Don't Hire the Wrong Attorney

If you're reading this review as you face an uncertain or frightening legal situation, know that I understand. So does Philip Kim. I first contacted Mr. Kim in September of 2018. At that time, I had just resolved one case in another part of the state and was navigating a similar set of circumstanc...es in Gwinnett County. From our very first conversation, Mr. Kim was always calm, deliberate, and reassuring. Even as we dealt with delays from the pandemic and turnover in the District Attorney's office, Mr. Kim never failed to advocate tirelessly on my behalf. Although the entire process took nearly four years, the outcome was worth the wait. Half of the charges I was facing were dropped, restitution was agreed to, and the two years of incarceration I was facing were reduced to probation. It was an incredibly fortunate outcome, and it would not have happened without Philip Kim's dedication, legal expertise, and knowledge of the Gwinnett County judicial system. Beyond that, however, is something even more significant, at least to me. From the first time we spoke until the day we walked out of court, I was upfront with Mr. Kim about the mistakes I had made. The charges I was facing were not things I was proud of. Despite that, Philip Kim never treated me like a criminal. Instead, he showed me kindness and compassion. I will always be grateful to him for that. Here's the bottom line: if you're looking for an attorney that will truly work for you, someone who will help you navigate a confusing and dangerous judicial system and come out on the other side, you need to retain Philip Kim right now. I'm thankful I did. You will be too.

Winner

The Philip Kim Law is a lawyer that you can trust. Philip is my second lawyer. My first lawyer did not do anything and when we were in court he did not even open his mouth. My understanding of a lawyer is that they should talk to the Judge on my behalf but my first lawyer did not do anything and ...we lost the case. Immediately after I started looking for attorneys and the first attorney I called was Philip Kim Law. Philip Kim answered the phone and after speaking about my husband’s case with him he told me exactly what he can do for my husband’s case. Then I realized this is a good idea. Philip Kim had a very positive attitude. I was trying to do some things beside what Philip Kim was doing then he called me and told me “let me do my job as you hired me as your lawyer.” From that moment, my mind was very comfortable and with each conversation he reassured us that he promised to try his best for our case. Philip and Emily work together in the Philip Kim Law Firm. Whenever I call the office, Philip or Emily answers the phone personally and even when I email them they will call me to discuss and each time they promise me that they will do their best for my husband’s case. Without even having to call them, they would provide me and my family with daily updates in my husband’s case and what their plans are and how they are going to deal with this case. I realized that Philip Kim was speaking daily with the various people that were involved in my husband’s case and communicating with me what they exactly discussed. He kept me informed every step of the case. Whenever my husband would not contact me from the jail, I was very worried and I called Philip Kim law and they went to see my husband in the jail immediately to make sure he was okay. After that, Philip Kim Law called me and told me that my husband was okay and that he would contact me from the jail. After some time, again this happened and I did not hear from my husband. However, Philip Kim Law went back to the jail to visit my husband and made sure that my husband would call me from the jail which he did. We needed a hospital assessment in my husband’s case. The first hospital assessment failed because my husband was depressed and unable to answer their questions. So they didn’t give the admission. Then I had to find another hospital so for the second assessment Philip Kim Law went to the jail to help facilitate the assessment which was successful and we received the admission. The court date Philip Kim WON the case and dismissed the case and my husband was released from jail and he went to a treatment center. I want to recommend Philip Kim Law as your lawyer if you are struggling like me. You can believe him 100% and you can trust Philip Kim Law with your legal case. Three things made my mind more comfortable during my distress time, Philip Kim said: I will do my best I promise. Let me do the job that you hired me to do as your lawyer. I want to win to get your husband out of jail. Whenever I talked to Philip Kim Law these three things that they promised me gave me positive thinking that my husband would be out of jail. Thank God I found Philip Kim Law.

Phillip Kim Saved My Life

Mr. Kim’s experience and knowledge of the law saved my life. He gave me a plan for my case as soon as I consulted him. Literally all I had to do was what he told me and just let him work his magic in the courtroom. EVERYTHING went exactly as he said it would. Retaining Mr. Kim’s services is one of... the biggest favors I’ve ever done for myself. Mr. Kim was able to set my mind at ease AND secure the outcome I needed. Don’t let your case control you, let Mr. Kim control your case. I can’t recommend this lawyer enough. Hire him NOW.

Reliable, Dedicated, & Honest

The first time I spoke with Philip Kim about needing assistance with an issue we were having with Probation, he did something that no other attorney has ever done before. Some lawyers charge a fee just to consult with them. Some lawyers give just a few minutes of their time to speak with you. Philip ...gave us more than 60 mins of his time at no cost. I had many concerns and questions and he addressed all of them. I was expecting to hear..."I can handle that for you no problem. For that kind of case I charge $$." I never heard those words from him. I never expected an attorney to give that much time for free. He helped guide me in the steps to take on how to proceed with our situation and it turned out great for us. Months later we contacted Philip Kim in regards to getting released from Probation early. We retained him without hesitation. He's always been available to answer questions or concerns that I have. The outcome was exactly what we wanted and he provided us with excellent service. Initially, 1 year still remained on the length of term for Probation but he successfully had it closed early. No more Probation. Philip Kim made me feel that he genuinely cares and I trust that he will always have our best interests in mind. He gives time and attention to all of the details and is very thorough in his work. If you're looking for an attorney, call Philip Kim!

"I've known Phil since my first day of law school. He never...ever...ever...quits. He's passionate about the law. The only thing he loves more than the law is seeing his clients with a smile. I have no doubt that he'll "burn the midnight oil" when needed to ensure his clients get the representation that they deserve."

"Philip Kim is an excellent advocate. I first met Phil five years ago when he was an intern at the Gerry Spence Trial Lawyers' College. Very few lawyers have the dedication to attend the Trial Lawyers' College, and even fewer attend during law school. Since then Phil has helped me prepare for and conduct numerous jury trials, and he has always contributed in a significant way. If you need a criminal lawyer, I highly recommend Phil Kim."
