Attorney at Law

I offer experience, professionalism, and satisfactory results. As a former prosecutor of felonies and misdemeanors, I have worked as lead counsel on thousands of criminal cases and trained with police officers and prosecutors across the State. I am well equipped to handle all cases on your behalf. I am experienced in DUIs, drug possession cases, domestic violence, and traffic cases.

After fighting on behalf of indigent clients as a Public Defender early in my career, I am currently working alongside attorney George Creal in all matters criminal and civil.  Though only 34 years old, I've have already tried dozens of criminal cases, felony and misdemeanor alike.  My felony cases tried before a jury consist of murder charges, armed burglary, armed robbery, and drug trafficking.  Additionally, I have tried assault and battery cases plus smaller level felony drug and property offense cases.  Most of my misdemeanor cases consist of DUI charges, some with a breath test and some without.  I have also tried felony and misdemeanor cases before various judges in juveniles courts.  An overwhelming majority of my cases have resulted in either an outright acquittal or a guilty to a lesser charge.  Additionally, I have filed and/or argued over 200 motions to suppress in felony and misdemeanor cases.  A number of these motions resulted in the dismissal of my client's case, including a dismissal for trafficking in cocaine and a dismissal of an armed robbery case.  Lastly, I have taken over 1,300 depositions of state witnesses in different types of felony and misdemeanor cases.  In addition to police officers and detectives, these have ranged from eye witnesses to expert witnesses.  I have deposed expert witnesses the fields of  DUI, drug recognition, ballistics, fingerprints, and DNA.  My goal is to make sure I am more informed than the judge, prosecutor, and witnesses about the facts of my case each time I step into a courtroom.  I will always allow for a free consultation, so please don't hesitate to call me if you are in need a defense attorney who will bend over backwards for you.

I love being a lawyer and fight hard to  get justice for my clients.  I am a trial lawyer and prepare each case as if it were going to trial.  Most cases do not have to go to trial as a favorable plea bargain is often reached, but I am always prepared for litigation so my clients can get the best possible outcomes in their cases.

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.
