Peter Davis was born and raised in Kansas City. He is a graduate of the University of Kansas and a proud Jayhawk. He moved to Arizona in 2006 to be closer to his wife’s family. In 2008 he again moved his family, this time to Houston to attend law school at the University of Houston
Upon Graduation from law school in 2011 Peter immediately moved back to Arizona and began working for a prominent law firm representing clients obtain Social Security Disability. In 2016 and 2017 he was Rated 10 Best in Arizona for exceptional and outstanding client service in the Social Security Section by the American Institute of Legal Counsel.
After almost 7 years successfully representing clients in disability cases, Peter became an Assistant Attorney General and represented the State of Arizona in IV-D Child Support cases. During that time he appeared in hundreds of evidentiary hearings on behalf of the State.
While Peter learned much from his time as an Assistant Attorney General, he missed advocating for an individual and moved back in to private practice in the area of Family Law, taking what he had previously learned and applying it to this area of practice.

- Q. The father of my son is on the birth certificate we never been married what right does he have when it comes to custody

There are several factors to this, and most attorneys provide a free consultation to discuss these.
