Extremely helpful - highly recommended

Ms King helped me with my DUI charge. She outlined how the process would go very meticulously, answering all of my questions along the way. She was able to get the DUI dropped to a lesser charge, one that will not negatively impact my future. I am truly grateful to have had worked with her and would ...highly recommend her to anyone in need of similar services!

Very Satisfied

Ms King defended me contractor case. She was very thorough and well versed on the law and what type of defense we were to present. She was very honest with explaining my options and what would most likely happen. She was confident in the courtroom and well spoken. She did not pigeon hole me into wha...t she wanted to do and considered all the factors involved with deciding what type of plea we should make. I was very satisfied with how she handled the case.

Kelly King is by far the best Lawyer in All of loudoun County

Kelly King was actually a public defender when she represented me a few times and she did so much better and so much more work than this hired attorney my father decided to hire,which I was totally against. Because I have so much faith in Kelly. Every single time she represented me she was incredibl...y professional, completely prepared for anything. SHE ACTUALLY WENT OVER AND BEYOND WHEN SHE DEFENDED ME. AND I WOULD EVEN SAY DEFEND IS NOT EVEN A GOOD OR ACCURATE WRD FOR WHAT SHE DID FOR ME. SHE WAS SO SUPPORTIVE HELLPFUL KEPT ME WELL INFORMED AND EVEN WEHN I WAS TOTALLY IN THE WROONG AND MADE SOME BAD CHOICES, SHE GOT ME THE BEST AGREEMENTS WITH THE PROSECUTION. SHE IS THE BEST LAWYER LITERALLY EVER, I WILL ALWAYS AND FIRST AND FOR most BOAST, RECOMMEND, LET EVERYONE KNOW WHATN INCREDIBLE DEFENSE AGTORNEY SHE IS. LASTLY, NOTNLY IS SHE THE. OST INCREDIBLE LAWYER, SHE IS SO GENUINE AND CARES SO MUCH FOR THE PEOPLE SHE IS WORKING WITH, AND THIS WAS WHENHE WAS ONLY A PUBLIC DEFENDERS, PUBLIC DEFENDERS ARE WELL KNOWN FOR DOING HORRINLE WORK, THEY TIPICA LY COULDNT CARE LESS ABLUT THEIR CLIETS. BUT I AM SO THANKFULTHATI GOT KELLY AS MYPUBLIC DEFENDER, STILL TO THIS DAY YEARS AND YEARS LATER ACTER SHE DEFENDED ME ANS Y CAXES, SHE STILL CARES ABOUT ME AND IS THE KINDEST MOST SYPATHETIC, SUPPORTIVE NOT JYST LAWER BUT PERSON EVER ..... IF YOU AE IN NEED OF A DEFENSE ATTORNEY KELLY KING IS LITERALLY THE INLY WAY TO GO. SHE IS INCREDIBLE WITH EVERYTHING.

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.
