Jerry's counsel restored the parent/child relationship!

It worked! Never before has an attorney's guidance worked on my particular situation. I engaged Mr. Jerry Davis because I was in need to modify the existing Parenting Plan as it was causing tremendous constraints and distress on both parents and the child. Jerry was the only lawyer (out of four I had... previously consulted) that showed me empathy, gave seasoned advice and was absolutely confident that his simple solution would be productive for a fraction of the price. Jerry validated my feelings and then assured me that his suggestion was a move in the right direction and will prove positive results. It was less than 48 hours later that I had the draft letter in my inbox from him. The approach he used in addressing the other party in the letter was considerate, polite, non-confrontational; yet direct, fact-finding and fair. For the first time, I felt protected and confident. Jerry had an emotional maturity level that sensed the type of person I was dealing with (the other party) and knew exactly what words to communicate in order to get cooperation. To my surprise, the other party's response was immediate, respectful and cooperative; which was more than I received in 14 years. Within weeks, Jerry's direction produced a Plan Modification, in which I petitioned on my own. Essentially, all parties are relieved of stress and the parent/child relationship has been restored! I thank Jerry personally because when I was in a time of distress and confusion, he was a soundboard and had the intelligence to see the "big picture" and a positive path forward. I recommend Mr. Jerry Davis for all levels of concerns surrounding Family Law. He will get the job done with sureness at an affordable price in your time of need!

Child Support Adjustment

I sought representation for an adjustment in my child support obligation, which is required in Washington when children reach 12 years of age. I was unhappy with the attorney i hired for my divorce proceedings, and couldn't have been more pleased with Jerry. From the initial consultation until today,... Jerry, and my paralegal Zulema have been very responsive and helpful. My needs were relatively simple, and Jerry agreed to a modified retainer, and was sensitive to my request to minimize costs to me. Also the "My case" application is exceptional for a client and the firm to discuss documents and the needs of the client. Also Zulema answered my many questions, always providing the source document (e.g. Washington law) for my information and understanding.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2020.

Resignation in Lieu of Discipline issued in WA, 2020

updated on 04/09/2020

Ineligible to practice law in Washington. No longer a member of the WSBA due to resignation while disciplinary proceedings were pending. Not eligible to re-apply for admission.

Reprimand issued in WA, 2006

updated on 06/22/2015

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Jerry’s comment:

“I was reprimanded for a clerical error in my trust account. No client was ever affected in any way.”
