Our vision

Every great idea has a moment — the spark, the late night, the problem finally solved. At A.F. Davis Law®, our job is to make sure that moment belongs to you.

A boutique intellectual property practice since 2003, we’ve spent over thirty years helping inventors, creators, and entrepreneurs turn their breakthroughs into protected, enforceable legal rights. What sets us apart? Our founding attorney began as an engineer — someone who knows firsthand what goes into bringing an idea to life, not just how to file paperwork around it. We don’t dabble in IP. It’s all we do, and that combination of technical fluency and legal precision makes all the difference.

Your breakthrough deserves more than boilerplate protection. It deserves a firm that truly understands what it took to build it.

About Us

Big firms have big teams, big overhead, and — too often — big blind spots when it comes to the clients who actually need them most. We built A.F. Davis Law® to be something different.

We listen first. Every client comes to us with unique goals, unique challenges, and a story worth understanding — and we tailor our advice accordingly. Then we act! No unnecessary layers, no lost-in-the-queue delays, no one-size-fits-all answers. Just responsive, practical counsel. When you reach out, you hear back — and from someone who knows your matter.

Large-firm quality. Boutique-firm care. That’s been our founding standard, which hasn’t changed since day one.

“

You've heard the saying, 'Jack of all trades and master of none.' Well, we don't try to do everything. We just do intellectual property...and we do it well.”

Al davis, esq.

I serve on the Board of Directors of a California nonprofit that has worked with A. F. DAVIS LAW for many years in protecting our intellectual property. Recently, Al led a team of lawyers who represented our organization in considerably high-stakes litigation. We will be forever indebted to Al and the team for obtaining the reversal of a $500 million judgment that would have resulted in the demise of this very important community organization. Instead, Al was able to secure a very favorable result that ensures the continued protection of our intellectual property.

I have known Al Davis since the mid-90’s when we worked together at a large boutique IP firm in Minneapolis. I grew to know Al both as a work colleague and as a friend. At a time when many of his peers were still learning the ropes, Al took the lead on a large and legally complex patent litigation matter. I was fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Al on that case, where I was able to personally witness Al’s extraordinary creativity and legal acumen. In addition to having exceptional legal skills, Al is one of the most genuinely thoughtful and cooperative attorneys that I have worked with.

In my experience with Al, I have known him to exhibit the highest moral and ethical character. Al is a proven leader in the field of intellectual property law. He also has a genuine concern for people in his community. Any client would be lucky to have Al as their attorney. Without reservation, I recommend Al Davis.

My organization (international nonprofit) retained Al Davis as outside counsel to assist with intellectual property matters. Al went above and beyond the call of duty, providing a valuable service to the organization from start to finish. Not only did he know his stuff, he was very responsive to our inquiries, kept us up to date on the projects he was handling and was a joy to work with.
