Helped take a mistake and make it better

Julius helped me through a very tough DUI incident. He treated me with the upmost respect and understanding and helped to put me in the best legal position I could be in with an excellent result. Would recommend to anyone who's made one mistake drinking or anywhere else and needs a super intelligent ...compassionate fighter of an attorney in your corner.

The best lawyer

I got into some trouble. Attorney Kim was compassionate and listened to everything I said. I trusted him with my case and I could not have asked for a better attorney. Thank you Attorney Kim...

"Julius is a great attorney in the courtroom. However, where he makes his mark, in my opinion, is with his work ethic. It would be hard to find a harder working attorney than Julius. I have had the opportunity to see Julius grow from a law student to a young prosecutor to a criminal defense attorney, at each level out working his opponent (except when it was me). Dont be surprised to get an email from him at 2 AM."

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.
