Don C. King

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Mr. Don, Holly and his entire team. Thanks to him, 2 years of nightmare are over. In my search for a lawyer, I came across those who wanted a lot of money, but did not even understand how to help me, those who did not want to take on my case, but Don im...mediately understood everything, and we all began to painstakingly work on solving my problem. I was wildly nervous, could not sleep, scrolled through my head how the trial would go .. and then the day X came .. Don literally charged me with confidence that everything would be fine. He simply destroyed the prosecution and their witnesses, especially the witness whom the prosecutor forced to lie under oath. I encountered lawyers from different fields, but they were all lazy and incompetent. Don literally reminded me of the main character in the movie "Suits" Harvey, who was a beast in court, always winning and doing it beautifully. Don, I really want to tell you how much I would love to work with you again, but I hope we can just have coffee/tequila and talk about life without that stressful waiting for court. You and your team demonstrated a high level of professionalism and even saved my Life. I don't have enough words to express how grateful I am to you.

I had the privilege of working with Attorney Don King, a dedicated and highly skilled civilian attorney, who represents servicemembers during challenging legal situations. From the outset, he demonstrated exceptional professionalism, deep knowledge of military law, and a strong due diligence to his ...client. Attorney King took the time to thoroughly understand the facts of the case, explain every step of the legal process, and ensure client is fully prepared for his legal proceedings. What stood out most was his strategic thinking and calm demeanor under pressure. He was meticulous in preparing for hearings and showed genuine care for the outcome and its impact on my military career. Thanks to his advocacy and expertise, the result was far better than the client expected. Military legal matters are complex and often high-stakes. Having someone like Attorney Don King in your corner makes all the difference. I would highly recommend him to any service member in need of legal representation or counsel within the military justice system.

When my case was over, I thought “Thank God I had Mr. King”. PROFESSIONAL EXPERTISE: Although resume speaks for itself, his experience and expertise really shine when you see him in action. a. During the preparation, it seemed like he was always thinking three steps ahead. Also, h...e TENACIOUSLY FOUGHT for the Navy to release certain written materials to me until finally, the day before my board, they gave in. This information, which he insisted on me having access to, became the KEY contributor to me be cleared of the two most serious charges. b. In the courtroom, I felt like I had a pit bull sitting beside me. There were many factual errors in both my investigation package and in what the prosecutor said, and Mr. King did not let them get away with one thing. And if Mr. King felt that the prosecutor was doing something wrong regarding legal procedure, he would pounce on that immediately also. When Mr. King and the prosecutor would then explain their legal points of view to the senior member of the board, Mr. King almost always won. REMEMBERS YOU’RE A PERSON: a. My investigation took a long time, and sometimes months would go by without my hearing anything from the Navy. But Mr. King would call me every few weeks, even if there was no news about my case, just to see how I was doing. That sounds minor, but I was depressed and stressed out, so it meant a lot to know that someone involved in my case remembered I was alive. b. Although my BOI cleared me of the two most important charges, not everything went the way I wanted it to. Mr. King had the expertise to know that there was a good change this could happen; and he had the foresight, compassion, and personal skills to get me mentally prepared me for this ahead of time. GOES THE EXTRA MILE: a. Because of my depression I got behind on things, and a week before my board I gave Mr. King some materials that I should have brought to his attention far before. Understandably, Mr. King was not overjoyed to be getting so much information at the last minute, and I believe that the great majority of attorneys would have said (and quite rightfully) “I’m sorry, but a week before the board is just too late for me to look at all this”. But Mr. King didn’t let me down, and the work Mr. King did with those materials in that week was instrumental in me being cleared of the two most serious charges. b. This extra effort, when he could have just blown me off, was especially noteworthy because I know that this unexpected task had to have become a tremendous inconvenience for him (although he never complained to me about how much of an inconvenience, either then or later). (1) It involved calls to multiple people, and usually multiple calls to each of them. (2) He had the additional burden of doing all of this from the other side of the world; and so he had to take into account time zone changes/protecting his sleep but also the sleep of those he was trying to reach in the United States, etc. (3) He had to work over the weekend. c. I think most other lawyers would have said to themselves: “I’m in Europe, it’s the weekend, and this client could have given me this stuff weeks ago. To ____ with him”. But Mr. King jumped on these materials and took care of me. There is a saying “Integrity is doing the right thing, even when you don’t have to”. That’s Mr. King. OFFICE STAFF: Process paperwork correctly, return promptly; easy to reach; answer calls and emails promptly; polite. Noticeably more professional than staff for other lawyers I talked to. FINAL COMMENT: DO NOT TRUST NCIS. Shockingly incompetent and sloppy. As a result, an accusation that NCIS could have cleared me of when made (and in about an hour) did not get cleared up until 3 years later. Without Mr. King fighting for me, I would have been sunk.
