Terrible lawyer

I wouldn't recommend Mr. King to anyone. He never met with me in person but only talked to me on the phone which is weird. He filed my case in the wrong court and once sent me a wrong document to sign because as he said it many times "would lose his head had it not been attached." My case was pretty ...amicable from the start, and we could have settled in a reasonable time, but I have a feeling Mr. King was stringing me along to get more money out of me. He went to court multiple times and never called me to update me on what was going on. It seems like he never did anything to be proactive until I picked up the phone and talked to him. Then you would get charged for the phone call as well for reminding him to do something that he should have known he had to do.

Outstanding Attorney

I hired Matthew King for what I hoped would be a short case of father trying to re-open entire parenting agreement. 2 years later it finally settled after what turned into a contentious battle with an unrealistic opposing side. Needless to say Mr King was amazing the entire time! So grateful I found ...him on a whim and gave him a shot. He holds his composure constantly under pressure and in the end it always did us well. Judge and GAL seemed to respect him a lot as opposed to other attorneys I witnessed. He genuinely cared about the case and child involved. Always available. Could call or meet him anytime needed! Always remembered the facts over the years and used them very wisely. One step ahead of opposing side all the time. Smart guy, doesn’t put on ‘the show’, consults you the entire time on smart decisions so he’s not just running up a bill. I’ve referred multiple people to Matthew since and everyone has been so grateful to find him. You won’t go wrong with this attorney!

Efficient and Helpful

Mr. King and his associates provided legal council for my divorce last year. During my initial consultation with Mr. King, I knew that this attorney would represent my needs and the needs of my young children well. Mr. King is responsive, professional, and reasonable. I never got the sense that he... was only in this for billable hours. He has a well developed law acqumen with the ability to connect with his clients. I plan to retain Mr. King for any future family law issues I may incounter (hopefully none).

Matthew John King

Mr. King was very kind and diplomatic in handling my case. He was able to convince my ex-spouse to work with me for a favorable resolution to our conflict. I was impressed with his knowledge regarding my dilemma. He was prompt in returning all of my calls. He answered my questions in a manner that ...I could easily understand. Very importantly, Mr. King is honest. I did not use up all of my retaining fee. Mr. King informed me that the firm would be sending me a check for the unused balance (and he did). I would recommend Matthew John King to anyone in need of legal services. He's ace high in my book!

divorce client

Hiring Mr. King for my divorce was a very costly mistake. He was not up on current laws on maintenance that came into effect on Jan.1, 2015 and his advice led to costing me greatly instead of pushing to have this case settled prior to this date. Also, he was very unprepared at pre-trial and needed to... verify facts that were previously sent to him. I would strongly urge anyone to reconsider hiring this lawyer.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I've known Matthew King since we opposed each other in a Family Law case, where he always comported himself professionally, knowledgeably and courteously. I know that his clients get the best domestic relations representation possible because he's concentrated his practice in this area in this area, that he's always forthright with his clients about the issues in their cases and I know that in his practice he provides the utmost degree of care for his clients.
