Davis & Associates stresses municipal-only practice and availability in Juno Beach interview
Summary
Keith Davis told the committee Davis & Associates focuses exclusively on municipal law and emphasized availability, prior charter work in Juno Beach, and a track record of coordinating complex intergovernmental projects.
Keith Davis, representing Davis & Associates, told the Juno Beach evaluation committee his practice is 100% municipal law and said that background allows the firm to be responsive and efficient for small towns. He walked the committee through examples including a tri-party project in Tequesta and his involvement with a charter amendment process in Juno Beach years earlier, describing that work as process-focused rather than political advocacy.
Davis said he prioritizes clear, practical legal advice for elected officials, explains risks and defenses candidly, and reallocates firm resources to meet deadlines. He emphasized availability even while traveling, noting he sometimes handles client matters remotely. Some committee members raised concerns about appearance issues tied to the earlier charter work; Davis said his role was procedural and that he did not advocate for one political outcome over another.
The committee discussed firm experience, local ties, and any perceived "baggage" related to prior work while weighing the firms' comparative fit for Juno Beach.
