Davis & Main is a law firm based in Santa Fe, New Mexico founded by Clifford Main.
Better Call Saul
Season 2
It is revealed in a continuation of events from "Marco" that Davis & Main offered Jimmy a job at their law firm, but he declined due to hurt feelings from Chuck's betrayal and feeling that he wouldn't see Kim again. However, after it is clear that Kim doesn't want to participate in cons with Jimmy all the time, he changes his mind and accepts the job offer. ("Switch")
Jimmy comes under heat from Clifford Main after filming a commercial involving Sandpiper Crossing behind his back, despite the high amount of calls they received thanks to its airing. While the board votes 2-1 to fire Jimmy, Cliff discounts this and offers Jimmy a second chance with conditions. Jimmy begins to feel that he is more comfortable being his own man and doing things his way than trying to mold himself to other people's motives. After committing various schemes around the firm in order to be fired to still receive his bonus, Cliff deduces Jimmy's plans all along and fires him, but wonders why Jimmy would even take the job offer if he felt he wasn't fitting in with the firm. ("Amarillo", "Inflatable")
Season 6
At Davis & Main, Erin Brill approaches Cliff and tells him that Craig and Betsy Kettleman want to meet him, seeking to sue their former lawyers at Hamlin, Hamlin & McGill. The couple tell Cliff that Craig's conviction for embezzlement was due to Howard's alleged cocaine abuse. Cliff refuses to take their case, telling the couple that doing so would be a conflict-of-interest as his firm has partnered with HHM on another case; that reversing Craig's conviction is unlikely; and that Cliff doesn't believe the Kettlemans' claims about Howard. The Kettlemans walk out frustrated. However, when he returns to his office, Cliff, having seen Howard in apparent possession of cocaine at the country club, is troubled enough by their story that he is unable to continue playing his guitar. ("Carrot and Stick")
Trivia
- "Davis & Main" was the name of a restaurant in Vince Gilligan's hometown, Richmond, Virginia, named for the fact that it was on the corner of Davis St. and Main St. It was later renamed "The Continental Divide" before closing in 2018 and reopening and currently operating as a Benny’s Pizza chain.
