Hired Law Firm

Mr. King helped me with my husband’s estate. He explained each step I needed to take, and gave me a list of those steps. He understood how overwhelmed I was with the process and patiently put my mind at ease. I look forward to working with him in the future.

I had the opportunity to use Mr. King in the handling of my mother's estate this past year. I was extremely satisfied with Mr. King and his staff. He seemed extremely knowledgeable about the probate process and handled her estate quickly and efficiently. He was always accessible and responsive, and kept us informed with what was going on all along the way. Should I need other legal representation in the future, I would certainly use Mr. King, as I feel I can trust him to do a good job and to represent me well.

Knowledge is power and that is what John and his staff have! He has done a wonderful job for me over many years. One of the best attorney's in Eastern N.C. I highly recommend him, he has great office support and they are all professional. He has saved me lots of money throughout the years and I appreciate his work and advise. He will guide you in the right direction.

Hired Attorney John King Jr.

John King did our house closing in an incredibly short amount of time. We didn't even think that it would be possible but it didn't seem to faze them one bit. We worked closely with his assistant Yvonne the day before and she really took her time going over the paperwork with us. If I had to ask her the same question again, she was patient. Buying a house is a big deal for people and you're not a lawyer, so it's important to feel confident and knowledgeable when you go into the actual closing. We had everything we needed at the closing and then some. We have bought and sold 12 houses and never have we felt as assured as we did at a closing. We plan on switching all of our legal matters over to John King as soon as possible.

My Exsperience was with Ann Turner She is representing the opposite side of an estate transaction and I called to discuss a bill we submitted .I called and left messages with her for 2 weeks and she never returned my call.I then I call until I called and complained and then magically she answered and answered with an attitude. She said and I quote what do you want ? She then blocked my number from being able to call back? Really handled like a pro lol

Hired Attorney John King Jr.

My experience was very poor. He did nothing to help us after we paid his fee. He claims that he attempted to do something but it would not have helped anyway. He refused to give us a refund. In my opinion, he is greedy and could care less about any client. He also did not listen to our case and left out a key fact. What a waste of money. He did not even want to see us but only communicate by text or phone. Not very professional if in my opinion just greedy and selfish.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
