Davis Senseman founded Davis Law Office out of a desire to make quality legal representation accessible to all business owners, no matter their size or experience. From that foundation, the firm has grown to include estate planning, litigation, and family law matters, while continuing to provide assistance in all areas to business owners and non-profits.
When forming the firm (and when hiring) it was Davis’ goal to do things differently, to create a law firm where the phrase “that’s the way it’s always been” could not be used as a reason to avoid innovation. She also hoped to create a firm where lawyers could enjoy themselves and actually care about the clients they worked with. In adding to the team, Davis found like-minded attorneys dedicated to transparency in pricing and process, who also value being a part of the team of trusted advisors for their clients.
Davis Law Office has tailored our services to address the specific and ever-evolving needs of modern families, individuals and business owners and will continue to find innovative ways to continue our commitment to accessibility.

My practice focuses on criminal, civil and family law litigation with over 20 years of tested experience throughout southeastern Pennsylvania and Maryland. My passion is assisting individuals and small businesses with their varied legal issues. I have successfully tried civil and criminal jury trials, contested family law hearings, administrative proceedings and appeals.
I also serve as an arbitrator in civil court cases, and have been court-appointed as defense counsel in state criminal prosecutions. In addition to my solo law practice, I additionally serve as a Special Assistant Public Defender in Magisterial District Courts throughout Montgomery County. I’m a contributing author (and have even been editor-in-chief) to the Montgomery Bar Association’s Civil Practice Manual, the definitive legal manual for practicing law in Montgomery County.
Many moons ago, I earned an Ivy League degree in philosophy from Columbia University, and then my law degree from the University of Miami. I began my legal career as a judicial law clerk in Towson, Maryland, and first established my own law practice there at the age of 26. I moved to Pennsylvania in 2000, and revived my solo practice after working for a few years with local law firms. These early efforts were rewarded by being named a “Pennsylvania Super Lawyer - Rising Star” in 2005 and 2006 by the publishers of Philadelphia magazine.
Based upon my law firm experiences, I have found that I now best serve my clients one-on-one as a solo attorney. Currently, I am privileged to be a trusted advisor and knight-in-shining-armor to satisfied clients throughout the country. I pride myself on providing personalized and affordable legal services to my clients . . . and I even return phone calls.

Coming from the LGBTQ community, I have spent the last 30 years assisting clients from non-traditional families in the areas of estate planning, property, and family law. I am a leader in the DC Metro area in Collaborative Practice, a non-litigation alternative to court based litigation which often includes judges and attorneys who are hostile to our non-traditional families. A lot of my work over the years has been in the realm of helping non-traditional families create legal documents that support and strengthen the bonds between them, including through pre-nups, co-ownership, and parenting agreements.
I generally charge at my hourly rate of $350 for services provided. Because I have an obligation to my family as well as to my clients, I generally do not offer sliding scale rates, however, in a compelling case with reduced resources, I may consider a reduced rate.
One point: As a general rule, non-traditional families, especially those where there are children, should avoid litigation, because our family relationships are not recognized and may be used in a negative manner against us. Having litigated in the past, I no longer do it because of the toll it takes on me and my clients. However, if litigation is necessary, I will make a referral to my colleague, who is also from the LGBTQ community, and has a long record of working with non-traditional families.
