    King Law-Exceeding Expectations

    Posted by

    Personal Experience- My family was in need of sound legal advice in a few different categories in reference to estates, family law and legal defense. In each avenue Mr. King and his staff exceeded our expectations. With these diverse needs we expected difficulty in hiring an attorney. Mr. King was able to help through representation, research and referrals to make sure that all of our needs were met. Personal Statement- Mr. King has been a pleasure to work with for my families legal needs. He has proved his dedication time and time again. He appears to have put in a great amount of effort to be a well rounded attorney understanding the intricacies for many avenues of law. Mr. Kings knowledge has helped us in many cases both personally and professionally. As a professional consultant I have been lucky to have the asset of King Law at my disposal. Mr. King is our first recommendation when a client, friend or family member needs legal assistance. In closing the King Law firm exceeded all of my personal expectations and is my families first stop for any legal representation or advising needs.

    Drivers License Re-Instatement

    Posted by

    Mr. King knew exactly what it was going to take in order to get my driving privileges re-instated with the State of Illinois. We followed his detailed plan and we were successful. Mr. King was very good at calming the nerves and preparing me for the hearing. Mr. King was always "on time" for each appointment we had and took the necessary time to complete the task at hand for that day. I would highly recommend Mr. King!

    Need an out of state Lawyer?

    Posted by

    Finding an out of state Lawyer can be a difficult task. I was fortunate to have Patrick King recommended to me. I am a resident of Ga. and received a citation in Illinois for speeding 65 mph in a 45mph photo enforced construction zone. I was not stopped by an officer and was unaware of the citation until it arrived in the mail. The citation required a "mandatory court appearance" In one phone conversation Patrick was able to detail his plan of action, assure me that I would not have to be present in Illinois for the trial and explain how he would seek a favorable disposition of the case. Trial was last week with the case being dismissed with no court cost or fines. Obviously I am very pleased. I found Patrick to be very easy to work with, very competent and extremely prompt. I was also impressed with the attitude and desire to help exhibited by his staff in his absence.

    Professional and Forthright Service

    Posted by

    Patrick was welcoming from the start and, when he was hesitant about the nature of any legal question we had, he did not mince words to lead us on, but would state honestly that we might need to check with someone else for expertise in that area. The services he provided were accurate and efficiently handled. Nice work!
