I thought my life was over when I was accused of a horrible crime at a general court-martial. From the moment I met Jeff, he instilled confidence in my case and showed a real enthusiasm for what he does. Be warned: Jeff will put you to work! He prepares for battle and expects you to contribute. He is confident in court and I enjoyed watching the jury respond to him. In the end, I was found NOT GUILTY to all charges! I am so grateful that I hired Jeff to defend me.

Mr. King is a defense attorney that brings nothing but hard work and dedication to your doorstep. His vast experience and overall professionalism are truly unmatched. From day one of the allegations against me, Jeff was honest and kept my hopes/morale high. He saved my career and possibly salvaged relationships I thought were over. I owe Jeff a lot and will always think of him as a friend. He made it possible for me to use my experience as a life lesson. Our motto was: take it one day at a time and handle it as it comes. Now that my opinion of Jeff is out of the way, I will tell you what he brings to the court room. Jeff is extremely aggressive in a professional manner. I can't express how sharp he is when questioning testimonies or putting the prosecution in their place. He constantly searches for holes and inconsistencies. I was amazed with some of the evidence he brought to my attention that I never thought of. If you choose Jeff, he will tell you it is not your job to prove your innocence, it is the prosecutors job to prove your guilt. Listen to him, remain calm and most importantly remain silent! If you are suspected of a crime, get legal representation immediately. The truth is, we live in a messed up world and people do messed up things, regardless if it is the truth or a bag of lies. The only thing that matters is what you have in your corner to protect you. Jeff will fight to the end regardless the outcome. He will be honest and prepare you for everything.

As the father of a recent active duty Air Force client of Mr. King’s, and being intimately involved day to day with the case, I can say without hesitation nor mental reservation, Jeff King is a consummate professional. Jeff was not only prepared, aggressive, and passionate about the defense, he also made the time to explain in detail every facet of the trial as it progressed. Having an attorney of Jeff's caliber in our corner bestowed a feeling of confidence to our family, which was a critical factor in our ability to manage the stressfulness inherent to such serious allegations. Jeff prepared the entire family for every scenario, good and bad, and for that we are forever grateful. Upon receipt of the not guilty verdict and celebrating the obvious joy we felt that this "created adventure" had now come to an end, also came the realization that not only had he won this case, and with it our son’s continued freedom and innocence, but we had made a friend of the highest regard. Our family cannot thank Mr. King enough for his excellent representation on behalf of our son, but also for the lofty amount of integrity and humility demonstrated during the most trying time of our lives. Much respect and Semper Fi.

Jeff was amazing! He handled my case through the end of the Article 32 hearing, and set the basis for my acquittal. If it had been any other IO than the one it was, I am certain it would have been dismissed right then, as all the objections he made in the Article 32 were later upheld by the Military Judge, and they been upheld at the Article 32 hearing, it would have been dismissed on the spot. His knowledge, and preparation made all the difference in my case, and his relentless pursuit of the truth showed through. He will always be my first recommendation to anyone who needs legal help.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my extreme gratitude and appreciation to Jeff King for all his hard work, relentless effort, and persistence in pursuing a positive outcome in my legal battle. It was one of the hardest and most emotional situations I have ever experienced in my life. I felt throughout the legal process, Jeff went over and beyond the call of duty to resolve the matter as quickly as possible. Mr. King’s confidence and assurance helped tremendously in coping with the process of my case. He was always truthful and forthright. I was always kept informed, educated, and guided through the process. Jeff’s patience and professionalism were impressive; however, his sincere caring and concern sets him above his peers. I severed on Active Duty for nearly 20 years and Jeff is truly the right person for the job, in both military and/or civilian legal cases. Although, I hope no one ever has to go through what I went through, I highly recommend Jeff King.

Outstanding lawyer. He went above and beyond to keep me informed and up to date at all times. From the Article 32 hearing through the motions, he was there every step of the way. His hard work and experience really showed and paid off at the motions hearing and due to that, my case went from being a General Court Martial to just and NJP on one charge.
- Corporal R.S.
With the type circumstance I had, it was not a hard case nor one that required a court visit or in front of a Judge but it did take some research and many hours of information gathering. I was given to the point, fair and accurate information by Jeffery King and he stuck with me through the whole ordeal. This was not only vital but very personable and I appreciated that to the fullest. I felt comfortable and positive through the entire situation and was given a fair and positive outcome. I thank Jeff King and his other staff that were involved for all they did.
- Steven, a Government contractor
I found Jeff to be a competent and compassionate advocate. As a client, he was the "voice" that I needed him to be to achieve a good result. He allowed me to communicate my needs to him and then diligently went to work to attain them. I would recommend him without hesitation.
