Andrew “Andy” Peters Davis was born and attended high school in Franklin County, Tennessee, where he graduated with honors. After graduating, he attended Miami University in Oxford, Ohio and played outside linebacker for the Redhawks in the Middle Atlantic Conference. Andy decided in the junior year of his undergraduate work to study abroad at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia where his focus was on business and law. Andy then returned to Miami to finish his senior year where he was chosen to participate in an international business law program over the Summer where he traveled throughout Europe learning about many countries and their differing approaches and applications to business and law. After graduating from Miami University with a business degree and legal studies minor, he received his law degree from California Western School of Law in San Diego, California. Following law school, he returned to Winchester, Tennessee and joined Davis, Kessler & Davis. In the beginning of any lawyer’s legal career opposing counsel will often challenge the new guy. Despite being challenged, Andy won his first six jury trials and since then he has persistently achieved success. For example, Andrew’s most recent criminal case was a trial before a jury for three full days but when the members of the jury retired to deliberation it only took them a half hour to confidently return a verdict of not guilty.Andy is more than capable of handling cases of all degrees boasting an incredible level of success in civil matters like car wrecks, medical malpractice, wrongful death, and criminal charges from the unfortunate DUI to serious felony charges. Andy takes a newer approach to providing legal advice coined the “Arthurian Method” in which he and several other lawyers discuss multiple different paths to get the client the best results. Brainstorming with the greatest legal minds in Middle Tennessee is Andy’s secret to success. Andy is able to adapt and handle almost any matter. Andy has been selected by The National Trial Lawyers Top 100 for the past four years in a row for his astounding lists of triumphs. For example, Andrew has recently obtained a jury verdict of over $1,000,000 dollars; in respect to civil auto injury cases, his recent five jury verdicts were awarded a full five times over the insurance company’s offer of settlement before the trials. His winning history has allowed for powerful negotiating on behalf of his clients.

Andy will fight a case all the way to a verdict because he believes it is morally wrong to sell out his clients. Every case that comes across his desk isn’t “another case”. It’s your case and Andy treats it as if he was the one sitting in your place. Andy has proudly handled cases from Florida to Boston, Massachusetts so he will gladly go anywhere if justice requires it for his clients. Andrew’s primary representation area stretches from Nashville to Davis, Kessler, and Davis’ newest office in Chattanooga where he can be found at least once a week.

His success is not limited to the courtroom. Andy is happily married with two twin babies Aiston and Liv and a pair of wonderful dogs, Fancy and Cubbie. Fancy can be found very often assisting Andy with his most difficult cases and greeting clients as they enter the Winchester office.

As a father and husband, Andy takes pleasure in donating his time to help others who are trying to better themselves. Andy volunteers his services to successful participants of Blue Monarch, a rehabilitation center that provides care to women battling drug addiction. If you’re a loving mother taking the steps to make a change in your life, but you no longer have custody over your children, Andy would be the one to help remove your criminal troubles and stand by you in civil custody court. He also routinely donates his time to the Franklin County Drug Recovery Court Program. Same as in the Blue Monarch Program, if the participant is excelling in his recovery and legal services can aid the recovery then Andy will be there to help them cross the finish line. His kind nature doesn’t stop there- he led the charge for the people of Franklin County by mailing over 2000 letters to Governor Haslam requesting the Governor to provide funding for the Franklin County Industrial Technology College. In 2017, the Governor approved the 8.4 million project which will hopefully benefit the generations to follow.

Andy acknowledges he is in the “bad news” business. Often times, when attorney services are necessary something bad has inevitably occurred. Whether it is dealing with injuries, arrest, bankruptcy or permanent disability, Andy has a remarkable talent for navigating his clients through the worst times finding the best way. Turning bad news into good news is the secret to success! As famously stated, ‘You can’t stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.”
