Being a Witness...
“I love being a witness, with someone challenging me on something that I know so well: building code."
​
Robert Arthur King has consulted on some 40 cases, appearing as a witness in the courtroom about a half dozen times. "And we won every time," Robert says.
​
"Legal consulting is so special because I have knowledge of building codes," he explains. With a legal consulting style that he describes as "thorough, detailed, focused," Robert describes his mindset for every case: "I'm in it - totally in it."
In fact, in one case, his insights were cited in the judge's ruling. "At the hearing..., I found Mr. King not only credible but extremely impressive," wrote the judge.
"How to walk a dog is in the code, and what you cannot put on a fire escape is in there too," he says. "It's fascinating to read!"
