“Best Advice For My Situation.”

Called up the office, and spoke with an attorney right away, had an over the phone consultation and provided potentially the best advice for my situation really helping me clear my mind. If you need any advice via military law this is the spot. 👌🏼

KML Response: Thank you, Richard! It’s our mission to help servicemembers like you as fast (and free if we can!) as possible. Glad we were able to be there for you and thanks for the review!

Mr. King Provided the Resources I Needed

Just spoke with Mr. King today, and he gave me the resources I needed to help start my process of fixing things from the past. Thank you, Mr. King.

KML Response: You’re very welcome, Keith! Not everyone needs a lawyer to get their legal issues fixed and we’re most happy when we can save our servicemembers some money! Thanks for leaving us a review and call us if you need us!

“Free Consultation…Relieved My Soul”

If you have any questions about security clearances and the process don’t hesitate to call Don. I was able to get a free consultation from Don that relieved my soul. He explained how my immigration status ties to others’ security clearance process, and what the Department of Defense would want to know about my relationship with the investigated person. He also also advised me on what to do in the worst case scenario since I am likely to be prepared for the worst.

KML Response: Thanks for the review! So glad we could answer your security clearance questions during a free consultation. However, truth be told, we’re not really immigration law experts. We do focus on security clearance matters and are versed in how immigration status will impact security clearances, but if you need an immigration lawyer, we wouldn’t be your best bet. But thanks so much for taking the time!
