Rigid and not helpful

Very impersonal. Rigid process. Can not recommend. A complete waste of my time.

Knowledgeable Litigation and Debt Collection Attorney

I consulted with Attorney King on a debt collection issue. Paul talked to me about my case and gave me insight on how the courts work. Paul is very knowledgeable about collections law and the legal system in general. He is an excellent attorney to have on your side and I highly recommend him.

Trustworthy, Patient, Knowledgeable

I have had the pleasure of working with Paul a number of times. He has procured results meeting or beyond my expectations in every case... generally falling in the latter category. If I were to use three words to describe Paul, they would be Trustworthy, Patient and Knowledgeable. -He's an hone...st man that will look you in the eyes, give you a firm handshake, and deliver on his promise. -In the past, there were several instances where I didn't know just exactly what I wanted or didn't have all of the information at hand, and Paul was patient with me during the entire process and followed up to ensure nothing was missed. - Paul has an large knowledge base, and if he doesn't know the answer off hand, he is able to find an answer quickly and accurately. I would recommend absolutely recommend Paul to a friend or family member and intend to use him again in the future. Thanks Paul!

Disorderly Conduct

While attending an MLB game I ran into some problems in the parking lot after the game, and I was given a ticket for Disorderly Conduct. I called Attorney King the following week. We met before the court date to discuss details. I feel he kept me very informed of my options, and what could be ...done in my situation. The next time I saw Attorney King was the day of my court hearing. He was very calm, and helpful throughout the process in the court house. He was able to get a meeting with a City Attorney that day and the whole process took about 30 minutes from there. He successfully had the charge expunged and and I payed minimal court fees.
