I served as a judicial law clerk for appellate justices, I taught appellate and post-conviction law and practice at the University of New Mexico School of Law.

No Two Appeals Cases Are Exactly The Same
Specific grounds for appeal vary greatly from case to case. I use my experience to carefully test each potential appellate issue, analyzing whether:
- The relief available is suited to your needs
- The facts presented in the lower court provide adequate support on appeal
- The claim of error was properly preserved for appellate review by trial counsel
- The appellate standard of review is favorable to the client’s position
- Current law or a good-faith extension of it supports the appellate issue
- There are equitable or policy reasons to present the issue
You shouldn’t be afraid to appeal if you believe justice has not been served in your situation. You need intimate knowledge of the law on your side, and that’s where my decades of experience become so important. I’ll help you understand your rights, and will fight aggressively for you.

“There are no words that could effectively convey my gratitude to Scott Davidson and his team for the extreme care, compassion, and professionalism that they poured into my nephew’s case. Our battle was complicated and political given its “High Profile” status. However, Scott maintained his fierce belief and intense determination in pursing what he believed should have been the rightful, legal, and justifiable outcome for my nephew. Scott’s work ethic and baseline integrity cannot be questioned, nor can they be separated from his practice of Law. Throughout the duration of my nephew’s case while in Scott’s hands, I remained both confident and comforted by his knowledge, experience, and consistent communication. It is without hesitation that I recommend and sincerely endorse retaining the legal counsel of Scott Davidson should you find yourself needing such services!!”
