DAVID D. DAVIS, JD
Davis is known as an aggressive, hard-hitting advocate. In representing clients, Davis uses the full breadth of the law, including the use of Temporary Restraining Orders and the subsequent conversion of the order into a Temporary Injunction – considered extrajudicial relief and very difficult to obtain. This benefits the client in maintaining the status quo as underlying issues are addressed — i.e., in protecting company assets and opportunities from a non-performing or breaching partner. Davis is well-versed in both federal and state courts and is bilingual with Spanish as a second language.
He is passionate about protecting the civil rights of others. In one case, the representation of a family of a young man who died while in police custody resulted in a substantial six-figure settlement for the family.
Davis is a decorated officer and veteran of the U.S. Air Force. He served in the intelligence field as an analyst and AWACS airborne support crew member, and as a tactical analyst at a joint command and field advisor in support of real-time operations. Following his career in the USAF, Davis received a law degree from Southern Methodist University and currently focuses on business litigation.
When away from the office, Davis serves as a referee for local and high school soccer and enjoys camping and scuba diving with his family.
