Kevin then continued to serve in the USMCR achieving the rank of Corporal while attending Drake University (B.A. – 1983). Before graduating from college, Kevin was accepted into the PLC program for prospective Marine Officers, completed the training and was Commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant in May, 1983. After college Kevin attended Drake Law School (J.D. – 1985) and, upon graduation, the Basic School for Marine Officers in Quantico, Virginia and further Judge Advocate (JAG) training at the Naval Justice School in Newport Rhode Island. Kevin was then stationed at Camp Lejeune in October 1986 as a 1st Lieutenant with the Legal Services Support Section (LSSS), one of the Marine Corps busiest trial sections.

"I recently hired Samantha Kelley to replace my previous attorney whom I felt had put myself and my child on the back burner of his priorities. During the consultation with Ms. Kelley I could already tell a huge difference in communication. She actually listened to what I was saying, and it felt like a breath of fresh air after 2yrs of feeling ignored or dismissed. I have a fairly complicated case with a lot of information to unpack and make sense of. I've only been working with her for a few weeks, but I actually feel like something will be accomplished! I look forward to updating my review when things have been resolved. Update: As of June 2022, our case was resolved, and my son has been back home safely with me."

"I hired King Law Firm for a straightforward venue change—no courtroom drama, no surprise plot twists—and they handled it like pros. Everything was smooth, efficient, and surprisingly painless (for legal work, that’s saying something). Every attorney I dealt with seemed sharp and professional. Oddly, two of them vanished like witnesses in a mob trial—left the firm, not the planet—but the case didn’t miss a beat. Outcome and advice was exactly what I needed, so no complaints here."

"I had two lawyers quit on my case. I did not get the service, guidance and attention needed for custody. Would highly dissuade anyone from going to this law firm for family law. They are not specialized in this area of practice."
