    The #1 defense attorney in Lubbock
    There aren’t enough stars in the world to be able to leave for Mr. King and his legal team at King Law. The way he was able to bring my brother home as the state was trying to incorrectly and unjustly use rap lyrics to convict him was extraordinary. There’s not a day that passes that I don’t include Mr. King in my prayers. Thank you, Michael, for everything you’ve done for our family on multiple occasions. The #1 defense attorney in Lubbock, I stamp that 🫡

    Justice Was Served
    I can't thank Kings Law Firm enough for the incredible work they did on my case. From day one, they treated me with respect, believed in me, and fought tirelessly to prove my innocence. Their professionalism, dedication, and deep understanding of the law made all the difference. They kept me informed every step of the way and never gave up, even when things felt overwhelming. Thanks to their hard work, justice was served. I’m forever grateful and highly recommend them to anyone in need of a powerful legal team that truly cares!
    Brian Chase
    He got my case rejected!
    I had a great experience with Mr. King. From our first meeting, he was personable, kind, and professional. He put his magic to work and got my case rejected! Mr. King was always available to pick up the phone with any questions; he was knowledgeable about the way of the law and seemed to know everyone. I have complete confidence that if you choose King Law to take on your case, he will work as hard as possible for you to get the best result possible.
    Andrew Metz

    You're in good hands with Kayla Staley
    I had Kayla Staley as my lawyer. She was amazing to work with from the beginning, getting back to me in a timely manner and handling business. She got me a pre-trial diversion with 1-year probation, told me in 6 months I could cut it short if all goes well on my end. Six months later, I contacted her, and she didn’t hesitate to keep her word and not charge me to file the motion to dismiss the rest of my probation. She did an amazing job representing me, and I would recommend her to anyone who needs it. You’re in good hands with Kayla Staley.

    Blessed to Know Michael and His Team
    Michael King is one of the most caring and understanding human beings I have ever met. He was always in my corner and worked long and hard to clear up charges that nearly destroyed my life. He worked fast when I needed him and was reassuring and communicated clearly when things were moving slow. He never shied away from telling hard truths but was always compassionate and considerate. He genuinely empathized with me and my support system. He often worked around my work schedule for our phone meetings and updates. I'm so eternally grateful to have found Michael. His office manager, Hope, was a beacon of light in our lives when everything else seemed bleak. She was consistent and timely with her responses, and she was always incredibly courteous and understanding. His associate, Kayla Staley, was also incredible. She brought an air of professional levity to a pretty bleak situation and helped represent us once for a small hearing when Michael was on vacation. When it seemed like we’d been forgotten about on the docket, she stood up for us so we could be seen that day, rather than having to come back later. When I first reached out to Michael, I was scared and desperate. Two other attorneys had dismissed me and didn't want to touch our case. Michael took the time to really listen to our needs and after eight long months, the case resolved in a dismissal. He is a truly gifted tactician, attorney, and negotiator, and we are blessed to know him and his team. My family and I can never thank you all enough. This team of amazing professionals is always going to have my vote!

    He got my DUI case dismissed.
    He got my DUI case dismissed even after I got myself kicked off of pre-trial diversion. I still don’t know how he managed to do it, but I’m so thankful for his help. I was going through a very dark time in my life, but he really seemed to want the best for me and would check in just to ask about my mental health and sobriety every now and then. He gave me a couple of harsh lectures when I kept making things worse for myself and my case (and probably making his job much more difficult in the process), but it was all things that I definitely needed to hear, and he never gave up on me. I highly recommend King Law and I’m so thankful I can finally start living my life again thanks to Michael King’s help.

    The GOAT of Lawyers
    Mr. King was both courteous and professional. He was hired on behalf of a family member who had been charged with a federal offence, resulting in a dismissal. He was also hired on behalf of a family member who was charged with murder, resulting in being found innocent by a jury of his peers. Mr. King worked diligently in both cases and kept in communication. I would highly recommend him for any criminal case. He is definitely the GOAT of lawyers for me.
    Ann Schooler
    Michael King Cares About Clients
    Long past due review: Michael King is a charismatic attorney who cares about his clients and their best interests. I'll admit that I wasn't the ideal client, and there were definitely times where my anxiety about my case got the best of me, and I wasn't always the most pleasant gal to deal with during that time. But Michael King really did a fantastic job with my case, and I would highly recommend hiring him to represent you or anyone you care about.
    Alexandra 777
    Kayla Staley was awesome.
    Kayla Staley was awesome. She worked hard to get my case dismissed and succeeded in doing so. She listened carefully to me and was very compassionate with my situation, something that is lacking in this world nowadays. Kayla was great.

    Thank you for dismissing my case
    Thank you so much, Kayla, for all your wonderful help. You were very, very awesome and on point. You were quick and ready to defend me with your all. I highly recommend you to anyone who's ever in trouble. I will be referring you to all kinds of people that I know that need your help without you. I wouldn't be a free person, and I wouldn't be able to get my life back. I now have my life back. I'm able to start fresh and start Uber and just let everything behind me go. Thank you for dismissing my case. There's no one like you that I would ever trust to handle any of my life situations as far as court. Thank you so much.

    They Transformed My Life
    Michael King’s criminal defense office did not just help me take care of a legal matter - they transformed my life. From day 1, Michael King & assistant Hope walked me through what I needed to do every part of the process - responded quickly whenever I had questions - & worked so hard to get me the best possible outcome. I trusted Michael & Hope through the entire process. Even though it took some really hard work between me, Michael & Hope - we were able to get things taken care of together. Michael is truly one of a kind. He cares deeply & believes in people regardless of their shortcomings. He is the best criminal defense attorney in West Texas.

    Overall great experience!
    They represented my case with minimal effort on my part. I just told them everything I knew, gave them everything I had on it, and they took care of it. They made me feel a lot less stressed about a bad situation. Overall great experience!

    Highly Recommended
    Highly recommended… Two cases, one in 2015 and one in '23, both dismissed. Never had to appear in court, never had to do much at all. King Law handled absolutely everything. All the reviews are true. Hope, Alex, and Michael King are awesome. Not sure if Mr. King is a godsend, well-connected, or well-educated. No doubt he's well-educated, but he’ll get you the best possible result while being the friendliest person you could cross. I can only hope Michael will continue to take my cases as time goes on. Never got my bazooka back, or my machine guns.

    Cases Rejected by Attorney
    Kayla Staley was my attorney, and she was able to get my two criminal cases rejected. I can honestly say the time she took to answer all my questions and made the process as easy as possible has been a blessing to have had her as my attorney. Thank you, Kayla and the King Law firm family for helping me along this huge bump in the road. Definitely recommend 10/10!
    Adrianna Barboza

    Get in contact with Mr. King!
    I hired Michael King. The moment I met and had a conversation with him about my case, he was very honest. He didn’t make any promises because he didn’t know himself what would happen, but then his actions and the way he represented me made me very content and happy with the decision of hiring him! Communication was wonderful. I walked away with an amazing deal, and I can’t thank him and his staff enough for fighting and representing me. If anybody is looking for an attorney, get in contact with Mr. King! He’s wonderful. Once again, I’m very thankful and grateful.
