Jerry J Davis

I grew up in a very middle class family where my mother was a stay at home mom and my father was a truck driver.  My life growing up was centered on family and we spent almost, if not all, of our weekends and holidays with cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents.  In high school, I applied to colleges and was accepted, only to find out my parents did not have any idea how to navigate the world of post-secondary schooling let alone how to pay for it.  Because of this I enlisted in the Air Force.  While serving in the Air Force I took advantage of the wonderful educational opportunities afforded to me.  I ended up taking advantage of the “bootstrap” program and attended the University of Delaware while being in the Delaware Air National Guard and R.O.T.C. Upon graduation I was the first member of my family to graduate college.

I made the decision after 13 years to attend law school and begin a different chapter of my life. I have dedicated my second adult career to families, both in family law court and juvenile court.  So many families need help, especially children.  I have been blessed to have adopted 2 wonderful children out of the foster care system which has only strengthened my desire and commitment to help broken families reach the best possible outcomes.  This is exactly what Ashby Law represents and why I am so fortunate to be part of this team.  I facilitate many adoptions and it is incredibly fulfilling to see the joy in the families faces when they become whole.
