Chong Joo Kim's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Chong is a great lawyer and a great person; I have consulted with her, and her advice is always sound and fair. As an added bonus, she knows her way around the maze of various courts in and around Atlanta."
"Chong is one of the best DUI and misdemeanor criminal lawyers in the Atlanta area."
"A skilled courtroom litigator, I endorse Mrs. Kim."
"I have known Chong for 8 years. She is a wonderful lawyer, and person. Before I was in private practice I never hesitated to send potential clients to her when someone asked me for the name of a great criminal defense attorney."
"Ms. Chong Kim has not only been a personal colleague for years, but we have often referred clients and cases to each other, as our practices (mine immigration, hers criminal defense) have overlapped. She is a stellar attorney, and achieves excellent results for her clients."
