Thank you for stopping by my website. After trying cases and representing corporate clients at large institutions for over 30 years, I finally attained my long-delayed dream of opening my own law firm in December 2020. Why did I leave the comfort and security of “BigLaw” for the far more uncertain and precarious life of a solo practitioner? In a word, Freedom. Freedom from the conflicts of interest that are rampant in large law firms, freedom from the rigid hourly rate and fee structures imposed by BigLaw, freedom from the internal politics that plague all large organizations, but most of all the freedom to be able to represent individuals and small companies rather than Wall Street behemoths. If my experience and skills meet your legal need, it would be an honor to represent you. Please call me for a free consultation. Thanks again for dropping in.
Don Davidson is a trial lawyer with over thirty years of first-chair experience as an Assistant District Attorney in Manhattan under Robert Morgenthau, as an Assistant United States Attorney with the U.S. Department of Justice, as a Deputy General Counsel and Senior V.P. at UBS Financial Services, and as a partner with a trio of multinational law firms in New York and San Francisco. While Don relishes the challenge and excitement of trial work, he also recognizes that skillful negotiation and settlement are sometimes the best outcome for the client. Regardless of whether the case is to be tried or settled, the path to success always requires hard work, thorough preparation, winnowing the matter to its essence, and creative thinking. And, of course, the cost is always relevant, so efficiency is critical, too. Each case, client, and problem are unique, and one size most definitely does not fit all. Rather than taking a cookie-cutter approach, Don follows the unofficial USMC motto: Improvise, Adapt, Overcome. Let Don Davidson help you solve your legal problem.
