Don C. King

Spoke to Mr. King for over an hour about a few potential concerns about my child's future military career concerning some medical issues during the commissioning process. If your a parent that is losing sleep at night and has not eaten for a few days because you feel that the uncertainty of the milit...ary is bothering you when it concerns specific medical issues, and how the military would potentially react, then this is the man whom you need to consult with for your piece of mind and assurance. Mr. King went out of his way to talk to me on a Sunday evening after hours to address my questions and truly provided honest answers in a way that was decisive and reassuring which was greatly needed . I now feel very confident based on his extensive knowledge of medical issues and military procedures that my child will have a bright future serving our country .

Going through any legal matter is something that everyone hopes they never have to deal with. For our family, it was one of the scariest and most difficult things we have ever had to go through. My spouse was facing criminal charges that although were considered a misdemeanor in the civilian case - i...t was something that the government/military may not have consider minor. In fact, this one bad decision could have affected my spouse’s security clearance and ended a long time career. When we learned how the charges could effect my spouse’s employment, we quickly began researching attorneys familiar with security clearances. We stumbled upon Don King early on a Saturday morning. We left a quick inquiry to see if he could help - even though we were unsure he was the right attorney for us, as my spouse wasn’t in the military. We immediately got a response and it was like God had handpicked Don for us. I have worked with many attorneys in my line of work and to be quite honest felt nervous to have to work with one in this capacity - as sadly in my experience many attorneys can come across very intimidating and don’t always have that personable side to them. We learned from our initial phone consultation that we couldn’t have asked for a better attorney to represent us. Don was not only extremely knowledgeable in security clearance issues like ours (the way they work, how they are obtained and more importantly how they are retained) but his character, professionalism and just sincere kindness was felt from the very start. Right away, we could tell he would do everything he could to get us through this unfortunate and scary situation. Don worked tirelessly and quickly as we had a very short window of time to deal with this situation. We met and spoke with him over the weekend and he worked on our case immediately and was very responsive and available to us any hour of the day. When Don said he would be available if we had questions - he meant it. As people who have had only minor traffic tickets “on our record” this really caused a lot of stress and worry on us and our family. Don never made us feel bad for the endless questions we had and always gave us his professional and honest opinion. We truly appreciated the way he would break things down to us in more simple terms - so we could understand the legal jargon and government/military terms and processes. He made sure we were aware of all possibilities and in the end he got us the most favorable decision we could have asked for - allowing my spouse to keep the security clearance and employment. Don went above and beyond what we expected. We are truly grateful for Don and can’t express how much retaining him was the best decision our family made for this situation. We hope that families and people like us, who need help with issues that seem almost hopeless, will give Don King a call. There is no doubt that Don stands above the rest with his amazing experience in military/government and security clearances but for my family it was his personality, kindness and true desire to help people that stood out the most. We highly recommend Don King and his team! S.D., San Diego Client

I try to live an honest life but I am only human and made a bad judgement that could have cost me my career. Last year, I made a bad decision which lead to criminal charges against me. As a federal employee holding a security clearance I was stressed and at a loss on what this would do to my career. ...Would I lose my clearance, would I lose my job, who do I tell, what do I do? It was Saturday so we started leaving messages for attorneys specializing in security clearances and by God’s grace we received a call back that day from Don. He spent over an hour on the phone with us listening to my situation. Because of his background as a Navy JAG and his knowledge of the entire security reporting process by the end of our conversation I knew we needed to retain Don in order to keep my clearance and job. Don worked quickly and efficiently and took control of the process. Thanks to his experience and help, I received an email from my security officer a few weeks later stating that I was able to retain my security clearance and essentially my job. My family and I were in tears of the positive outcome and thankful for all the hard work Don had put in to make that outcome happen. I am so grateful for all Don has done for me and my family. - D.N., San Diego client
