If you looking to hire a lawyer .Don't think twice Kelly is the best of the best she love her job and what she does . Thank you Kelly King again our Family couldn't be more Happier with your service.

The Asset

Kelly King is by far the BEST for a job well done. I am by far impressed by her representation. All the promises she couldn’t guarantee, she made happen. DWI/ Reckless charge, violation of probation case. Saved me from 60 days in jail, with a deal of a slight extension on my interlock and 1 year s...upervision. I’m so thankful for her intelligent, passionate counsel.

Great experience

Had two cases she was willing to take on one was a speeding another a reckless. She gave me advise and responded in a timely manner with any questions I did have. She was able to get the desire outcome from both cases resulting in me not having jail time or anything other than paying a fine. For the ...price too she was well worth every penny and would highly recommend to anyone.

Honest and Ethical Lawyer

I reached out to the Law Office of Kelly L. King for a legal matter surrounding a rental property of mine. She was very responsive and professional from the very first moment I spoke with her. I ended up not having to hire her due to my legal matter evolving to the point where it did not require he...r services. By that point, she had already invested time and resources into my situation. I offered to compensate her appropriately, but she refused. I've dealt with a lot of lawyers throughout my professional career, and then in my private life as-a-result my rentals and etc. Most, but not all, are eager to press legal matters for the sole purpose of obtaining payment. They are running a business after all. However, when I decided not to press forward with the legal matter I contacted Kelly about, she actually stated that she felt I was "doing the right thing" given the evolution of my situation. I honestly expected her to pressure me in pursuing the legal matter in lieu of dropping the matter. In short, the above situation speaks volumes regarding Kelly's character. Said differently, she put morality above enriching herself, which isn't too common in today's society. Finally, she also practices animal law and has a photo with her dog on her homepage. How cool is that? I wish you all the best in life. Take care. Cheers!

  • 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.
