I Had the A-Team!

I had the A-Team, a quote from another highly qualified attorney in town. Chris Davis, his associate Greg Colburn, Paralegal Cindy DeHart and wife Michelle are a team to be reckoned with. I was injured in an auto accident by a driver who was underinsured. So Chris and his team pursued my insurance... company for my underinsured motorist benefit. My company kept stalling, claiming I didn't have some injuries and that other injuries were pre-existing. Ugh! Thankfully I had Chris and his team, who were knowledgeable, straight forward and honest, who played to the letter of the law to build a strong foundation and gathered medical, personal and work witnesses to attest to my character and the changes that had occurred in me. Not only did Chris and his team prove my case, but I felt taken care of and respected by everyone involved. Cindy being my point of contact was always a friendly voice during a stressful time. I felt like she was my friend as well as doing her job responsively. Michelle was also a friendly voice keeping me informed and encouraged. Chris and Greg were my protectors and my champions! If needed again, I wouldn't go anywhere else. This is my A-Team!!!

Ask for Rory! She is amazing and will take care of you!

I felt very overwhelmed after my accident. The other driver's insurance company was calling me several times a day (even at work) and trying to get me to settle. I heard about the auto accident book Davis Law Group was offering on KIRO and called right away. The book helped me out so I set up an appo...intment with the law firm. They have been wonderful every step of the way and I feel like I can finally relax and work on getting better. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing legal advice on an injury. My case was resolved quickly. Rory was especially helpful and kept me up to date on my case through the whole thing. I appreciate her support and guidence.

Chris, Greg and Susannah will go out of their way to help you with your case!

I was in car accident and had suffered some knee and neck injuries because of the crash. I had lots of troubles trying to settle with the Insurance Company directly, so I decided to get in contact with a law firm. At first I had a bad experience with a previous attorney I had hired a different place.... So I had done lots of research, before hiring Greg Culborne and I cannot describe how satisfied I am about the way him and Susannah Hanley, the Paralegal handled my case. First, the way they handled the clients is top class; they always return phone calls and email messages, even on Saturdays! Greg is a very professional young lawyer who is very honest and knowledgeable. Susannah is also very experienced and reliable. One of my friends who has known me for a long time and lives overseas and is also a lawyer, made very good remarks about the content of the letter that she put together for the Insurance proposal. What really impressed me the way she described my personality, in particular the details about way I lived my life before and after the accident. It was like if she knew me for a lifetime! It was very impressing how well she caught those details! She is also very caring and a good listener and kept me positive during the most negative times of my life. I have to say I will always consider her a friend for all the support given to me and the practical help, by contacting all my debtors so I could concentrate on getting treatment and healing. It also turned out in the end that the amount requested is going to be much higher than what expected, so I cannot really ask for more! Now I can see why there are so many positive testimonials about this law firm. I highly recommend this law firm.

Just what the doctor ordered!

I was injured in an automobile accident, through no fault of my own. Because I had a few preexisting conditions, my case was complex and I needed to find a highly skilled professional to represent me in a lawsuit. Enter, the Davis Law Group... I am so happy I found these people. They are all ve...ry compassionate and definitely know what they are doing. The paralegal I was assigned to, held my hand the whole way. Leslie Filler took the stress off of me and allowed me to concentrate on healing. She and Chris Davis gave insightful advice and helped me understand what I should be doing in order to attain the most favorable outcome. Their website is also a wonderful resource to anyone involved in a personal injury. Greg Colburn negotiated my settlement and I am very happy with the outcome. The compensation I received was way more than what was originally anticipated when negotiations began. The Davis Law Group is made up of very knowledgeable professionals and my heartfelt thanks goes out to them. If you are in need of a personal injury lawyer, give them a try. You will be glad you did!

Would I recommend this firm to anyone I know? Of course I would in a heart beat. They have been amazing throughout the whole process. What I loved the most about Davis Law Group is they always check up on you and reply back to the emails quickly. I just want to say thank you to everyone and especiall...y to Kelsey Anderson she's amazing she would call me or send me an email letting me know step by step where the case was heading. Thank you so much Kelsey.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
