Grant W. Davis
Associate Attorney
Meet Grant W. Davis, Phoenix Area Attorney
Grant's Background
Grant was born in Southern California but moved to Arizona at a young age. Having spent most of his life in the Valley, he’s happy to call it home. Grant received a degree in Economics from Northern Arizona University in 2020, and a Juris Doctorate from the University of San Diego School of Law in 2023. While it was difficult to leave the sunny beaches of San Diego, Grant moved back to Phoenix after finishing law school to start his career surrounded by his friends and family.
Before law school, Grant learned valuable legal skills from his internship at a personal injury firm here in Phoenix. During law school, Grant had the opportunity to work in USD’s Entrepreneurship clinic where he worked with local small businesses to handle various projects from entity formation to trademark registration. He had two in-house internships where he learned corporate transactional work. In addition, Grant was vice president for two student organizations at USD. Grant decided to start his legal career at Platt & Westby, first as a law clerk while he waited for his bar results, then as an associate attorney once he received his license from the state bar.
Outside of work, Grant enjoys watching professional sports, golfing, spending time with friends and family, and exploring new places to eat.

I am so grateful for the very capable team at Platt and Westby that assisted me recently. My original call was with Andy and he was wonderful. I then had the pleasure of having Abe litigate my arbitration which went very well and ended in my favor. I also had lovely contact with Allie and Patrick. A class act all around and I highly recommend them. I cannot thank them enough!read more

I can’t say enough good things about the attorneys at Platt & Westby. I first retained the firm to assist with a Partition Action. This case was also complicated by a separate family case, which I had a different firm representing me. Abe, Andy, and Amber all helped simplify my case for me. They were very knowledgeable and strategic with their approach. Everything was well explained.After the partition action case was complete, I retained P&W for a collections case. My family case ended up back in court so I retained them a third time, for my family case, (the case that a previous firm represented me for). P&W has made an impact on me and I’m grateful for that. That’s why they have my business.Throughout all of this, I’ve never felt like just another number, or another client. I truly feel my attorneys have vested themselves with each of my cases and there is no feeling like knowing you’re in good hands. I know I have a great advocate with P&W. I feel they have went above and beyond for me. There is no doubt in my mind that if I ever need another attorney to represent me, I will be calling P&W.I would highly recommend P&W to anyone that needs representation.read more

As a real estate investor, there are always issues that come up that can create a lot of stress but getting solid legal advice has proven to be incredibly helpful. After talking with Mr. Westby, I have a lot more confidence in my situation. He knew the law very well, presented viable options for how I could move forward, listened so well and attentively, and responded with empathy and kindness. If you are a real estate investor looking for good legal counsel, I would highly recommend giving Platt & Westby a call to discuss your situation with them. Thank you Mr. Westby! I am grateful for the time you spent with me.read more

I can’t express enough gratitude for the incredible work attorney Matthew Hayes did on my case. From the very beginning, he demonstrated unparalleled professionalism, compassion, and determination. Despite my prior felony, he managed to achieve what I thought was impossible—getting me into a diversion program. I know how slim the chances were, but Mr. Hayes believed in my case and fought tirelessly to make it happen.What truly stood out was how seamless he made the entire process. I didn’t have to step foot in court even once—he handled every appearance for me. He kept me informed every step of the way, and I always felt like I was in capable, trustworthy hands.As we approached trial, his strategic expertise and negotiation skills were evident. He managed to settle the case out of court right before trial, sparing me a long, stressful ordeal. His efforts not only gave me a second chance but also restored my hope in the legal system.If you’re looking for an attorney who is knowledgeable, dedicated, and truly invested in getting the best outcome for his clients, look no further than Matthew Hayes. He goes above and beyond, and I couldn’t recommend him more highly! Thank you, Matt!read more

EXCEPTIONAL - EXCEPTIONAL - EXCEPTIONAL!SO glad I did the free consultation!I have a dear 83 year old friend, I'm his POA, and a Trustee on his Revocable Living Trust.My friend wanted to make changes to his Trust, some which were just complicated enough to cause me concern about whether his original Trust could be amended to accommodate those changes, and whether I'd legally be able to enforce those changes -- to make sure his last wishes are honored -- when he passes.Our free consultation with Andy Rahtz, was invaluable in helping sort out our concerns! I am SO grateful, for my friend's sake!Andy went through our long list of "what if" questions, and gave SUCH great advice, taking the time to walk through the pros and cons of several ways we'd considered moving forward to accomplish what my friend wants to do.I appreciated SO much Andy's direct, frank, objective legal views, and because of this call, understand the best course of action, going forward, so *I* am able to best help my friend have his last wishes honored.I can't possibly give Andy a high enough endorsement for the peace of mind and GREAT legal advice he gave. Wow. Just wow.read more

I had a consult with Andy today, and as an attorney myself, I really appreciated his candor, honesty on Platt & Westby's expertise, and overall assistance. While it turns out they do not handle the type of case that I have, if you are looking for lawyers with integrity, these are your people. Their consult scheduling process was also very organized and easy. Thank you all!read more

I was referred to Andy Rahtz by a mutual friend to review a situation that I was told by other firms would be fruitless. Right from the start, Andy gave me incredibly helpful advice. He explained things in a way that was easy to understand and gave me hope. Extremely knowledgeable in all the different facets of law surrounding my business case, he answered any questions I had quickly, courteously, and (just as important 😉) accurately. I always felt he always had my best interest in mind and made it a priority to keep me in the loop with the progress being made on my case. I highly recommend Andy and the team at Platt & Westby! Thank you for helping me get justice!read more

RahtzHe gave me his undivided attention and seemed to genuinely care. In my experience, it has been very tedious and daunting to begin a conversation with an attorney, especially one at a law firm with other partners, etc. That is, usually law firms won't lend an ear, it seems, unless you pay $100-300 initial consulting fee, which is basically a $15 overview of your case and whether they think it's worthwhile$$$.However, not only was I surprised to see Attorney Rhatz offer a no-cost consultation, but he also kept it "real." He advised me with information that even seemed to work against his assumed interest in profit (i.e., he didn't try to exploit me for money), such as by providing me with self-help research suggestions, and even helped me put together an outline for my case.He didn't want me to lose more money winning with him (he didn't want me to spend so much money to retain him, that even if winning the case, I'd still be at a net negative dollar-loss).He gave me his undivided attention, asked questions that showed he actually paid attention, and was very resourceful with directing me towards credible sources of jurisprudence.What's more, is that he didn't throw me out after 15 minutes, but rather stayed with me until he felt I was sufficiently informed with the material and answers to questions to send me along my way.This man even read through all my notes and connected with me as a person.I also appreciated his aggressive, but civil, nature towards vanquishing the countering party. He is strategic, he is prepared to preempt the countering party's legal arguments by first calling them out himself, and sparks reassurance that he is sedulously and astutely on the case.Obviously, I would recommend attorney R Andrew Rahtz for the aforementioned reasons, despite only meeting with him one time on an preliminary consultation.read more

I wrote in to a law message board asking about a step in my case and Mr. Peter Westby replied with some sound advice. I emailed him to thank him for his advice and shared with him I was not being represented. He offered to meet with me to go over my case and possibly about representing me. In our meeting he allowed me to give him all the details of my case and he spent a good amount of time offering advise and insight to the law pertaining to my situation. Mr. Westby was very patient and allowed me to ask multiple questions and was thorough in his answers. Because I live 2 hours away and in a different county (Tucson), and because my case will most likely go to trial and the cost of travel for him to represent me I am unable to retain Mr. Westby as my attorney. However, if this were to be taking place in Phoenix I would hire him in a heartbeat. I appreciate his willingness to talk with me and spend his time assuring me about the steps i'll need to take in my case. He was very prompt in his reply to my question and then for scheduling a phone conference to go over a case he prob knew he wouldn't be able to take given the distance.read more

Meet with Peter today and was very impressed. I had a large tile job that was done improperly and was not sure if a lawsuit made economic sense. Peter was straightforward and told me that if the contractor did not have sufficent assets, a lawsuit would be risky because a favorable court decision might not result in a payout. I now know what I need to do thanks to Peter.read more
