LET MY FAMILY FIGHT FOR YOUR FAMILY
WHO WE ARE
THE LEGACY & FOUNDATION
The Story of (Fmr.) Judge C. Hunter King The foundation of The King Law Firm was not laid in a boardroom, but on the rooftops of New Orleans and within the halls of the St. Bernard Housing Development. A native New Orleanian, (Fmr.) Judge C. Hunter King defines himself as a “first-generation lawyer and a third-generation roofer,” a title that reflects the grit and discipline required to fund his legal education by working alongside his father. This journey from manual labor to the Civil District Court bench—where he was elected by the people in 1999—shaped a legal philosophy rooted in the belief that the American Dream is achievable through relentless hard work and an unwavering commitment to justice.
A Legacy Entrusted to the Next Generation Today, that foundation of integrity and tradition serves as the heartbeat of our firm. Judge King has transitioned from the bench to a role as a mentor and advocate, intentionally passing the torch to his sons, CJ King, Esq. and Christopher H. King, Esq.. As Partners, they do not just carry the King name; they carry the values and principles established by generations before them. Both are trial-tested attorneys who have served as prosecutors and public defenders, ensuring that the firm's standard of excellence remains constant in every case we handle.

We understand that your legal matter is often the most critical chapter of your family’s story.

FAMILY LAW
LAWYER UP!
Family law in Louisiana encompasses the most sensitive chapters of a family’s story, from complex custody disputes to the protection of the vulnerable.

Securing the "American Dream" for the next generation starts with a clear legal plan. Our firm helps you draft precise legal documents that protect your assets and ensure your wishes are honored for your children’s future.
CRIMINAL LAW
LAWYER UP!
Criminal law in Louisiana involves defending individuals accused of violating state or local laws, from misdemeanors like traffic offenses and simple battery to serious felonies such as drug crimes or violent offenses. As an attorney, the focus is on protecting a client’s constitutional rights at every stage — from arrest and investigation to court proceedings and, if necessary, trial. Because Louisiana follows a civil law system influenced by the Louisiana Code rather than only common law states, criminal cases require careful analysis of statutes, procedure, and evidence. The goal is always to ensure fair treatment under the law, challenge unlawful actions by the state, and work toward the best possible outcome for the client.
