legal representation

Michael Lim helped us navigate a challenging case regarding a plaintiff against us. Michael was strategic in his deliberations that resulted in a successful outcome. He outlined his strategy with us in advance and met us to review the background and the pending court appearances. He outlined multi...ple levels of strategy that could be invoked depending on the developments in the trial. We felt very confident with his representation and would not hesitate to retain his services again if needed. He was professional in the court room environment and clearly expressed the legal parameters of the case. In summary, we could not have asked for a better legal representative for our case.

Attorney Michael Lim

We have worked with Attorney Lim for almost ten years. Whether it was to get legal advise on how to handle a situation or needing representation. He has always been upfront, professional and honest with what we can expect. We have the utmost respect for Attorney Lim and you can see that carries... thru the entire legal process. In or out of the court room you notice this same respect in how the judges, other attorneys and agencies interact with him. We have been fortunate on the outcome of our cases. Should the turn out have not been what we were hoping for, it would have had nothing to do with what Attorney Lim did not do for us. He puts 110% into his clients and it shows.

Highly Unprofessional

My lawyer quit Reff Law half way through my case. Mike Lim took over my case at Reff Law, but he did absolutely NOTHING on my case. After Lim repeatedly ignored my messages, I went into their office one day before my trial to ask Mike Lim if he was ready for the trial. He was not. He didn't even ...know where my file was located. When he found it at the bottom of a pile of papers off to the side, it was obvious that he had not ever reviewed it. When I told him that my trial was the following morning, he had to request a new trial date. When I asked Mike Lim why he wasn't ready, he told me Reff Law transferred the case to him when my attorney quit, but that the money I was paying his firm was not being credited to him personally, so he did nothing. He didn't want to help me. He intended to do nothing. He cared not all about me and my case.
