Incredible Defense Attorney

Mr King and all of the team at First Coast Criminal Defense are AMAZING! This was our first experience (and hopefully the last) with hiring a defense attorney and Mr King was truly a superstar. The entire team at First Coast Criminal Defense communicated frequently about the status of my brother's ca...se throughout the entire process and Mr King was always available to answer the multitude of questions we had. Mr King was an incredible advocate and negotiator when dealing with the state's attorney and judge, which culminated in the best outcome we could have ever hoped for. I highly recommend Mr King and First Coast Criminal Defense to anyone who may need legal representation!

Excellent Criminal Defense Attorney

Alex King and his staff provided excellent legal counsel for a family member who needed his services. Mr. King’s thorough preparation for the case including the mitigation package was critical to the successful outcome of the case. Mr. King and his team spent time with not only his client but our fam...ily in helping us understand the case and all the steps in the process. Mr. King and his team were responsive and knowledgeable. We were very pleased with all aspects of the work that Mr. King provided and would highly recommend him.

Strongest endorsement

I highly recommend Alex to anyone facing a difficult legal situation. I was being over-prosecuted, with law enforcement constantly pressuring me, and there was a real risk of charges being filed. Alex stepped in and successfully prevented any charges from moving forward. From the beginning, Alex was... calm, responsive, and always available when I needed him. His deep knowledge of the law and the local court system was evident in every conversation. His advice was consistently accurate and thoughtful, and he went above and beyond by also providing clear guidance to my spouse during this stressful time. What truly set Alex apart was his extensive experience in the region and his professional relationships within the legal community. These allowed him to navigate the process effectively, steer things toward a favorable outcome, and keep me well-informed about what to expect next. The legal system can feel slow, confusing, convoluted, and unpredictable — everything Alex is not. He brought clarity, steadiness, and confidence when I needed it most. I’m deeply grateful for his representation and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to others.

DUI Representation with Full Support and Successful Resolution

Alex and his team are amazing! Navigating a DUI is tricky, and you need to be timely. Mr. King was on the phone with me almost immediately after I was released from jail and answered all of my questions. After hired, his team got in touch with me ASAP and got to work right away to ensure I was able t...o obtain my hardship license. They have everything organized and ready to go in easy to follow messages and documents. I was able to provide them everything they needed for a successful resolution to my case by humanizing me in front of the judge to better understand me as a person and defend my character. They were able to get my charge reduced to reckless driving. I did not have to appear in court- Mr. King went on my behalf. I’m now finished with my probation (early term) and in the process of getting this sealed off my record with their help. I appreciate everything they have done for me. I would absolutely recommend him and his team. I worked with Whitney in the beginning, and she was wonderful. I am working with Teresa now, and she is also wonderful. Mr. King is very good at explaining all of your options and ensuring you feel that you’ve made an educated choice that is right for you. No pressure either way- just full guidance and support.
