David Allan King

I provide legal services outside the courtroom for things like contracts, filings, legal documents, negotiations, and legal advice. For example, I can assist with business contracts, divorce filings, trademark applications, and trust documents, among other things.

While I often resolve legal disputes outside the courtroom, I do not provide legal services for adversarial litigation.

Q. Are their any pro-bono attorneys in carteret county or craven county NC

17 January 2021

A: I'm sure there are, but attorneys do not ordinarily do pro bono work for family law issues. Those that cannot afford an attorney are usually left to the machinations of DIY and self-service options. It might be easier to point you in the right direction with more information.

Q. I need assistance with a divorce, but can not afford it, Iam 65 Years old,not working and I am receiving Pension

16 January 2021

A: Attorneys do not generally provide pro bono services for divorces. However, there are many DIY self-service type options. For example, I charge $10 on Fiverr to prepare all of the divorce filing paperwork. It prepares the documents in an automated fashion without custom legal advice and you still have to follow the instructions, do the work, and be your own legal advisor, but that's the drawback of not being able to afford an attorney to provide more assistance.

Q. I am 15 earning over $85k/year post tax. Can I move out at 17 with parental consent?

28 October 2020

A: I may have a different perspective as more of a business attorney. I imagine it being difficult to run a business of that size when you don't have the right to sign binding business contracts as a minor; rights that are granted upon emancipation. In fact, quite a few difficulties come to mind: forming an LLC, finding anyone willing to lease an apartment to a minor knowing the minor isn't necessarily bound by the lease agreement, and so on. It also sounds like you would have strong arguments for emancipation, once you turn 16. You can find North Carolina's emancipation statutes for reference at: https://www.ncleg.gov/EnactedLegislation/Statutes/HTML/ByArticle/Chapter_7B/Article_35.html In any case, if you moved out against your parents' wishes, they may call the police and have you returned to them. If your parents are ok with it (they would probably have to co-sign your lease anyway), then it just depends on if anyone bothers you.
