What recent reviews say

King Law has strong counsel in DaVon Maddox and others who listeners find patient and attentive, particularly in estate planning and family matters. However, recent disputes centre on fees: clients report being billed for extended periods with minimal case progress, and concerns about upfront consultation charges followed by high retainers and partial refunds when cases weaken.
