyone going through a child custody case or family law.

Adapted to changing situations and always kept me informed of my current options.

Holly and the rest of the staff did an excellent job on my case. My situation changed several times during my case due to the instability of my ex-wife. Holly and her team did a wonderful job of changing plans depending on the current situation. The kept me in the loop and informed every step of the ...way. Holly did a great job of telling me all of my options without trying to force me in one direction or the other. I am very pleased with the outcome of my case and my boys are much happier now too. I will definitely recommend Holly Davis to anyone I know going through a custody case. It was a pleasure working with her and all of her team.

Happy to Recommend

Ms. Davis worked out a formal child custody arrangement when the agreement with my child's father was no longer working. I was not looking forward to going into the court system- but she made sure that I understood the process and gave me good advice. I actually feel better having a formal agreemen...t now that it is done.

"You will struggle to find a more powerful force in your family law case than Holly Davis. She will steer your case to success with a steady hand, a professional demeanor, and an exceptional command of the law as it applies specifically to you. Holly's clients experience a matchless level of attention and excellence from start to resolution. Holly's opponents experience a respectful but firm negotiation for her clients outside the Courtroom - inside the Courtroom, they will never know what hit them. Holly is a rarity and you will be so glad you called her!"
