Larry has helped me thought my entire life with my DUI troubles. He has never missed a call from me and has gone above and beyond what I expected. I would recommend to every person I know from now on. He is fair priced and was the only lawyer in the area to take my case.

I was directed to Larry Davis by professionals in the Drug/Alcohol Treatment industry. I had talked to several other attorneys and all of them offered me little promise of averting jail time as this was my third DUI in 25 years. After talking with Larry Davis, he informed me that jail time was not something that could not be avoided. I was not incarcerated and was able to drive with a RDP that was granted me. Thanks to all the work Larry and his staff provided, I could still go to work every day and continue earning a living. This allowed my family and myself to not endure any more hardships than were already imposed on me by my actions. I feel you need to have someone like Larry Davis in your corner to be able to navigate all the criteria set forth by the state and to be able to do it properly without adding many months, years and dollars to reach your end-goal of being fully re-instated and putting all of this behind you. In summary, save yourself hours of anguish, lots of money and streamline the process of being re-instated by hiring Larry Davis and his staff to guide you in this legal dilemma.

Upon embarking on the journey to getting my driver license reinstated, the smartest thing I did was hire The David Law Group. I sent a message through the web site and was contacted quickly by Mr. Davis himself! He was extremely professional in all our interactions and made me feel very comfortable - I believe his experience with clients' stress and anxiety in their legal battles really shines through and he put me at ease within minutes of the consultation. Mr. Davis' experience handling matters like mine was immediately apparent and what he explained to me in the first call was exactly how my reinstatement progressed. Another highlight of working with Mr.Davis was his transparency in the fee structure. There was nothing unexpected in the billing and remitting payment was a breeze. If you are reading this review considering hiring The Davis Law Group, do yourself a favor and retain them immediately. Thanks again for the great work Larry!

I've been through the court system more than I'm proud to admit. Needless to say, I've been represented by more than a few other lawyers. Larry is different. He plays to win. If you want somebody to walk up the prosecutor and see what's being offered and PERHAPS find you slightly better deal then call someone else. If you want REAL representation and someone that will fight for you and will rigorously defend you in court. Call Larry Davis. Some people "mail it in" with what they do in life. A few others a passionate about their work and dedicate their lives to mastery of their craft. Larry Davis is a master of his craft. And he never quits learning or becomes complacent. He's alive and vibrant in every way you can imagine. It's inspiring as a client and just wait until you see the results. It may not be easy (your particular case) but rest assured you MIGHTLY increase your odds of a favorable outcome by hiring Larry Davis to defend you. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH MR. DAVIS. I was blown away with your handling of my felony charged driving while revoked case. And for those reading. It's a few weeks after my court case was settled and I'm pretty sure you can't type up a review in jail. I'm home, I'm free, and I've been given a second chance. I'll never forget how great it felt to have his team represent me in court. It was AWESOME! Alex.

Larry is the best lawyer in Illinois for DUI & driver’s license related cases. That is not up for debate. I called a few dui lawyers to consult with them and they both referred me to Larry, because my case was more serious. He knows the laws and procedures better than anyone. Larry helped me get a restricted driving permit after my driver’s license was revoked. At first I didn’t think I needed a lawyer, so I went to a formal hearing by myself and was denied. After that, I hired Larry. With his expert legal advice I was approved at the next hearing. I was surprising calm in the hearing, knowing that I had the best attorney at my side. I should have hired Larry from the very start!

Larry Davis is the one to hire fo dealings with the Illinois Secretary of State office on suspended/revoked driver's license and related matters. He knows the law, the people, the folklore, what can be done and what cannot. He (and his colleagues) are VERY responsive and do a great job for their clients. I am very glad I had Larry and Merrill helping me.

I had asked several people for references for a DUI Attorney that could represent me for the formal hearing process. An acquaintance of mine asked, "Do you want the Cadillac or the Ferrari?" I answered, "The Ferrari of course." And that is exactly what Larry is. He is the Ferrari of attorneys. He and his staff are professional, responsive, courteous, informative, clearly knowledgeable and very meticulous when managing your case. After the first consultation, I felt very comfortable with my choice to hire Mr. Davis, and I knew this time in my life I made the right decision. I have a felony aggravated DUI conviction, and I was granted full reinstatement of my license after my first hearing appearance. There is NO attorney I would recommend for the formal hearing process in the state of Illinois other than Larry Davis.

I'm a 60 year old tradesman whose previous life was going to the bars after work, weekends etc. Needless to say, I racked-up many DUI's and for a while, wondered if I'd ever drive again. That brought me to the office of Mr. Davis, who's reputation as "The Best in the Business" preceded him. This was no time to bargain shop for a parachute. Our Saturday morning meeting was all business, where he laid out what he could do for me, providing I comply with his mandates, and how much it would cost. I left his office that day with that "I'm in Good Hands" feeling that I hadn't felt for a while. I did not use Mr. Davis for the criminal end, mistake, for that attorney charged me allot money for minimal results. Although I haven't received my full reinstatement yet, I have been in front of the Sec. of State twice, first to petition for an RDP and the second was for it's extension. It was after the initial hearing that lead me to title this review as I did. I will be scheduled for my final/ full reinstatement hearing this summer [2017] and I'll complete this, or post a new review after that that will conclude this matter. JG

I had a serious legal issue, having lost driving privileges in two different states more than ten years ago. I entrusted the problem to Larry and Merrill Davis and could not be happier with the representation I received. I was given step by step, clear instructions of the things I needed to do. I was kept fully apprised through each step of the process. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone unfortunate enough to need the amazingly professional and skilled representation they provide. They were worth every penny.

Mr. Davis is a no-nonsense lawyer as I posted that in my review of Merrill if anyone wants to put in the effort to do everything the Law Group tells them to do I could promise that great things will happen for them I personally had 4 Dui an Mr Davis's tough approach to a tough situation I was able to receive my license back on 3 3 2017 I'm sure I could never have done this without these people in all my years of dealing with troubles and lawyers I've never had anyone better thank you my friend
