Excellent attorney!

If you don’t what else to do and no one else can help, contact Richard! We were in a situation where no one else (other attorneys) seemed knowledgeable enough to represent us and go forward with our case. Mr. Kim was professional and his expertise in law was unmatched! His legal team was exceptional!...

Great Advice

Rich helped advise me through some tough legal issues. His reasoning was sound and logical. Best of all, I could tell he had my well being in mind first. Would recommend him to anybody looking for a credit repair/FCRA attorney.

Great attorney

Great attorney who made process simple and seamless. I wish if I could choose 10 stars, very satisfied. He is very proactive and knowledgeable about the law. I was very impressed and felt being in good hands. Throughout the process, I got answers to any of queries with few hours of time. I am very sa...tisfied with the outcome and wish him best for future.

Highly Recommended!

In July of 2014 I retained the services of Richard Kim to help settle a financial dispute between a former business partner and myself. Mr. Kim quickly familiarized himself with all details of my case, conveyed a clear and concise plan of action, was always easy to reach and quick to respond, and m...ost importantly maintained the highest standards of ethical conduct throughout the yearlong proceedings, culminating in a financial settlement in my favor. He would be my first call should I ever need to retain legal services in the future, and I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone needing to do the same.

Amazingly wonderful, kind and capable

My husband and I were being sued by an incredibly unscrupulous company. My husband was dealing with a life threatening illness and had to have surgery to prolong his life. After botched representation from a lawyer who was an acquaintance and my ignorance of court proceedings which upset the judge (r...ightfully so) Rich came in, worked over the holidays and saved me from these predators. He won our case and a judgement in our favor. He saved my marriage, gave my husband time to heal, and unraveled a mess that could've destroyed our life. He exemplifies 'due diligence'. I will consider him a friend for for life. His exemplary work ethics and professionalism are above reproach. Makes me emotional. Thank you Richard Kim. The world needs more attorneys of your character!!!

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.
