King establishes Hawesville law practice

Attorney Elizabeth King has opened a practice in Hawesville, with offices located at 240 Main Street. King will offer general law services and has vast experience in criminal and family law. She can be contacted at 270-695-9202.

While Attorney Elizabeth King has been meeting with clients at her 240 Main Street offices on a limited basis, she expects to be fully open within a couple of weeks.

“I have had several cases throughout the years in Hawesville, and have always enjoyed working in the community,” she said. “There are very friendly professional in the justice system, and we have strong connections in the county.”

King is married to Todd King, and is the daughter-in-law of Hawesville Mayor Charlie King.
King received her undergraduate degree in middle grades education at Western Kentucky University, and received her juris doctor at the Salmon P. Chase College of Law at Northern Kentucky University.

While her practice in Hawesville is considered general law services, King said she will primarily handle family law and criminal law, with some probate work.
She has previously been based in Daviess County, and worked as a public defender in Owensboro for seven years. Upon entering private practice she broadened into family law.

“I approach everyone I meet like I would treat a friend or family member,” King said. “When you are seeking an attorney, you need someone who sees you as more than a case. I have gone through a divorce, so I understand those cases from the perspective of the client.”

King said many people she meets in her practice have never been inside a justice center until they find themselves involved in a family law case.
“I listen to my clients, and attempt to remember and understand being in court can be a stressful thing,” she said. “I understand it can be intimidating to be on a witness stand, answering questions about personal experiences. My experiences as a parent have also helped me be more understanding in cases involving children.”

King offers consultations to potential clients at no charge.
Her office can be reached by calling 270-695-9202.

    I have tried unsuccessfully to reach Atty King, as I want her services to write a simple will. There is no ability to leave a message and no one ever answers. Is this person still doing business as an attorney in Hawesville?
