I made a big mistake in hiring this attorney to represent me in what should have been a simple family law matter. I could have left this review back in 2021 but I held out hope that this would be made right. I hired Mr Davis in 2021 for minor modification and enforcement of visitation.
Mr Davis asked me to drive to Austin for the consultation so I drove almost 5 hours to meet with him. At conclusion of the consultation, Mr Davis said I have a good case. Mr Davis recommended that I should go for full custody back as I had the full custody of my son raising him for 5 years after his mother abandoned the child when our son was just 14 moths old. Mr Davis requested a retainer & as I recall, I paid him $15k.
He claims he was given a retainer of only $10k, but let’s be honest - that is still a lot of money to get enforcement of an existing visitation agreement or even to go back to court for a full custody modification, isn’t it? Fast Forward to the day of the hearing. I had a witness fly in from the east coast - we had a mutual ex-wife.
My witness and I observed Mr Davis enter the court house and my witness pointed out Mr Davis in discussion with our ex-wife’s attorney. After this chat ended, Mr Davis approached me telling me to go find another lawyer. Mr Davis then departed, abandoning me right before the hearing with no prior notice that he wanted to withdraw. Mr Davis to this day has refused to tell me why he abandoned me and my case immediately preceding the hearing.
After repeated attempts to get Mr Davis to do what I paid a retainer for or at least give me an explanation for why I was left to fend for myself, I finally submitted a complaint with the State Bar of Texas & the Texas Attorney General’s office reporting my experience for them to investigate. I have also filed a lawsuit for this abandonment situation in District Court in Austin. May justice prevail.

I have the highest praise for Terrence Davis and his staff who represented my daughter in her recent divorce. Terrence and his staff are a highly experienced, honest, friendly & caring team with the client’s best interests at heart. Terrence’s knowledge and experience give him a confidence that assured and calmed my daughter and I at every stressful turn. The staff worked tirelessly, analyzing and organizing mountains of documents, and provided us with immediate responses, guidance and reassurance. If you are looking for someone to represent you, trust Terrence Davis -- he’ll win. We did, and we’ll forever be thankful.

I cannot say enough nice things about the Davis law firm. He and his staff are very professional and knowledgeable. They answered calls and emails promptly.
Mr. Davis works extremely hard to get the best results for his clients. He is honest and helps you to get the best results for you without overspending.
I hired Mr. Davis in the middle of my divorce and was very nervous about doing so. He worked very diligently to get up to speed on my case and having him represent me made all the difference in the world. I was so confident with him backing me. He does not back down to other aggressive attorneys. He is very knowledgeable with the law and they back down in a hurry.
I could not have asked for a better attorney or staff to get me through this difficult time. I recommend him to anyone in need of a family attorney.

I retained Mr. Davis for a complicated modification order. If you are in need of a family lawyer, you're already in a stressful situation. The last thing you need is to wonder whether your lawyer has time for your case and will be responsive. Mr. Davis was very direct in our communication and very prompt in carrying out each course of action I asked for. His staff was also kind and helpful. I really hope I don't need a lawyer again anytime soon, but if I do I'll be back.

Terence was focused and very knowledgeable about every aspect of my custody suit. His work ethic is nothing less than impeccable and he is a true Christian.
Terence fought for my son's safety as if he was his son. My son is happy and safe today thanks to Mr. Davis.

Although this is my only experience with a divorce I did speak with four different lawyers before choosing Terrence Davis. I felt he was very knowledgeable, direct and professional at all times. I was extremely impressed with his promptness, he seemed to always be monitoring his emails. I would have responses almost immediately. Things were also filed promptly as well. I never felt out of the loop. In addition, for the level of service I received I felt his rate was reasonable. I would and will recommended him to others.

I hired Terence for a fairly complicated custody modification. It was a tumultuous time, high stress, and twists and turns at every corner. From the moment I walked into his office and hired him, he has been 100%. Very explanatory, very precise and thorough. The other lawyers involved in the case (as there were multiple other children and petitioners) were ALL impressed with Terence. He is very friendly and honest. He doesn't waste time, like I've heard of other lawyers doing. His invoices are detailed and fair. I even called him in the middle of the night for an emergency situation, and he answered and did his magic... I would HIGHLY recommend Terence.
