Attorney

Peter is a horrible attorney He was supposed to change my business entity from an LLC to a Corporation. Did neither. I payed him 1500.00 up front. He took my money, and wont return my phone calls.

A weight off my shoulders

King Law took the weight off my shoulders! Efficient, Honest, Knowledgeable. I now realize our incorporation process could have been a disaster had I kept trying to take care of it with the template based product. As the President and CEO of a growing corporation, I seem to have more "to do's" than I... have time. They took the time and the responsibility upon themselves to make sure all our "T's" were crossed and our "i's" dotted and much much more. As our young corporation progresses and grows I realize King Law has foreshadowed all our needs going forward without me knowing I needed it. Great customer service assured they always answered or returned my calls promptly. They always stopped to take the time to answer all of my questions and kept me updated on the status of the process. The knowledge they have has given me time to run a corporation instead of learning to be a lawyer. Working with them, I have realized their knowledge stretches way beyond the work they have already done for us and I intend to use them for any personal/family legal issues as well as all of our corporation's legal needs going forward. Thanks Mr. King, you and your staff are a life saver.
