Camille King is an experienced private mediator and collaborative attorney.  She specializes in assisting couples with issues related to marriage and domestic partnership, including dissolution, child custody, support, property division matters, premarital agreements, and cohabitation agreements.

I am a Certified Family Law Specialist and represent clients in Orange, Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, and select matters in the Central Coast and Sacramento area. I work with clients of all background, including business owners, homemakers, those with 7/8 figure wealth, attorneys, doctors, therapists, teachers, and military servicemembers and veterans. I also work with forensic accountants, therapists, mediators, loan officers, real estate agents, and attorneys in other fields to holistically resolve your family law issues.  I have a lot of experience in high conflict custody matters, including domestic and international move away, domestic violence, substance abuse, and mental health issues. While I litigate, I settle many of my cases because I maintain good relationships with my fellow family law attorneys, the Court, and other professionals, and work hard to know the facts of your matter so I can quickly work to resolve the matter with your partner/spouse. I strongly believe in the principal of informed consent. You will know where you stand and what decisions you can make so you can make the best choice for yourself and your family.. I love the practice of family law. I know it's an unwanted service, but one that is necessary. People often come to me when they have been victims of abuse, made personal mistakes that have caused an end of a marriage or relationship, or simply have grown apart. It's hard for many people to let go of the past and the end of the relationship and move forward. That is why I work with a variety of family law related experts (financial planners, forensic accountants, life coaches, real estate professionals and therapists) to help you divide assets, heal, and take control of your future and the legacy you want to leave your loved ones.. 9/25/25: College Football Week 5 (14-6). 1) Alabama vs Georgia: Vegas has this game as nearly a push. Alabama lost to FSU Week one and looks like the fourth best SEC team this year. Georgia won at UT last week in a game they have lost but looks better and is at home. Bulldogs roll Tide. 2) Oregon vs Penn State:. Penn State should win, they are st home, they gave upgraded their defense. But Oregon's offense is unstoppable. Close game but Oregon is too explosive. Oregon wins.. 3) USC vs Illinois: Illinois got destroyed last week. USC doesn't do great on the road but year two in  if 10 and has more skill on both sides of the ball. I think that loss last week won't wear off on Illinois abd they come out flat. USC wins.. 4) BYU vs. Colorado: Revenge game for the Buffalos. But, they can't stop the run, and can't run the football. BYU can run the football and has the better QB. Vegas has BYU favored by 6.5. It could be a blowout. BYU covers.. 5) TCU vs ASU: Hoover is one of the best QBs in College football. ASU is at home, but I don't think they are as good offensively without Skataboo. TCU looks to be a big 12 contender this year. Close game but I expect TCU to win a close game.. 9/29/25: Thank you, and Considerations in Settlement in DV matters:. In the last two months, I have retained a lot of cases. I very much appreciate the referrals, and the people who have reached out to me from seeing my profile on Avvo, or through any source. That has resulted in a very busy September for me, along with the rest of the year.  I appreciate the trust that clients, both old and new place in me.. Have a DV matter and assume that you must go to trial to resolve your matter? Think again. While domestic violence matters require court appearances, the Court gives the parties wide latitude to resolve their matters. If you are the restrained party, and there is an existing TRO in place, contacting the other party would violate the restraining order. However, you can communicate with the other party's attorney for purpose of settlement.. Awhile ago, I retained a client who was nervous about litigating the restraining order. It was an emotional ordeal for the client, and there was a lot of worry, rightfully so, about cost and time in Court. I talked to the client about the case and realized that this was a matter that probably could be resolved without a trial. Both my and the other attorney talked through the issues and when we went to Court we had the Court write up a TRO to extend the restraining order for a longer period of time. The case settled and no witnesses were called. The client was very happy.. While there are many times where settlement is not possible (the other party or their attorney wants to fight the restraining order, there is too much emotional damage done to resolve the matter, children were abused and are in danger if they are contacted, or strategically its necessary to obtain FC 3044 findings), even in situations where the abuser and victim are married with children, attorney's can navigate these issues and negotiate an extension to the DVRO, custody and support orders. So long as the settlement is reasonable for both parties, resolving these issues will save significant time, and emotional resources of both the victim and the abuser.. I have never had a client unhappy by resolving these difficult issues without a trial, as they were in control of their own case and not the Court.. Happy to have a conversation about your family issues and can be contacted at my office by phone, in person meetings at the office, or a Zoom/WhatsApp conference.

Born and raised in Morro Bay, California, I attended college in the Midwest (University of Chicago - B.A. June 1996) and law school in the Rocky Mountains (University of Denver - J.D. May 1999).  I obtained my Colorado license and practiced briefly at a medium-sized litigation firm in Denver before returning to practice in my home state of California in 2000.. I believe my clients are entitled to a lawyer who can call upon extensive trial experience to assess how their case will be received during a trial, arbitration, or mediated settlement.  From the first day of my practice I focused on courtroom and trial advocacy.  I have attended several hundreds of hearings before courts, arbitrators, and governmental agencies.  Of those, nearly 100 were contested hearings and trials involving live witness testimony.  As a result, I have developed the deep background necessary to help you make the best decision possible in your dispute.. I have been married over half my life and I have five children, so I can relate to individual situations with job, kids, and family, on a personal level.  When I'm not working, I coach children's sports, help with their activities, swim, practice yoga, waterski, attend my church, and I will go to just about any baseball game I can find.

After earning my B.A. in Political Science at the University of California, Davis, I went on to study law at Willamette University College of Law in Salem, Oregon. My emphasis in Law School was the study of family law. This emphasis required specialized classes and even volunteer work. I spent much of my free time pouring over discovery at a local law firm which also specialized in the practice of family law. Following graduation, I continued to show a strong interest in this area of law. I started my own family law practice in 2011 and was hired on as an associate with Herrig & Vogt in 2013.. Family law often involves very serious and very personal legal issues. I give every client the respect they deserve and endeavor to help them delicately resolve issues that often involve the strongest of emotions created by hurt feelings and broken promises. Recognizing how stressful these situations can be, I make it my goal to make the process as peaceful and simple as possible, encouraging litigation only when the other side is being cruel or unreasonable.. Practicing family law requires that the practitioner constantly educate him or herself on the ever-changing patchwork that makes up the family law field. If it can affect my clients, I need to know about it. To that end, I am constantly updating my understanding of the law, attending conferences, meeting with other attorneys and participating in local bar association events.. I am admitted to practice law in all California State Courts, along with the U.S. District Court in and for the Eastern District of California. I am also a member of the American Bar Association: Family law Section, the Placer County Bar Association, the Sacramento County Bar association and the State Bar of California.. For those currently navigating through their own family law matters, I practice primarily in Placer and Sacramento Counties and would welcome the opportunity to answer any questions you might have.

I am certified as a Specialist in Family Law, a distinction granted by the Board of Legal Specialization of the State Bar of California, and am licensed to practice before all courts in California.. I successfully and aggressively specialize in handling all aspects of family law, including divorce, child support, child custody, spousal support, and prenuptial agreements.
