Veteran senior counsel Joey King passes away

Veteran civil and commercial litigation attorney and one of the first Legal Aid executives Joey King SC passed away yesterday at the age of 93 after ailing for some time.

King spent his entire career working at Guyana’s oldest law firm, Cameron and Shepherd,  located on Avenue of the Republic.

His longtime colleague and friend Ralph Ramkarran remembered him for his integrity and dedication to the legal field, so much that even when he retired in 2006, he continued going to his office until he was no longer physically able to do so.
