Excellent Law Firm

King Law is an exceptional law firm to work with. My gratitude for their team is immense! After thorough research last year, my family and I chose to work with King Law, and from start to finish, we were thoroughly impressed. The team consistently kept us informed and provided the necessary informati...on. Alongside excellent communication, we achieved outstanding results, thanks to King Law. A special thanks to Dan, Greg, and Jesse for their proactive communication and collaboration. If you're thinking about working with King Law, go for it—you won't be disappointed; they truly are the best! Thank you once again, King Law!

Excellent Lawyer

Mr. King and his team are truly amazing. He is informative, responsive, knowledgeable, and professional throughout my title IX case. I have never dealt with any legal issues and he was there supporting me every step of the way. The staff here are extremely professional and friendly and I had an amazi...ng experience working with them. Mr. King was very transparent throughout the case and was not afraid to give me his honest opinion. Overall I felt very reassured having him and his team working on my case. I would definitely recommend King law if anyone needed legal advice.

Robert King review

Robert King helped me navigate the legal system after car accident that caused significant injury and monetary loss. It was a stressful situation and Bo King and his office staff were informative and always available to answer questions and provide the best legal advice to help me in this personal I ...just law suit. Bob's expertise and skills with the law and investigation allowed me to relax and recuperate while he worked to assure me of the best outcome. I am eased with his professional skills and advice. He did exactly what he said he would do in working this case for me. I highly recommend him if you have concerns or questions on what to do next after an accident or any other situation requiring legal advice. He guides you fairly and honestly.

Extraordinary Lawyer

Mr. King was an extraordinary lawyer. He handled my sensitive case in a professional manner and was able to help me achieve the most favorable outcome. Not only was Mr. King and his team able to defend me in the best way possible, his calm and empathetic demeanor allowed me to stay hopeful throughout... the entire process. I am eternally grateful for the services of Robert King (and his colleagues) and I strongly recommend him to anyone in need of legal aid.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
