Delivered everything I expected

Mr. Kim handled my case with short notice and helped me close a very old chapter. He is absolutely fantastic and did a great job. I highly recommend him!

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.

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!

He really put my mind at ease because he was so on top of everything

I was charged with 3 hit and runs, 2 unsafe u turns, and 1 failure to maintain lane. I was looking at thousands in fines and real jail time. Phil really came through for me. 2 hit and runs and my other tickets got dropped, which was almost everything really, and I ended up with just fines and a defen...sive driving class. What really impressed me though was how Phil was always returning my calls right away, calling me when I didn't even call him, and taking the time to talk to me about what was happening in my case. He didn't seem too busy to talk. I have had lawyers before but I never really knew what was going on with my case because they didn't always call me back when I had questions. Phil was very professional and it was obvious how much integrity he has. And he treated me with respect like a friend would. He is a great lawyer and really knows the law and what he is doing. If I ever need help again, Phil is the only lawyer I would even think of calling.

"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."
