I highly recommend! Mr. Sam took my case, ran with it and got the judge to rule in my favor! He’s very knowledgeable!
Mr. King was very prompt in responding, professional, and kind when I had urgent questions about my situation. He spoke to me without judgement, was patient, and I could tell - really, really cares about people. I gained much more clarity just by talking with him for a short time. Thank you Mr. King.
My mother suffered a fractured jaw and bruised ribs from a fall at a commercial parking lot in Kailua. It was obvious the property management firm was negligent due to no lighting and obstructions leading to the overflow parking lot. You never want to settle directly with the insurance adjuster unless you have representation from an attorney. After consulting with dozens of attorneys who claimed they specialized in personal injury claims 99% refused to take the case citing: age of mom, Medicare issues and/or trouble prosecuting premise injuries. I finally came across with Sam King. Wow immediately I knew I found the right attorney. Most lawyers did not even want to spend much time on the phone discussing the issue but Mr. King invited us to his office and I could immediately know he was knowledgeable and very experienced in handling such cases. He knew how to work the system and who to talk with to get a good settlement. Other attorneys were simply clueless on many of these matters. I also liked that Mr. King never charged a penny upfront and I was free to consult with him regarding matters to this case. Very friendly and honest he could discuss the possible issues to expect. What my mom and I REALLY cherished from Mr. King was his ability to really listen. All these other attorneys talk and interrupt you constantly. Many times victims are formulating their thoughts and instead of assisting your thought process other attorneys cut you off. But not Mr. King. At the end we got a really big settlement w/o even having to go to trial. I would overwhelmingly recommend Mr. King to anyone who has experienced a personal injury. Sincerely, Richard and Nina Nov 2017
I am truly ruined when it comes to Lawyers. Sam King has set the bar extremely high for my expectations with Lawyers and I know this because of his professionalism and expertise during my divorce. I am active duty stationed here in Oahu and was in need of a good attorney that wouldn't gut my bank account in the process. He gave me a free consultation after which he quoted me a flat rate price for services depending on my situation for my divorce. Which means that I could call him up, send him an email with more questions or concerns and he doesn't charge me by the hour or by the email; this alone is worth its weight in gold for active duty on a budget. As we went into the "negotiations" with my ex and her Lawyer he explained clearly my chances of winning custody of my son if we were to go to trial. Which was great because I didn't want a Lawyer that just told me what I wanted to hear; he told me the real brutal truth even if its not what I wanted to hear. As active duty I didn't have a lot of faith in my situation but with Sam as my Lawyer handling my divorce he helped me get split 50/50 physical and legal custody of my son. As a father dedicated to my son this was huge because there isn't a lot of information out there for active duty males and my son is my world. In a nut shell Sam King did exactly what he said he was going to do, there was no hidden agenda or surprises, he was honest and straight forward and if you hire Sam as your Lawyer you will not be disappointed in your decision of hiring a Lawyer. I am ruined because I know that he is a rare thing, a solid Lawyer you can trust and you will never find another one like him.
Sam helped some friends and I get out of a jam. We got tickets for being in an area we were not supposed to be in, unbeknownst to us and were mandated to show up in court. First, he was relaxed, which immediately helped us to feel reassured and calm. Second, he had a case file, plan, and defense/explanation already outlined as well as a description defending our character. By doing that, he already worked with the opposing lawyer and the judge and the case was essentially over before it started without our having to lift a finger, say a word, or spend any time on the case other than just showing up as mandated. It could not have gone better. If you are ever in need, I highly recommend Sam and believe you will be the best of hands.
Sam from the beginning was very kind and patient, he made me really comfortable in explaining the whole process and it was easy to trust him because of his experience and knowledge. I would definitely recommend Sam to everyone I know. Thank you Sam!
Mr. King was extremely helpful in my time of need. A few years ago I had gotten a DUI and I was referred to Mr. King by a close friend of mine. Throughout the process, he kept me apprised to what was going on with my case and was always there to answer any questions I had. He walked me through the process, step by step, and was by my side for every court appearance. I do not know how I could have gotten through it without his help and support.
Mr. King helped me during a particularly stressful time last year. He was prompt in responding to my phone calls, willing to listen and seemed to really care about the details of how I felt about my case. I really appreciate his professionalism and compassion.
If you are looking for a lawyer who is honest and fair I would choose Sam King with King and King! Sam helped me with my very complicated custody and jurisdictional case between Hawaii and San Diego. Sam is a genuine person who cares about his clients and does the right thing. Every question I had, Sam was spot on, with 40 some years of experience you are getting the best with Sam! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a quality attorney.
Sam has been representing my family and I for many years. He successfully represented my wife with her divorce, with child support issues as well as representing me in court for misdemeanor fines. He is very professional, personable and he truly cares about his clients. I have worked with other attorneys before and always felt rushed or not a priority. Sam and his staff make you feel like family. I highly recommend Sam King.
