Posted by anonymous | September 12, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Atrocious

I hired Ms. Kim to guide me through my divorce and deeply regret that decision. Her temperament changed dramatically after the initial consultation, she no longer wanted my input and made me feel stupid for asking basic questions. Her demeanor and even dress upset the judge in our case, which I belie...ve impacted many of the decisions.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
