Don C. King

Don and King Military Law are simply THE source for professional legal advice for military members. He made himself immediately available to answer questions of a personal/professional nature, and I walked away knowing I received fair and balanced advice that could be trusted. His approach is compa...ssionate and professional, and I felt like he truly had my interest in mind. Don knows the fine details of military law, military-speak, and the devastation a civil proceeding can have on a military career. He took the time to hear me out and provided multiple points of views that only 30+ years of specialized litigation can accomplish. If you are reading this, likely something is occurring in your life that needs a true professional. This is not the time to go it alone! Don and King Military Law are there to help chart a course through some tricky water, and I can’t imagine a better advocate to help navigate.

Someone in my command lied and accused me of sexual assault and the base lawyers didn't seem to experieinced. I called around for civilian lawyers to help but they wanted a lot of money and didn't even seem to want to speak to me without me payng them. Then a fellow Staff NCO told me about Mr. King. ...Mr. King was the judge on a case where that Gunny was the bailif and he said he would be his first call. So I found Mr. King's website and called him and he talked to me for over an hour on the phone even though i had not even paid him a dime. He knew exactly what was going on, exactly what was going to happen and told me exactly what to do, every step of the way. I can't tell you how scary it was to be falsely accused of a crime that has a life sentence and have no one to go to for help. Once I got off the phone with Mr. King, alot of that fear went away. I knew I was in good hands. And sure enough, most of what he told me they would do HAPPENED! CID tried to trick me and i would have been in jail if I had not spoken with Mr. King. Mr. King also charged me way less than what others were saying and I hired him immediately. He TORE into my case like I was his own son. I would not want to be against this man! But he also helped me with my command, even calling them and getting them to support me! In the end, although I was facing prison and being a registered sex offender (which means no time aroung my kids), i actually wasn't even charged with a crime. I know that was because of Mr. King, who did his own investigation of the case and found stuff that NCIS ignored. I owe my life to this former grunt! If I or a loved one ever needs a lawyer, we'll call Mr. King. He's been around this block many many times and knows everything AND he cares, not just about me, but my family as well. He helped them understand what was happening and that meant alot to us. Nice to see a guy not in it just for the money... I would give him 10 stars if I could. he deserves it.

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
