Excellent

Chad makes sure you understand the legal process necessary to win your case, as well as doing what is necessary to have evidence for that win. He does not take the easy road, but leaves no stone unturned.

OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!

If you need an attorney for anything especially family law go no further! I have been dealing with custody issues for 11 years and had many attorneys. CHAD KING IS AMAZING!!! He gave me fair prices with choices. He cut no corners and got the job done faster and better than any attorney I have ever... hired! He is personable, he will return texts and keep you updated. Most of all he cares deeply about your case! I will never use a different attorney again and suggest you do the same!! BOW TIE LAWYERS ARE REAL WINNERS!!! Thank yo again Chad!!!

Outstanding Divorce Attorney- Highly Recommend

Divorce is one of the toughest events you encounter in life. Due to the size of my community, I thought it best to hire a lawyer from another town. Although I never met him in person, Chad King did an incredible job of handling both the emotional and legal aspects of divorce. He treated me like a per...son not just a client and worked extremely hard to strive for an amicable resolution. I was very pleased with the results. I highly recommend using Chad King for any family law related matter.

Best Adoption Attorney

My husband and I started a domestic adoption with a different attorney in a different state. The baby arrived as planned and the lawyer began asking for more money and became very shady about things. We got home to Mississippi and felt very uncomfortable so I began calling lawyers in MS. Many promise...d to help me only to dodge my phone calls a few days later. These were AAAA qualified adoption attorneys, supposedly highly qualified in the adoption field. After lots of hopelessness, someone mentioned Chad King in the Jackson area. Chad was very professional and assured me he would begin working on everything that day. I explained the entire situation and told him I did not look for it to be easy. He said no problem and assured me again he would start on it that day. After receiving a few emails the first day, I knew he meant what he said and we finally had the legal help we needed and searched for over 2 months. After fighting to move our case from out of state to MS and having to jump through lots of hoops, our adoption has been finalized and it was only because of Chad King. He truly was amazing and I feel like my family will always be indebted to him. He saved us when no one else would. I highly and whole heartedly recommend Chad King for any family attorney needs, particularly for adoption.

"Chad King is one of the most passionate and knowledgeable attorney's I have had the pleasure of meeting in my legal career. What sets Chad apart from other attorneys is his drive to understand the reasons underlying his client's need for legal action. He truly cares about his clients’ situation and does everything in his power to address their underlying issues to avoid the legal process and save them the time, money, and stress associated with family law litigation. However, when it is apparent that legal action is needed Chad's knowledge of the law and experience make his legal advice second to none. He is a zealous advocate for his clients and does everything in his power to get them the best results possible. I strongly endorse Chad King."
