Knowledgeable and the ultimate professional

Ms. Sammy Kim was our attorney for a complicated matter with the IRS that arose from reporting errors from another party. After numerous attempts to resolve the matter on our own, we went to the Sodowsky Law Firm and had a great meeting with Ms. Kim. She provided us with a clear path forward and took... away all the anxiety from dealing with the issue ourselves. Ms. Kim delivered and our matter was resolved perfectly. The whole team was wonderful, professional in conduct, and responsive.

Fantastic group, experience + resolution

Reached out to Ggoch Kim regarding previous years of unified taxes. Went through a divorce and had a hard time keeping finances straight after court battles and a few other mishaps. Ggoch Kim and staff made me feel very welcomed right from the beginning. Within a short time, all financials were orga...nized, filed and resolutions agreed. Fees were reasonable, staff 5 star professionals. Wouldn’t hesitate to refer in a heart beat...

Super Lawyer!

Ms. Kim was amazing! I had an erroneous tax lien from DC government for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Not only did Ms. Kim aggressively advocate on my behalf, keeping me up to date through the whole process, she was able to get DC government to admit the mistake and withdraw their lien! Than...ks so much Ms. Kim! If you have any tax issue, you MUST use Ms. Kim.!!!!

Consulted for Tax Audit

I consulted with Sammy about a Tax Audit. The thoughtful advice and attention to detail I received resulted in no change in my return within 30 days of submitting information on my audit. Sammy is very competent about Tax laws. Unlike other attorneys, I was never pressured to hire them, in fact ...I was encouraged that I could handle this on my own. They are a very ethical firm and attorneys—very hard to find these days. Specifically, I was advised to make it easy for the auditor to review the material, offer specific narratives, organize material with tabs, slip sheets , numbers,for each sub item and also write a short response letter in the order of the asks and submit the information in a timely manner.
