This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Horrible

This attorney made promises and took over $10,000 of our money then sent us an E-mail to tell us he would be out of the office for the next six months. He was totally dishonest and now will not answer our calls or E-mail.

Had to Short Sale My House

After a very long and challenging divorce I found myself in a position where I had to short sale my house. I had a consultation with Mr. Davidson. We discussed all of my options and decided that a short sale was the best path for me. After that he put Deborah Sorum in charge of my case and she gui...ded me through the whole process. It was anything but "short", so I was glad to have someone who knew what they were doing and told me what needed to be dealt with and what were just hoops the bank wanted us to jump through. I don't think I could have done it without her help. She was very responsive to any and all questions. By the end of the sale the people buying the house were asking me to ask her questions. Brenda Klos helped with the closing process and I know Deborah and Brenda worked together to get the extensions needed so that the process finalized and closed. It was a very confusing process from a home owners perspective. It was nice to just turn it all over to them and let them do the worrying about the banks, buyers, realtors, closing dates, deadlines, rules and regulations. I could not rate them high enough for helping me get through a very difficult process directly after such a painful chapter of my life. Thank You!

real estate sale

Ken was efficient, knowledgeable and to the point. He also got our input and we acted as a team to arrive at a successful resolution. This sale had the potential to go sideways but because of Ken's skills, he kept it on track and did not back down and were were able to arrive at a positive outcome....

Construction Litigation

Ken Davidson worked on a construction litigation case with us. At all times he was professional and very competent. He went out of his way to make our case financially managable even when it was to his disadvantage. He was extremely easy to work with and we would recommend him to anyone looking fo...r a great business or construction related attorney.
