Dishonest, unethical, incompetent, and uncommunicative. Zero stars.
Highly recommend against hiring King Law Firm for any reason. I was hit by a car while riding my bike in January of 2020 and hired King Law to pursue settlement for property damage and personal injury. Simple case with witness and police report showing the other party clearly at fault.
Initial consultation was positive and Rachel assured me I had a very straightforward and simple case.
Sadly, that would be the last of my positive experiences with King Law... once I signed with her to handle my case, communications immediately became an issue; calls and emails regularly went unreturned for weeks, always being told that Rachel wasn't available but that she'd call me back... a call that would never come but repeated attempts would eventually prompt a reply to the email or a short and insufficient text response. This wildly unprofessional communication carried on throughout my case, to also include two people who were running my case leaving the law firm with me never being informed until I called and learned that they'd left and was handed off to someone else.
King Law was constantly caught off guard by the other party's attorney and we were on the defensive throughout my case despite me having been the victim in what should have been a 'straightforward and simple' case.
During mediation I learned that King Law had accepted a check from Progressive insurance and neither informed me nor disbursed any of those funds to me. Having never been through this process I tried to give the benefit of the doubt to Ms King and hope it would all work out in the end but but my faith was ultimately rewarded by Ms King coercing me to agree to a settlement offer in mediation that I was highly dissatisfied with. In obtaining my agreement, Ms King agreed to reduce her fees and handle reimbursements associated with the case from her fee. But when the check finally arrived from Progressive, Ms King sent me a draft disbursement agreement that included NONE of what she promised in obtaining my agreement to settle. The line item for her fees was more than what she'd promised, and several costs to be reimbursed which she'd promised to handle from her fees were listed as line item deductions from the final payment to me, reducing my settlement by roughly 25%. When attempting to discuss this with Ms King, she became enraged upon my saying that I had text documentation of the promises she made in obtaining my agreement and hung up on me. Text communications thereafter, including screenshots reminding her of her promises were sent and ignored. Ultimately, rather than honor her promises or attempt to meet any sort of equitable agreement in light of her promises, she chose to send me a threatening letter indicating that if I didn't accept the new breakdown of funds she would be handing "the entirety of funds to the Court to distribute" and in doing so, she would be asking the court to award her "additional attorney's fees and costs from my settlement." I could not under any circumstances recommend her to anyone for any reason.
TL,DR version... what should have been a simple case dragged on for two years and I was ultimately coerced into a settlement I was dissatisfied with based upon promises from Ms King to reduce her fees and handle reimbursements from her fees, only for her to refuse to honor that agreement and present me with a disbursement agreement paying me appx 25% less than the settlement I agreed to. When confronted with the discrepancy, Ms King became combative and even in the face of text messages documenting her promises, chose to send me a threatening letter to accept the disbursement she was now offering or she would send the funds to court and ask for even more of the settlement she was already stealing from me. Absolute trash as an attorney and as a person, do not hire. If anyone is still considering hiring her and would like specific details or documentation, feel free to message me and I would be happy to provide documentation for the facts above and help you avoid making the same mistake I did in hiring this atrocious firm. read more
