I am a Florida Attorney and have had the privilege of litigating with Peter King both as an opposing party and as co-counsel. Peter is one of the finest civil litigators I have encountered in 40 years of practicing law. His preparation is meticulous, and his courtroom presentation is articulate, persuasive, and effective. Peter always protects his client’s best interest by weighing risk, benefit, and the ever-increasing costs and expense of civil litigation.
I have known Peter King and Bill Jones in this business for decades, and have been involved in cases with them. They are tenacious, exceptionally bright, practical, ethical, and have formidable trial and appellate skills. I have also referred friends and family to King & Jones for commercial and estate litigation and they have always gotten outstanding results. With this firm, you get experienced, well-respected lawyers who care about their clients and always do what is necessary to get the best outcome possible.
Peter King’s performance in representing his clients was exemplary throughout, consistently demonstrating expertise in strategy, preparation, and advocacy, as well as legal acumen that one finds only in the most skilled attorneys. While seeking to exact every advantage for his clients, Peter at the same time always conducted himself in his dealings with opposing counsel with professionalism, integrity, and class.
