Professional and caring

Mr. Davis' knowledge and compassion during what was a very stressful 5 months for me, went above and beyond what I expected. His years of experience in small business matters, great communication about my specific situation and genuine concern all led to a resolution that made the best of a bad deal.... I cannot say how much I appreciate Mike's skills.

Helpful!

Attorney Davis was very to the point and most helpful, even giving me an example of my issue. Thanks!

Your best choice in an Attorney

Was searching for answers and found much more. A Holiday weekend didn't stop Michael from reaching out to me about my issue. After answering a few of his questions I found my self with answers and an action plan.I was really blown away with how knowledgeable,helpful, and straightforward Michael was t...o helping me find relief in my situation. Michael should be your first choice when searching for an Attorney.

Delivered in a very challenging situation

An unknown mutiny placed my company in a very precarious situation. In the blink of an eye, Mike assessed the situation, defined an immediate action plan at a reasonable rate, and executed on that plan within hours. Although tedious and stressful, Mike kept his cool and fought for the company versus ...openly hostile creditors and co-conspirators for more than two years, through to a successful resolution. Company is back on its feet, paying its creditors, and will live to fight another day.

An Amazing Attorney who is Knowledgeable, Competent and Always Willing to Communicate and Explain what is going on!

Mr. Davis is an attorney that tirelessly worked with me on a bancruptcy entered in Colorado that I was unwittingly dragged into via my home in Oklahoma. He went the extra mile and then some! He worked at night and even on his vacation for this case. He shared his expert knowledge with me as it pertai...ned to this case and I never felt like I was not being heard. His expertise even gave the opposing attorney pause to think. I am 10+ hours away and, although that might make some worry, I never did with Mr. Davis. He filed every paper that needed to be filed, showed up at every meeting, made phone calls on my behalf and always kept me informed. Diligent, hard working, not afraid to stand up for his client and a refreshing sense of humor. You want this man on your side, believe me!
