helped me through very trying times

Tonie was such a help. I was in a messy divorce and my ex racked up credit debt and fraudulent lease. Tonie defended me and was super. Her personal touch cannot be overstated

Absolutely the best!

Antoinette Davis was so helpful, knowledgeable and most importantly compassionate and supportive. She helped me tremendously and gave me the support I needed. I was shocked st the level of incompetency I saw at the courthouse the day of my hearing: lawyers who didn't show up, or showed up hours late,... some who were scattered and disorganized and most people that day had to return after clarifying issues. I was so prepared due to Antoinette's help that my case closed without a hitch. Her staff is also amazing and organized. I can't recommend this form enough. If you need help do yourself a favor and hire the best!

Professional, Smart & Excellent Attorney

I would highly recommend Antoinette to anyone faced with the decision of filing bankruptcy. From our first meeting, Antoinette provided me with a clear plan of action, which eventually helped me avoid bankruptcy all together. She understood my circumstance, which was fairly complex, and explained con...cisely all of my options and possible outcomes. Her straight forward approach was refreshing and balanced with just the right amount of compassion. Her support team was also very responsive to any questions and concerns I had from beginning to end. Overall, Antoinette is an incredibly competent, considerate, and professional bankruptcy attorney. I’m blessed to have had her as my attorney and would not hesitate to use her again.

Great atty with no judgment (no pun intended)

Where do I start with Tonie? I've searched for the past few years debating if this was the right course for me, being where I am in my life right now and current situation at this "age". Tonie, and her staff, were not judgmental at all and that was one of the things that I was looking for. As embarra...ssing as it is to start with something like this, Tonie went step by step with me, answered all of my questions and worries, my next steps and expected outcome. She was definitely realistic and just made me feel at ease. No one usually feels that way when dealing with a lawyer or having to go to the courthouse. She is just as friendly as your next door neighbor, per se, and is quite the person. I wouldn't have picked anybody else to handle my matter. If I could rate her beyond a 5, I would. Thank you, Tonie, for all that you've done and more! Very much appreciated :).

Consumer protection lawyer | Jan 21

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Antoinette Davis is one of the few consumer lawyers who approaches her cases in the same way a Tall Building lawyer would. Her clients receive the same level of representation whether they are paying her per hour or on a contingency fee representation agreement. As a result of this high level of attorney representation, she keeps her opposing counsel on their toes and achieves strong results for her clients. She is truly one of the strongest lawyers in the consumer law community."
