The Best Lawyer Ever!
Brian is one of most of the trusted attorneys in the area. He takes time to understand his clients and be there when they need help. It is rare to find an attorney who can take care of you in the courtroom and will call to check on you just to make sure you are alright.

Brian W. King's Lawyer Endorsements
"He is an amazing Family Law Attorney who diligently works to help his clients obtain a better outcome."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I have known Mr. King for several years and have worked opposing counsel against him in several cases. He is one of the only attorneys that has ever given me a run for my money. Unfortunately, I was not able to help a friend in need when she sought legal representation. After consulting with Mr. King when a friend needed a family law attorney, I realized why he was so effective in court, he actually cares about his clients. Mr. King took the time to explain the process and ensure that all of our questions were answered. When I was a witness in the case, Mr. King, out of four attorneys, did the best job in court. He also took the time properly prepare me for court when I was called as a witness in the case. It was clear that he was the most prepared and ready to hold the other attorneys to their task. As a lawyer that was a witness for the first time, I was put at ease by his demeanor. Mr. King's zealous representation of his client is a model for other attorneys. If you need a family l"
"Brian is a really great guy. He is easy to work with and gets great results for his clients. He has also done a fair amount of pro bono work and is someone who cares about the community."
"I endorse this lawyer. Very honest and trustworthy."
"Brian is a Board Certified Specialist in Family Law and has been representing clients in contested domestic matters for many years. Brian is an excellent negotiator, and many of his cases settle because he is able to work out an agreement that is beneficial to both parties. Brian is able to represent the interests of his clients effectively while being professional and courteous to opposing counsel and to the Court. Brian served as counsel to the Department of Social Services for several years and I believe this gives him insight into the workings of that agency that benefits his clients. DSS is frequently involved in domestic cases, particularly child custody matters, and Brian is able to navigate these very effectively due to his knowledge and experience in dealing with DSS. Brian King is an excellent lawyer and I have referred numerous cases to him in the past because I know that he will do his very best. I endorse this lawyer."
"Brian is the go-to attorney when a unique legal issue arises. He can identify a problem easily, think outside the box, and efficiently resolve the matter, setting your mind at ease. As a board certified family law specialist, Brian brings extra wisdom and experience to all his cases. I fully endorse this attorney."
