Don C. King

If you have any questions about security clearances and the process don't hesitate to call Don. I was able to get a free consultation from Don that relieved my soul. He explained how my Immigration status ties to others' security clearance process, and what the department of defense would want to kno...w about my relationship with the investigated person. He also also advised me on what to do in the worst case scenario since I am likely to be prepared for the worst.

It’s impossible for me to give you all the full story of what my command did to me out to sea in only 4,000 characters so I’ll just leave you with the ending because that’s all that matters. The outcome after hiring Don King. Once we got back to port I contacted don after I found his number on google... as a last resort. I was desperate and hopeless. I sent a pdf file of all of the medical evidence as well as documented evidence I gathered over the previous months via email to Don. Shortly after we met face to face in mid December right before I went on holiday leave. I paid him his retainer fee & 2.5 months later I was honorably discharged from the Navy with a dd-214 in hand. Throughout the entire process of don representing me he always reached out to check on me. And he made it clear to my entire chain of command that if there was any retaliation for me hiring an attorney that there would be swift & severe consequences. He always offered moral support & answered the phone any time I had a question. He protected me on my way out & taught me how to properly navigate this entire process in a safe & effective manner. He was absolutely ruthless when it came to fighting to get me a good deal & make sure I didn’t get screwed over with a negative discharge that negatively effected my life outside of the military. Don is a man with a good moral compass, and 30 years prior navy jag experience as a retired captain. His knowledge & experience is absolutely priceless & if you pay for his services you will absolutely receive the best outcome that a legal representative can possibly provide. In a matter of 2.5 months Don did what congress & the entire department of the navy couldn’t do combined. I couldn’t be happier that I came across Don’s name & I’ll forever be grateful to call him a friend. If anyone is being abused by their chain of command I highly suggest you start documenting absolutely everything that happens to you & contact don king. Once you give him the evidence of what has been happening to you, he will get you what you need every single time.

Each case is different and results cannot be guaranteed, but I believe that my positive outcome was largely due to the work that Don put in as I was attempting a "Hail Mary" to save my career. I originally hired Don to represent me for a BCNR claim after a Board of Inquiry (BOI) had substantiated... 2 allegations of misconduct against me, and was recommending to the Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Manpower and Reserve Affairs) for me to be separated with a General (Under Honorable) characterization. As a Naval Officer with over 11 years committed to serving my country, I had just about given up and felt as though even though I was innocent of what I was being accused of, the system was rigged against me. I regretted not hiring an attorney earlier on, and though I felt the free legal assistance I got from the JAGs on base was good, their hands are tied in terms of the scope of their representation. After talking with Don a couple times (both times for around an hour and without any cost to me), he agreed to take my case, as I was interested in retaining an attorney to fight for me to be reinstated after separation. Instead, what he was able to do was to write a compelling letter to the ASN, which resulted in me being fully acquitted. My command was surprised and backed off me finally, and the free Jags were amazed that the results of a BOI would be disapproved at the SECNAV level. I will say that hiring Don cost me more than some other attorneys I consulted with, but it is worth having a retired O-6 JAG with Don's level of experience on your side. Being recently retired and well-respected in his community, he still has the right connections that can be a difference maker in cases such as mine. He doesn't mess around or beat around the bush, and I appreciated his straight-shooting approach. I am confident that Don will fight to get the best possible outcome for his clients. He has done that for me. If you are reading this and your back is against the wall, do yourself a favor and take advantage of the free consultation with Don. If you're smarter than I was at the time, hire an attorney as soon as you can when facing legal troubles. The government has limitless resources at its disposal and you need a competent, confident attorney to advocate for your rights. Though I've never met him as we did all of our work over the phone and via text/email, I hope to shake his hand and get a picture with him one day. Don did the impossible for me.
