Best Lawyer in town!

Bankruptcy is such a difficult choice. Antoinette was so kind and compassionate. Wish I could have met her on other terms... She is someone I would love to just be friends with. Maybe after this process is over, we can just be friends. I am sure everyone feels that way about her. It is very obvio...us she knows what she is talking about. She does not pull any punches, she tells you the truth. That is a FRESH breath of air... You can tell it is NOT just about the money... she is doing this because she truly cares about you. I would highly recommend Antoinette Davis. I cannot say enough about her and her staff.

Honest, knowledgeable, caring

Tonie possesses a unique blend of professionalism, expertise, and genuine empathy. Foreclosure and bankruptcy were very difficult and personal decisions we had to face recently and we are very fortunate to have had Tonie help us along the way. Tonie is very well versed in real estate and bankruptcy l...aw and she thoughtfully addressed the myriad of questions we kept sending her way. She was very transparent with us from the beginning and her prompt and detailed communication was much appreciated. Most importantly, Tonie truly cared about our case and her passion and warmth completely put us at ease. With Tonie’s help we filed for chapter 7 and were able to turn around an embarrassing and negative situation into a fresh start full of new opportunities. We strongly recommend Tonie.

Bankruptcy or bust

My wife and I had to file for bankruptcy and we were completely lost. We asked so many questions and relied so completely on her advise. We are so very grateful for her knowledge and calming presence.

Debt is terrifying, Ms. Davis makes it easy

When I found out I was being garnished for an insurance bill, I literally cried. Upon speaking with Ms. Davis, walking into her ambient office having her walk me through all aspects of bankruptcy I felt assured that I was in good hands. I couldn't have asked for a more knowledgeable shepherd into the... murky waters of legal-ese. I found her candor impressive. She was beyond patient with my pedestrian questions and she was kind. I loved the fact that her forms were far more straightforward than any other legal form I've ever seen!! If I ever had to file bankruptcy again, I would DEFINITELY request Ms. Davis' assistance. She made a terrifying situation pleasant. Thank you, Antoinette!

Effective!

I had a client that I referred to Antoinette as they needed to find a solution for a property that had negative equity. The family didn't know where to start. Antoinette offered informed, experienced guidance through the short sale process along with information that gave the clients confidence in ...the decisions they had to make. I highly recommend her!

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."
