Lawyer Level: Outstanding!!! Awesome!!! The Best!!!

One of the best things in my world is that I have rock star attorneys named Chong S. Kim and his equally awesome partner, Leonard Boyer. I've had the pleasure to work with both on my case and these gentlemen are lifesavers! They are Knowledgeable, Honest, Professional, Available when you need ...them, Responsive, Open and most of all Caring!!! They take the time to get to know you as a client and find out what your goals/needs are and do their level and legal best to help you achieve them. Both are calm, caring individuals and they work together seamlessly. They were great at communicating with me, in person, on the phone, via email etc and effortlessly helping to alleviate any fears I may have had during the course of my case, etc. These gentlemen will be my attorneys for life and in addition to them doing everything and more that they said they could/would do on my behalf, I am happy to recommend them and endorse them.

I recommend Mr. Kim highly as attorney

Mr. Kim is a great attorney. He helped me settle one lawsuit and got a dismissal of another. I recommend him highly. 김종수 변호사 강추입니다. 5, 6年 전에 나도모르게 크레딧회사 들에게 소송을 당했읍니다. 억울하지만 파산으로 정리하는것이 여러면에서 최상의 선택같아서 김변호사 한테 의례 했읍니다. 김변호사 조사결과 내 크레딧스코 가 780점 이라고 하면서 싸울가치가 있다며 파산은 마지막 선택으로 하자고 하더군요. 변호사 ...비용은 좀들었지만, 시간은 좀길었지만, 상당히 만족스러은 결과 을 갇다 주었읍니다. 한 문제 ($3500)는 500불 에 합이하고 (변호사비용 절감하기위해서), 다른문제 ($35000)는 기각 시켜읍니다. 김변호사 말투 가 직설적이어서 오해을 했지만, 상당히 양심적이며 변호사임무와 손님을 위해서 물불을 가리지않은 변호사라는 느낌울 받았읍니다. 상당히 인간적이다는 느낌을받았읍니다. 김종수 변호사 강추입니다.

Highly Recommended.

After acquiring several more traffic violations because of my lead foot, I contacted Mr. Kim. He dealt with my violations with the greatest of ease and kept me informed every step of the way. When all was said and done, I walked away with a slap on the wrist and a small fine.
