Couldn’t ask for better

Mr Davis was given my case late into the proceedings. This was of my fault but from the minute he took over I knew I was in good hands. He took the time to listen to my concerns and what I wanted to come out of a difficult CHINS case. I felt like I was given a gift with him as a lawyer. Thank you fo...r everything you have done and will continue to do.

Excellent criminal and divorce attorney.

Mr. Davis is very knowledgeable on criminal law. He is relentless when it comes to finding the truth in the case. He defended me in a criminal case that was very complicated. In my opinion, his attention to detail is one of his greatest strengths. D.J. has an uncanny gift for recalling facts when the...y are most needed. In fact, there were times he remembered issues on my case that I had forgotten. Mr. Davis was also compassionate and respectful in the way he treated me and my family. If you are going through difficult times, D. J. Davis is the attorney you want in your corner.

Dude knows his stuff

DJ is a hard working attorney who tries hard not to let the little details slip by. He has worked to get me out of legal issues before and recently helped with my divorce, advising me on issues that I had no idea about. Everything went smoothly and he even told me about some options when it came to r...efinancing my home. Overall, a very pleasant experience and an attorney that I highly recommend.

Professional and caring staff

DJ and his staff are very professional and caring. I am a single father with two little girls. We share joint legal and physical custody. I also have my girls on a weekly rotation. 7 days on, 7 days off. This shows how hard DJ works for his clients and their family members. He is dedicated to his pro...fession and it shows. I was in court on June 30th, 2011. DJ did an awesome job on preparing for this case and everything worked out in our favor... Thank you DJ...

Happy with divorce settlement

Attorney D.J. Davis represented me in a divorce which was just finalized. I am confident that his knowledge and negociating skills were the reasons I received a fair property settlement.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
