WHY HIRE HAMPTON & KING?

Over the course of two decades of representation, Hampton & King has established itself as one of the most effective medical malpractice firms in the state. Attorney Hartley Hampton has represented families seeking restitution through malpractice litigation for more than 40 years, and he has handled some of the most formidably challenging cases in Texas and New Mexico. The firm’s track record of victories for those injured by medical professional incompetence and negligence speaks for itself.

Attorney Hampton had been practicing law for more than two decades when, in 2003, the Texas Legislature passed the most dramatic and constricting legal ‘reform’ package of this century, permanently altering the landscape of medical malpractice law. The package measures heavily favor medical professionals and the businesses they represent, making it more difficult than ever for victims of medical malpractice to receive the compensation due to them for pain and injuries suffered.

Client Testimonials

“Everyone we spoke to at Hampton & King within this legal process was very empathetic, thorough, and punctual with all the updates and details we needed. I could never truly express my gratitude for the emotional aide and support everyone we worked with at Hampton and King gave us, especially Chris. Furthermore, as for myself, I am so thankful for the confidence I was given.”

“Hampton & King conducted themselves in a very professional manner throughout my dealings with them. Mr. Hampton did an excellent job with my case, and helped me receive the most fair settlement possible, so that I could avoid having to go through the long process of a lawsuit. When the opposition learned who my attorney was, they were visibly disappointed that I had hired such a good attorney. I would recommend this firm without question.”

- Haddon B.

“My experience with Hampton & King was over all the best in a difficult situation. I came in not knowing where to start with my son's situation. From the very beginning I was  treated with compassion and respect. Every every step of the way everyone was kind and understanding and always on top of things. Mr. Hampton was very compassionate and explained details through this process. Truly I am very happy we met with them to make our situation a better one and to find out answers to many unanswered questions.”

- Irene P.

“After two local attorneys rejected my case, I contacted Chris King.  He was honest from the start and gave me little hope of a successful lawsuit  due to the unreasonable medical malpractice laws in Texas. But he was willing to try.  His hard work paid off and Chris was able to get me a settlement.  He kept in regular contact via email and phone throughout the process so I always felt well informed.  Almost two years after the case, he continues to email occasionally to see how my family is doing.  I have been thoroughly impressed by Chris and his staff.  Far exceeded our expectations.”

- Carroll W.

"First time having to file a lawsuit. Our decision to go with Hampton & King was easy to make after our first interview with Mr. King. Every question we had and every phone call we made was answered in a timely manner. We highly recommend using Mr. King and his law firm when you are facing a difficult matter with you or your family"
