The honor of becoming an attorney means the ability to advocate on a client's behalf and to bring about a positive result, not just in their case, but also in their life. A true advocate should be concerned both with the case at hand and the client as a person. I am patient and understanding with my clients because I realize that for most people the judicial system is unfamiliar territory and can often be very stressful. I strive to conduct each of my representations with a superb combination of intelligence and strategy because to me, one is nothing without the other. If you are facing any legal issues, allow me to guide you through the process and to advocate on your behalf.

Upon his admittance to the Alabama State Bar, Raynor began his career with the District Attorney’s Office for Alabama’s Twentieth Judicial Circuit. As an Assistant District Attorney, he prosecuted all types of cases, ranging from DUIs to Class A felonies, in the District and Circuit Courts of Henry and Houston counties. In addition to his prosecutorial duties, Raynor was also responsible for handling the office’s civil litigation work, including asset forfeitures and ad valorem tax appeals.. Since his entry into private practice, Raynor's main areas of concentration are criminal law (defense of all felonies, misdemeanors, and traffic offenses; expungement; recovery of property seized by law enforcement), family law (divorce, child custody, child support, dependency), and general civil litigation (personal injury, contract disputes, and fraud, among other areas)..

I began my law career as a judicial law clerk for the Honorable John M. Patterson, Judge (Governor, 1959-63) at the Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals where I wrote approximately 150 unpublished memorandum and numerous opinions.  This was an extraordinary learning experience.. In 1993, I moved my family moved to Dothan, Alabama.  After a brief stint in civil practice, I returned to criminal law as a sole practitioner, where I tried numerous cases, including a grisly murder, one of Houston County's first DNA cases.. In 1994, I was lured from private practice to the City Attorney's Office for the City of Dothan.  While there, prosecuted hundreds of DUI cases, along with domestic violence cases and other assorted misdemeanors.  I also handled some of the City's civil work.. In 1995, I was lured from the City Attorney's Office to the Office of the District Attorney, 20th Judicial Circuit, which encompasses Houston and Henry County, Alabama.  As an Assistant District Attorney, I handled thousands of cases and tried over 200 jury trials.  Many of those were murders, robberies, drug trafficking, robbery and white collar crimes.  Again, I prosecuted hundreds of DUI and domestic violence cases and handled juvenile matters.  For a period of five years, I handled all the drug forfeiture cases for both counties.. In 2003, I returned to the private practice of law, focusing of criminal defense, DUI, and criminal appeals as I do today. Since then I have handled thousands criminal cases of all kinds.  My experience as a former prosecutor makes me a better defense attorney.  At trial, I have secured not guilty verdicts in capital murder, robbery, sex cases, drug possession and sales, DUI and numerous other cases.  In other cases, I have secured, both at trial and by plea, many lesser included offenses, including a plea from capital murder to a misdemeanor.  I have twice won the Alabama Criminal Defenses Lawyer's Merit Award.. I fight hard for those criminally accused regardless of guilt or innocence.  I provide service to my clients without judgment.  The criminal justice system only works if I keep the prosecution honest and ensure that the court's rulings are appropriate.. In March of 2016, I was recognized as one of B-Metro Magazine's Top Lawyers.  In June of 2016, I returned to the solo practice of law as Eric C. Davis, LLC.. No representation is made that the quality of the legal services performed is greater than the quality of the legals services provided by other lawyers.
