Mr. King is by far a great attorney! If you’re seeking representation I highly recommend. He has gone over and beyond for me!
Recently I have had the need to retain a defense attorney. I have gotten myself in a bit of a pickle and did some research on some top attorneys in the area and I came across Monroe and King. After our initial consultation meeting I knew I needed them on my side. It was a lengthy case but I can fully recommend Scott Monroe and Alex King! These attorneys are the best at what they do! They are professional, caring, articulate and well versed in the law knowing exactly what move to make and when to make it on a case. They got me the best possible outcome I could've received. I didn't even know they could do what they did at least in my case... Just amazing !!! They were in touch and guiding me throughout the entire process giving me peace of mind and hope. Communicative and responsive as well keeping me apprised . I highly recommend Monroe and King P.A., 5 stars is not enough. Whether it's a misdemeanor or whatever pickle you may be in they are on your side to get you the best results, attorneys who actually care!!!
Mr. King and the First Coast Criminal Defense team are AMAZING!! Effective communication is key to building trust with clients and they did that from start to finish! They clearly explained my legal options, kept me informed throughout the process and acted as a strong negotiator when dealing with the prosecution. Their team is top notch, knowledgeable and efficient. I highly recommend Mr. King to anyone who needs legal representation. You will not be disappointed.
Absolutely recommend this law firm! Our lawyer, Alex King, was truly impressive. We called on a Monday, early evening, he answered the phone. We explained our situation and he went to work for us right away. We had yet to sign the contract and he was already making phone calls that Tuesday morning. The entire office is caring and compassionate, and above all, patient with their clients. No matter how many times I called with questions about the case, they always got back to me right away. I truly pray we never have to hire a criminal defense attorney ever again, but if we do…it will definitely be Alex King and his firm!
I can’t say enough good things about Alex King and Whitney! From start to finish, their professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for my case exceeded all expectations. Mr. King is an outstanding lawyer who took the time to explain every detail, ensuring I understood my options at every stage. His confidence and skill in handling legal matters gave me total peace of mind. Whitney, the paralegal, was an absolute rockstar. She was always on top of the paperwork, deadlines, and keeping me updated, which made the entire process seamless. Her warmth and attention to detail made me feel like I wasn’t just a client but someone they truly cared about. Together, Alex and Whitney make an incredible team. I couldn't be happier with the end result, and I am grateful for their help. They are responsive, approachable, and relentlessly dedicated to achieving the best outcome. If you’re looking for legal representation that combines expertise with compassion, look no further. Highly recommended!
