Professional Background:After finishing my law degree, I went into practice for myself for several years, eventually forming a small firm. During this time I made many court appearances, trying cases in the General District Court, Circuit Court, Virginia Court of Appeals, State Corporation Commission, United States Equal Opportunity Commission, Social Security Administration and more. At Davis Law Group, I focus on family law as well as employment law. Our family law practice uses the Collaborative Divorce process, which helps families come to mutually beneficial agreements for distribution of assets and child custody through the process of mediation. Through my memberships with several levels of Collaborative professional organizations, I stay abreast of best practices and methods so that I can help our clients achieve the best results for their unique situation.. Life Influences:My parents and certain teachers were my biggest influencers in my life. My father’s mantra was “You can do anything you put your mind to.” I took that to heart and set high goals for myself because of the belief he instilled in me.. Favorite thing about my job:I love the daily opportunity to positively impact people’s lives.. In my spare time:I enjoy spending time with my children and helping them with their activities.

My time as an attorney began at Legal Aid which gave me the experience and skills to transition to private practice before opening my own firm. I have also been a life-long resident of the Southside of Hampton Roads which gives me a unique insight into this area. I have appeared in Court in all seven cities of Hampton Roads as well as Gloucester, Williamsburg, and York.

I started my legal career with the Portsmouth Public Defender's Office.  This served as an invaluable experience as I handled all types of criminal cases from misdemeanor driving charges to murder.  After almost four years as an Assistant Public Defender, I decided to take a position with the Chesapeake Commonwealth Attorney's Office as a Vice and Narcotics' prosecutor.  I handled cases involving large scale drug distribution, possession charges, DUIs/DWIs, animal cruelty, violent crimes and civil forfeiture matters.  During  my time as a prosecutor, I trained detectives on how to be an effective expert witness and present the evidence needed to win the case.  Now as a defense attorney, I use those same skills to zealously represent my clients, protect their interests and help keep them out of jail.. In addition, I am now a single mother and understand the hardships of divorce/separation on a family. I personally understand the importance of a competent and caring attorney that can help you through the trying times of divorce and related custody matters. It is a difficult time that no one should feel that they have to endure without someone in their corner fighting for them.

I have been working in the legal field for over a decade - first as a paralegal and now as an attorney - and I know what it takes to carry your case from beginning to end.. It starts with communication. Communication is key and is a two-way street. I will carefully listen to your story, your expectations, and your needs. It will likewise be important for you to listen to my advice, my counseling, and my wisdom gained through years of service to clients. The best attorney-client relationships are founded on this two-way communication.. Next comes strategy. We will work together to develop a sound strategy to accomplish your goals. I will draw from my experiences in the legal field to tailor a plan that fits your needs as well as your personality.. Then comes implementation. Whether it's drafting a legal document or litigating your case, I will stay focused on our goals while executing our agreed upon strategy. I will keep you informed about the status of your case and any developments as we move forward.. There is no final step, because I will continue to be available to you and your family should you need my services in the future. Whether it is a modification to your initial matter, something new, or entrusting me with your friends or family through referrals, I will always be there for you.

I have been practicing in Tidewater for twenty one years.  It is home.  Our firm offers a free initail consultation.  We have a caring and compassionate attitude towards our clients and strive to listen to our clients needs in an effort to get them the best possible outcome for their situation.  Everyone's case is different and we take the time to assess your case so that your representation is tailored to what is best for each individual.

I began my practice as a criminal defense attorney with the Public Defender's office for the City of Norfolk.  After nearly two years handling misdemeanors & felonies with a concentration in the Juvenile Courts, I ventured into private practice.. I worked for a solo practitioner as an Associate Attorney doing all areas of family law, continuing to serve a criminal defense attorney either as a Court Appointed Attorney for the courts or with retained clients.  Additionally, I became certified as Guardian ad litem (GAL).  A GAL is a licensed attorney with an extra certification that represents the best interests of children in a custody/visitation case.. In 2006 after having my second child, I wanted to continue with my career but have the flexibility to also be a mom.  So I opened my own practice. My staff and I get along wonderfully and I consider them family. Therefore, we work well together and represent our clients  with the utmost care and respect with your family in mind.. In my spare time I am a member of the King's Daughters Infinity Circle and raise money for the Children's Hospital of the Kings Daughters.  I am also a Crossfit Level 1 trainer which allows me to coach Crossfit.  I also actively train in Crossfit.  And of course, I have my own family with 3 active children that keep me busy.. Our family is here to help yours.

I am proud to have been selected as AV-Rated (Preminent) in Family Law by Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings system, and to be included in the 2018 and 2019 Editions of The Best Lawyers in America for Family Law.. I earned my Law Degree (J.D.) from the T. C. Williams School of Law, University of Richmond.  My undergraduate degree is from Virginia Commonwealth University -School of Business.. I entered private practice in Norfolk in 1978 after completing a Judicial Clerkship with the Virginia Supreme Court.  Initially focusing on injury cases, I quickly evolved into family law, which remains the focus of my practice today.. I enjoy boating, golf and the beach.  Anywhere near the water is great, except when on the golf course!

I am aggressive and proactive in my representation. Having been a family lawyer for 15 years in Hampton Roads, I have good relationships my colleagues. I am also a five-time Virginia state Chess Champion and will determine the best strategy and tactics to use to maximize your result in Court. Often, it may be to advise you to take an action you may never have thought about taking.
