I've been a client of Davina's for years. Her knowledge and expertise have been, and continue to be, invaluable to me in negotiating and drafting contracts for my work in the entertainment industry. I can't recommend her highly enough, and I do so all the time.

Davina is a fantastic person to work with. She assisted me in my writing career in countless ways. She not only recommended ways to improve my the visibility and marketability of my writing, she assisted in protecting it through copyright, which is not an easy process. And she followed up with me numerous times to ensure that I was getting the process started. Davina possesses the rare and wonderful ability to think both creatively and pragmatically, and she is always thinking about the future and is one step ahead of the game about ways to improve your situation and how to get them to happen. Best of all, she truly wants to help people and will do what it takes to make sure she can.
