Efficient and flexible

Miss Kima helped us with my immigration paperwork and everything went smoothly. We only had to meet in person twice and exchanged a few emails. At the first meeting Miss Kima walked us through what documents we were going to need and what to expect. At the second meeting we handed over all the requi...red documentation for her to review and file whatever U.S.C.I.S needed and she handled the rest. We were very satisfied with her services. Thank you Miss Kima!!!

Best immigration attorney the Hampton roads area!

My husband and I hired attorney Kima to handle our case and have been very satisfied with her services. She is an excellent attorney with more than 20 years experience. Immigration law is her passion and she is very good at it. She has been very kind to us and is very affordable. We made a great choi...ce.

Great Lawyer

Ms Kima was very knowledgable, always prompt and extremely well prepared. Mine was a complicated case combining a tough divorce with immigration/emigration AND custody issues. She was able to delineate and untangle my case accurately,precisely and with favorable results.

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.
