About
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John M. Patterson, Judge (Governor, 1959-63) at the Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals where I wrote approximately 150 unpublished memorandum and numerous opinions.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.

Took 5 minutes to explain to me what every other attorney I called in town wouldn't. Helped me understand my situation over the phone without having me come into the office and try to get money out of me.
I was represented by Eric Davis in a matter that could have lead to a felony conviction. Eric took time to understand my case, and offered his legal advise and personal experience. By following the guidance he offered I received a favorable outcome, and a situation that could have been devastating to me became an opportunity to set my life on a different trajectory. It is obvious that Eric is respected by his peers in the legal system, and he also earned my respect, and gratitude. I highly recommend him. Eric was honest and communicated openly with me thru the entire process to ensure I was fully advised before making any decisions.
We had need to hire a criminal defense lawyer. I contacted Eric Davis and he took the situation seriously and had me come in to meet him right away. He took the time to talk through the situation and didn't rush us. I was so humbled by not only how understanding he was but also how very educated he was. He will be very deliberate and relentless with your case. Eric is someone who will fight for you and be that person who is in your corner when you feel like no one else is! He is very professional, ethical and will build a great rapport with you quickly. Eric Davis will be accessible and will be an advocate for you.
I came to Mr. Davis because I was looking for the best. His record as a defense attorney and a prosecutor told me he knew the law and could defend me from the injustice I was facing. Mr. Davis is very thorough and professional I felt I was in capable hands. In the courtroom he is simply amazing. A plea deal was offered and refused I left it up to the jury with confidence knowing my case was properly presented to them and the judge. I defiantly trust this man with my life and my freedom and highly recommend him to anyone.
