Damon J. Davis

Attorney & Shareholder

I do the legal work necessary to ensure that the people of Colorado receive the same top‑notch legal representation that big corporations and insurance companies enjoy. My practice focuses on personal injury and appeals, and I am committed to delivering high‑level legal strategy to individuals who need strong advocacy.

Background & Experience

I have over twenty years of experience representing individuals in courts throughout Colorado, including the Colorado Court of Appeals, the Colorado Supreme Court, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit. I have handled nearly forty appeals and countless motions, often securing critical relief for clients.
I grew up in Grand Junction and returned after law school to build my career in the community that shaped me. Coming from a blue‑collar family, I believe people from all walks of life deserve quality legal representation, and I enjoy the challenge of untangling the complex legal issues they bring to the firm.

My Approach to Clients

Although many cases share similarities, they often contain key differences—and those differences create opportunities to pursue additional or greater relief for clients. I strive to view each case as its own distinct matter so I can identify those opportunities and give every client the strongest chance at success.
By treating each case individually, I help clients increase their likelihood of achieving favorable results.

Community & Personal Life

When I’m not practicing law, I enjoy spending time with my fiancée and our four children—a role that has made me both a respectable cook and an expert diaper‑changer. I enjoy golf, video games, reading science fiction and fantasy, fishing, hiking, and, whenever possible, sleeping. I am also a life‑long Denver Broncos fan.
