Stay Away! Fake Service!

This man literally makes a living making clients sign a $500 non refundable contract. Kim's firm sat on my marriage documents for over 2 years and had zero intentions on ever completing it. The office excuse was that the attorney Kim's in charge was off in vacation. You will never get a call back fro...m Kim's firm. Save your money and go elsewhere, there's a lot of lawyers with bad intentions and this man is one of them. Kim's attorney Lee called my husband just to say he was sorry and laugh his way through one final conversation with him. They need to revoke Kim and Lee's license and anybody else who behaves in such bad faith. Kim's firm takes advantage of desperate people needing legal advice and help. I lost both my medical and dental insurance waiting on a trusted attorney who had no intention of helping. Kim's firm hurt my me by blowing 2 years off our life, please don't let that be you. God bless.

Amazing Lawyer and all round GOOD person

I was SO nervous asking about bankruptcy. Prior to coming to see Jon C. Kim, I felt insecure, beat down and just in the dumps. Not only did he take care of the bankruptcy with ease, but made me feel at home, an reassured me I am OK and will be OK. I went in that office feeling low down, and came ou...t feeling so much more confident, so much more resilient, and now I have built my credit up to snuff. Thank you Mr Kim!

100% recommended!

I utilized Mr. Kim's legal services a while back for a bankruptcy case. At the time, I was very concerned about everything this process would entail, and my fears were compounded by my lack of legal knowledge. Mr. Kim graciously walked me through every part of the process, clearly explaining my optio...ns, and clarifying which steps I would need to take in order to cleanly go through with the legal proceedings. I felt 100% confident and reassured by the fair and friendly treatment from John Kim and his staff.
