Davison, Copple, Copple & Copple, one of the oldest law firms in Idaho, is a general practice law firm established in the early 1900's. W. Howard Davison was one of the firm's founders, and was joined in practice by his son, Frank H. Davison in the 1920's; both remained with the firm throughout their lives. In 1945, Robert H. Copple joined the firm; he was joined by his nephews, E. Don Copple in 1966 and Terry C. Copple in 1976. Robert Copple practiced with Davison Copple for his entire career, which spanned 50 years. Jon R. Cox became a partner of the firm in 2002.

The firm's philosophy of providing the highest quality legal services possible in a timely and cost-effective manner has remained constant for nearly a century. Currently, the firm is composed of E. Don Copple, Terry C. Copple, Jon R. Cox and four associates, Heather A. Cunningham, Jay M. Gustavsen, Edward J. Guerricabeitia and Cynthia L. Yee-Wallace.
