Biography

Davis graduated from Miami University in 1984 and Ohio State University Moritz College of Law in 1987.[2] He subsequently joined the law firm Quarles & Brady, ultimately becoming a partner and chair of the firm's insurance recovery group. As an attorney, Davis participated in commercial litigation, and assisted clients with legal risk-management strategies dealing with long-term liabilities. In cases before the Wisconsin Supreme Court and in arbitration, he has secured judgements on behalf of insured clients in multi-million dollar insurance disputes arising out of Asbestos and other long tail claims, including the precedent-setting case of Plastics Engineering v. Liberty Mutual. In addition, he has had an active practice on litigating non-compete claims.[2]

In addition to his career as an attorney, he has been a lecturer and adjunct professor of law at Marquette University Law School, and, from 2007 to 2009, he was an elected village trustee of Fox Point, Wisconsin, a Milwaukee suburb.[2]

On September 4, 2019, Davis was appointed to the Wisconsin Court of Appeals by Democratic Governor Tony Evers. He filled the vacancy created by the departure of Judge Brian Hagedorn, who had been elected to the Wisconsin Supreme Court.[3] Davis is chambered in Waukesha. His seat is up for election in 2021.
