Posted by Reggie | November 15, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

When you need the Best Team for a Challenging, Litigated Divorce.

Kirker Davis is a top of the line law firm that excels in strategy, execution and victory. As a Line Officer in the Navy with 16 years of service I can credibly assess that their operations are on point and well-greased. Holly and Chris are simply magic in the courtroom: expertly weaving their story ...on the floor and directing the flow of arguments. What's more is that they take that extra level of care and customer service when you need it most, making critical calls and responses via email and phone at night and on the weekend should necessity dictate. The result is a pair that exhibits hybrid characteristics of both dedicated hired guns and personal friends and confidants. Kirker Davis advertises concierge level service, and it couldn't be more true. My case started out very bleak, with multiple significant challenges and obstacles already established when I first walked into the Kirker Davis office. Although I cannot go into the details of my case, Holly, Chris and the rest of the KD team were able to turn the tables from a defensive posture to undeniable forward momentum. I will say if you are facing seemingly insurmountable odds there is no better team to have at your back and side to protect you and achieve the results you're looking for. Going through a divorce is one of life's greatest challenges should it happen to you. Godspeed to everyone that must journey down this path. Best regards, Reggie

HOLLY IS THE BEST LAWYER IN TEXAS

I consulted holly about my sister's divorce case. After listening intently, she offered to review her case free of charge and give sound advice. Some of the advice she gave were the steps we ending up taking throughout her divorce process. One thing I would say about holly is how CARING she is. Going... through a divorce is a very difficult and heart-wrenching process and holly pulls through 2,000% with a caring heart but is successful because she is tough and unbelievably smart. This woman is truly the best at what she does. You want her as your lawyer!!!!

Holly is the lawyer who lawyers hire for their own divorces

I'm a lawyer myself and Holly helped me with my recent divorce. She did an amazing job. She covered all the little issues that would have collectively cost me a bunch of money in the long run if she had not been so detail-oriented and focused. She is a tenacious advocate for her clients who aims to r...esolve matters amicably but will fight tooth-and-nail for her clients if that is what it takes to reach a fair resolution. I highly recommend Holly if you are looking for a great divorce attorney in Central Texas.

Highly Recommend Holly

Zinda & Davis is an outstanding firm dealing with very challenging issues. I used Holly Davis as my attorney and found her to be extremely knowledgeable on family law, quick to a solution and very available to answer my questions and concerns. I knew she had my family's best interests at heart. I hig...hly recommend her and her firm.

Posted by Ben | November 01, 2013 | Child Custody

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!!!

"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!"
