Gretchen Mullins Kim

Gretchen was knowledgeable, thoughtful, and genuinely committed to protecting my interests. She was extremely helpful with the Qualified Domestic Relations Order process, asset calculations, and every step involved in dividing property. When something unusual arose, she found creative and practical s...olutions and clearly explained the reasoning behind them. She handled every filing and deadline promptly and was relentless in following up with the other side. Gretchen listened without judgment and patiently explained anything I did not understand. She made the entire process feel like a team effort, and I never felt like I was facing it alone. She went above and beyond to ensure the final agreement was reasonable and fair. What began as an overwhelming and unmanageable situation ultimately resulted in an outcome I was very happy with. I would recommend her without hesitation.

Trust is something very sacred to me. When I was confronted with accepting the person I would have trusted my life with has now betrayed me, my state of mind was all over the place. I truly thank God, Gretchen became my attorney in my divorce. She advocated for me when I didn't have the fight to... advocate for myself. I thought I was unique, because Gretchen went above and beyond for me. However, as I recalled her reviews I realized this is how she conducts herself professionally. Gretchen's knowledge and understanding of matrimonial law far outweighs many in this field. She worked hard to ensure I walked away with a divorce settlement I deserved after 27 years of marriage. While my divorce was a dark time in my life, retaining Gretchen Kim was clearly my light.

Embarking on a divorce can be a very scary time. After reading countless reviews, I contacted a handful of attorneys. Gretchen was the first to reach out to me and I am so grateful she was. From the very beginning she was calm, reassuring, comforting and very knowledgeable on divorce laws. She has a ...big heart but she is tough! Her demeanor gave me the confidence to see the entire process through without apprehension. She had my best interest in mind and was prompt, swift and effective. I never once had to compromise on anything and am so pleased with the outcome of my case. I highly recommend Gretchen.

Gretchen recently helped our family through a complex and emotional legal matter. We found Gretchen by reference after leaving another large "fancy" and expensive law firm which was not giving our case any proactive thought despite the enormous bills, which was causing great anxiety. Gretchen quick...ly jumped in, got up to speed on the entire history of the case file, gave us her point of view on how to handle things and did so with great diligence to the law, great compassion for the people involved and great efficiency. She accomplished more in a couple of months than we had been able to achieve in a year with the big firm. Also, as a seasoned professional who has "seen this before" many times over, she provided much-needed insight, wisdom and perspective of what she has seen happen often 5 to 10 years down the road after legal matters such as these. Thinking beyond the moment we were in provided some comfort and perspective when making decisions along the way. We were not receiving such counsel from the junior attorney (who knew nothing) or the senior attorney (who popped in for 15 minutes here and there) on our case at the big firm. When choosing her, we did some research online and I recall a review that described her a fiercely knowledgeable and effective in court but with "the bedside manner of Mother Theresa" with her clients. Those words really stuck with me and they are true. She is very smart and effective, knows the law and can go head to head with the worst of them. But she is also an honest and empathetic human who tells you what you need to hear (even when its not in your favor) in a way that helps you understand all the legal issues so you can make an informed decision. She is truly about helping the client achieve their goals - not about wracking up bills or prolonging processes. That said, She knows the law deeply and will fight point for point if that is what you want to do. On behalf of my family, I truly can't thank her enough for her service.

Best lawyer ever. I’ve never felt more cared for by any professional in my entire life, and that is an understatement. When you are in distress it’s difficult to think clearly and calmly and that, in addition to understanding complicated laws, complicates matters even more. However, I was so relieve...d when I first met with her. Gretchen KNOWS THE MATRIMONIAL LAWS like no other attorney. I have hired and fired an attorney before finding her as I felt that he was motivated by money and not caring for me or my family enough to get us through the barriers and hard times. But unlike him Gretchen was CARING, reassuring, articulate, knowable and effective. Looking back now, the divorce process was so much easier than what I have anticipated as she gave me a peace of mind in a stressful but successful outcome. I don’t wish it on anyone to go through a divorce but if you find yourself in such a situation please take this recommendation and look no further. This is the best attorney you’ll ever find.
