Attorney Scott E. Davis is regarded as one of our nation's leading disability lawyers in representing clients who are disabled due to fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue immune dysfunction syndrome. Mr. Davis has successfully represented Social Security disability clients of all ages throughout the United States.

Mr. Davis' practice requires him to travel extensively to every region of the United States to represent clients at Social Security disability hearings. Mr. Davis has won Social Security disability cases in every region of the United States and in approximately 40 states.

Mr. Davis' extensive experience in representing chronic pain and chronic fatigue clients has provided him a very unique and compassionate understanding of the complex issues his clients face on a daily basis.

In addition, the experience he has acquired in working with hundreds of different Social Security personnel and judges nationwide has provided him with a most unique understanding of what makes the difference between winning and losing a disability case.

Mr. Davis tries to define his work as a disability attorney in three words… compassion, preparation, and persistence.

Mr. Davis' extensive experience as a disability lawyer is evident in the fact that his firm wins chronic pain and fatigue Social Security disability cases over 90% of the time. This success rate is significantly higher than the average disability attorney and more than double the success rate of Social Security claimants who are not represented. Perhaps most impressive about this success rate is the fact that chronic pain and chronic fatigue disability cases are often more difficult to win than the average case.

Over the past several years, Mr. Davis estimates he has personally spoken with thousands of individuals with questions regarding disability benefits. During this time, he has also exchanged email with approximately another 10,000 individuals worldwide.

Mr. Davis has also been a consistent financial contributor to chronic pain and chronic fatigue organizations worldwide who are dedicated to educating the public, conducting research and advancing the world's understanding of chronic pain and chronic fatigue medical conditions.

Social Security disability is federal law and not state specific; thus, a representative can practice Social Security law in all 50 states. Mr. Davis is licensed to practice law in Arizona, Nevada and Colorado. He earned his Juris Doctorate degree from the University of Nebraska and a Bachelors of Science in Business Administration from San Diego State University.

Mr. Davis resides in Phoenix, Arizona with his wife and two sons.
