104 MILLENNIUM M uller Davis is a lawyer with over 50 years of professional experience. As a child, Mr. Davis became intrigued and eager to work with his father, who was in the legal field.

To prepare for his career, he obtained a Bachelor of Arts from Yale University in 1957 and a PhD from Harvard University in 1960. Shortly after, he gained admittance to the Illinois State Bar and the U.S. District Court in Illinois. He began practicing law in 1960 and soon made partner at Davis | Friedman, where he has served as of counsel since 2014. He was previously a continuing legal education lecturer, as well as a matrimonial law and litigation advisor for the Michael Reese Medical Research Institute Council. Mr. Davis has been a co-author and contributing author of several books on marriage and divorce, and has written articles for multiple law journals. He also served as a member of the editorial board of the Equitable Distribution Journal from 1984 to 2007. His work in the field earned him the Samuel S. Berger Award from the Illinois chapter of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers in 2009 and recognition as Chicago’s Lawyer of the Year by Best Lawyers in 2010. He is a member of the American Bar Association, the Federal Bar Association, the Illinois Bar Association, and the Chicago Bar Association.
