Davis' practice involves representation of persons both as plaintiffs and defendants in various types of civil litigation, including insurance coverage issues, contract and business issues, collections, marriage dissolutions, disability claims, and employment disputes, as well as representing defendants in criminal cases. Davis is admitted to practice before all state and federal courts in the State of Iowa. He handles cases in all geographic areas of the state, although most of the matters are in eastern Iowa. Davis is a member of the Association of Trial Lawyers of America and the Iowa Trial Lawyers Association and is a member of the Litigation Section of the Iowa State Bar Association.
Persons involved in civil lawsuits (suits for money damages) are either Plaintiffs or Defendants. Plaintiffs are the persons or business entities making the claim and Defendants are the persons or business entities against whom the claim is being made. While many cases involving Foster Law Office involve representation of the Plaintiff, this is not exclusively who Davis represents. Representing Plaintiffs gives a unique perspective on representing Defendants, since Davis understands the techniques and strategies employed by Plaintiffs' attorneys.
Persons with criminal charges against them also need representation by an attorney with trial experience. In this situation, the State of Iowa is the Plaintiff and is represented by the County Attorney or the Iowa Attorney General's office. The person against whom the charge is brought is the defendant. Davis Foster represents those persons charged with crimes, primarily in Johnson County and nearby counties in eastern Iowa.
