Don C. King

Don and his team are amazing. I am an active duty doctor who was charged following an allegation of failing a military random urine drug screen. I hired Don to represent me at both NJP and a Board of Inquiry. He is an absolute expert at all level of military law. My case was complex as it also includ...ed hospital privileges and how that overlapped with UCMJ violations. In the end, Don help me win at the BOI and all allegations were dismissed and I was retained in the military. The team here is very detailed orientated and very responsive, he was always willing to connect by phone for questions. Don's has so much knowledge about various commands and military communities, that he is capable of adjusting his writing style and legal approach to what he thinks would resonate best in that situation. During the BOI he was amazing; he was in total control of the whole situation. His experience in these situations is so apparent as he handles the government lawyers with ease. I worked a lot with his paralegal, Holly. She is an excellent writter and she has a calm sense about her that left me always feeling better. She has a huge amount of military legal experience and is an expert in military process. She was always able to explain to me what a situation would look like (how will NJP go, what should I expect, etc.). She was very organized, a great legal writer and all around kind person. If I ever have military legal problems in the future, I am calling Don and hiring him again without a doubt.

I would absolutely recommend Mr. Kings representation to anyone being accused of a crime in the Military. His experience is second to none and his knowledge of the military legal process is very impressive. Personally, my command was not on my side through any steps of the process but KML had my back... every second and created an incredible defense package for me that impressed my command because of how detailed it was. He was able to uncover information that the command never even knew existed. The professionalism at KML is incredible and I will absolutely hire this legal team again to help me in the future.

As a senior enlisted service member (E-7) with over 18 years of naval service, I recently faced one of the most difficult and stressful periods of my career, an administrative discharge proceeding due to disciplinary action. Having never been in any kind of legal trouble before, the pressure and unce...rtainty were overwhelming. From the very first conversation, Don C. King and his partner Angela demonstrated not only exceptional legal expertise, but genuine care and commitment. Mr. King did far more than simply represent me, he stood beside me. He took the time to understand my career, my character, and what was truly at stake for me and my family. His performance during my administrative separation board was nothing short of outstanding. He was prepared, strategic, confident, and relentless in advocating on my behalf. Watching him work was reassuring in a moment when everything felt uncertain. He carried burdens that I didn’t even realize I was carrying and allowed me to focus on staying composed and present. What impressed me most was that his support extended beyond the professional. He understood the emotional toll this process takes and made sure I never felt alone in it. If you are facing any type of legal issue especially one that threatens your career, reputation, or future, I can say without hesitation that you want Don C. King in your corner. He is hands-down one of the best in the business. I am deeply grateful for his representation and would highly recommend him to anyone in need of strong, dedicated legal counsel.

Don King and his team expressed great interest in my case, were particularly sensitive to the emotional baggage I had around the case, and maintained a realistic attitude at every step, as well as being proactive in communication with me, and with all other legal parties involved. Don's advice for ho...w to speak, write, and generally present myself was backed by his experience and he communicated well. The experience of working with his team was smooth. I truly felt able to trust them all with sensitive personal information and critical case information. God forbid I ever find myself in a remotely similar situation, King Military Law will be my first call.

If you’re reading these reviews and still wondering, “Do I really need an attorney?” the answer is a resounding YES! I questioned whether I needed one, and now I know I should have retained legal counsel from day one of the investigation. It doesn’t matter what the issue is—never talk to anyone wi...thout first seeking legal guidance. In today’s military environment, trust is not enough. Protect yourself. Don King and his team stood by me from my very first consultation through to my favorable retirement. Their expertise, professionalism, and unwavering support made all the difference. My only regret is not calling Don sooner. If you find yourself facing any investigation, don’t say a word until you’ve called King Military Law. Say: “I want a lawyer.”
