Joe King and Dianna Della-Calce were awesome to work with after my motorcycle accident. They were in regular communications with me during the entire process and took a significant burden off my shoulders. I would highly recommend Joe King to anyone looking for a personal injury attorney.

Mr. King came highly recommended to me thru a friend. He and his staff were very professional and attentive in the care of my case, while maintaining open communication with me. I spoke with either him or his staff on a regular basis during the entire process. There are no words to express my gratitude for all the kindness and care, Mr.King and his staff took with my case. This settlement will be a life changing event for my husband and me.
