Hired Attorney R. Dean Davenport, JD, PhD

We've worked with Dean a few times for multiple estate issues over the past 3 years. He's super dependable and his work quality is superior. Moreover he works hard to be responsive and thoughtful in custom tailoring the requested deliverables. He answers questions for me before I ask them, and when I didn't know to ask them. Dean has helped me to define my expectations for professional legal services and the bar is high.
