Legal Professionals

I represent clients in family law matters, guardianship, divorce, custody agreements, pre and post marital agreements, and more!

I provide non-judgmental, neutral and safe mediation services to folks who need help working through difficult subjects, making agreements around open-relationships, discussing relationship hopes and dreams and fears, and general assistance in improving communication. I am sex-positive and LQBTQ friendly. I help you identify what areas you want to be heard on, discuss and work through and support you and your partner(s) to have constructive conversations about what is most meaningful to you all. I also offer communication coaching and tools for making talking about the hard stuff a little bit easier. As a mediator I am a neutral third party that is equally partial to all folks in a discussion and I help people wade through the hard parts of conflict to get to the heart of an issue and find their way to resolution and clarity. Most mediations range from two to three hours to allow for each person to really feel heard, seen and cared for.

Professional specialties and skills: Mediation, Conflict resolution, Restorative Justice, Peacemaking Circles, Group Dialogue Facilitation, Conflict and Communication Coaching. Speaks English and basic Spanish. I work remotely via Skype or in-person in the San Francisco Bay Area.

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.

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.
