Posted by anonymous | October 22, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Fair and honest

He’s not the kinda of attorney that will make false promises for you to hire him. He’s very honest and up front. He also focuses on the big picture and how a judge will see things. He’s very knowledgeable on the laws. All around he’s a good attorney. We have kept him on retainer for two years now for... child custody purposes and he has yet to let us Down. He also gives sound legal advice and always gets back to us in a timely manner.

Professional, courteous, and a force to be reckoned with

John King is a no bs attorney with a mind for fairness. His legal counsel has proven both useful and calming in an altogether stressful situation. And seriously, you’ve got to see him in the court room. Professional, courteous, an avid listener, and a force to be reckoned with: we can’t speak highly ...enough of John F. King.

Waste of time and money

This attorney is out of touch and a waste of your time. Hired him for alimony modification and he attended court hearing unprepared and made agreement with judge without my concent. Avoid this Attorney!

Replied last May 07, 2018

I was very sorry to read your review. I have not litigated an alimony modification case since September of 2015, in which case I successfully argued (in the Cumberland County Court of Common Pleas) a termination of my client's $1500/month alimony, so I assume the case you are referring to was quite some time ago. My policy is to never enter into an agreement on behalf of my client without having first reviewed it with my client. I would be happy to discuss this further with you, in person and at length, and of course at no expense to you, in order to address all of your concerns. Please feel free to contact my office at your convenience.

Nobody Better!!

John listens to his client and offers wisdom beyond words. I knew I picked the right attorney immediately following the consultation. John will fight for your rights. In my divorce I felt I had everything to lose and nothing to gain. The outcome was quite different!! Thank you so much John!

Very knowledgeable

Mr. King assisted me with my divorce from start to finish. It was a long process that involved filing, custody, child support, spousal support, selling a home, and dividing the marital estate (almost 3 years from filing to decree in hand). It was costly but without his expertise it could have been w...orse. He is honest, efficient, experienced, reasonable, and very professional. He doesn't get caught up in any of the drama and does his best to make sure things are done in a timely manner and as quick as possible. He is easy to reach via email or phone. I'm glad to have used his services.
