Took my money upfront and never did anything that I have to find hire another lawyer

Took my money upfront (never refunded to me) and never did anything even write a letter. So that I have to find and hire another lawyer. He is such a scumbag. Also it’s so hard to get contact with him. Didn’t respond. I want him to do a very small thing and he doesn’t want to do it. He just want to p...ush me to the court. And call him he never responds and just totally totally waste my time. He always too busy.

Scott King - You can Trust and Depend on him.

Scott has been my attorney since 2005 and he’s represented me twice. Above board, reasonable prices and like a pit bull when fighting for you. Don’t go anywhere else. Just call him and do what he says, because that’s what he’ll do for you.

Tough and Competent

Scott King has represented my companies and myself for the past six years. He is the constant professional who knows his stuff. I feel confident anytime I need legal advice or need Scott in my corner in the courtroom. I highly recommend him to anyone that appreciates a tough competent attorney that ...can handle anything from a traffic ticket to major company litigation. Mr. King represented me during a tough fight with my former business partners that lasted over a year. In the end, I was very satisfied with the outcome and feel that Mr. King had my back the whole time. His lines of communications were excellent, yet I didn’t feel like he took advantage of me with the typical lawyer stopwatch.

Horrible attorney, should be disbarred!

I retained Scott King and had to fire him because he took my money (that he never refunded). Based on my personal experience, Scott King is very unprofessional and should be disbarred. He didn't do anything on my case, did NOT show up for my court hearing and provided no notice, did NOT let me know t...hat the opposing counsel sent him documents and requests to respond, lied that there was no documents received (I had to find out from my ex husband and his attorney that it was not true,) etc. the list of his improper conduct is endless. He would have screwed my case if I didn't retain another attorney to correct all the damage he has done.

Helpful in my time of need.

Mr. King took on a case to help me retain custody of my granddaughter. His fees were reasonable and he worked hard on this case. I really appreciate all the effort he and his staff put into bringing her back to Atlanta.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2011.

Review Panel Reprimand issued in GA, 2011

updated on 10/08/2011

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case, the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
