My Angel

This attorney was literally like an Angel to us. She is awsome and very good at her job one day she offered her help to me when I most needed it and I thank god for that thanks to her I was able to keep my son and my family together. She is an amazing person with a huge heart and I got a really short... notice about my court date and she was able to take on my case like nothing and took over and won. I will always be thankful for Mrs. Michelle Morias Kim from the bottom of heart ❤️

Worst Experience Ever

This lady listens to made up hearsay from caseworkers and without evidence, without talking to the other person involved, uses that information to testify in court. Not only did the made up story have any foundation, it clearly had zero merit/evidence to back it up. The story made zero sense. She ...also made her decisions on other areas without investigating any of it, or talking to the people involved. Her decisions and testimony ruined the lives of little children and helped place the children back in the same danger from which they came. She doesn't help families, she hurts them.

Kind, loyal, encouraging, persistent

Ms. Kim was appointed as my daughter's attorney in a CPS case. She was a perfect match for our problems and efficiently helped my daughter (that worked hard) regain complete custody of her daughter. She was an encouragement for my daughter and knew how to handle the over reaching arm of CPS. She... was always on time and available by cell phone at all times. I highly recommend Michelle Kim. .

Worst Experience Ever

Lost custody of my child as a final result of this attorney's representation. This attorney was verbally abusive to me in public, late to hearings, and did not fight for me at all. Even though her efforts were an epic failure...she was promptly paid in full for her services. To this day (May 15, 2...014), I still have not received the modified orders for possession of my child, and the case was finalized in July 2013! Initially, when I asked for the paperwork, she demanded that I drive 1.5 hours (one way) to her office to conduct an "exit conversation" in order to "close the case" and give me the final paperwork--totally out of the question and unheard of. Subsequently, I have made countless attempts to contact her office to procure the documentation to no avail, nor any return phone calls. Hiring this attorney should not be an option. I feel used and extorted.

This client is right. She did have a horrible experience. Anyone who knows the pain of divorce with children understands the anger, the loneliness and the excruciating pain of not being able to spend time with your child. A lawyer's job is to tell them the hard truths about their case, the consequences of their choices. If you have lost custody of your child, consider what the court will look for in considering a modification to your decree. Has the circumstances of you or the child changed? Are you able to spend more time with your child now? Can you send them to a better school to meet their educational needs? Can you provide them with a safer environment? Are you in a better relationship? Are you able to navigate the difficult waters of co-parenting with an ex-spouse? A court will consider evidence of a parents successful efforts to put their child first in their life.

MK Will Fight For You, and Your Children!!

The ex-wife has a history of being over drama when in court continuing to cause problems for the 3 children and myself, Her Lawer requested to the Judge that I be incarcerated. Mrs. Kim reviews my case an accepted to work Pro Bono. The Judge, after listening to Michelle, overrode the Ex-wife Attorn...ey plea to have me incarcerated and granted me all my modification. I would highly recommend Mrs. Kim to anyone needing representation when it comes to Parent with children. Mrs. Kim work very hard and kept me up to date with the legal terminology. Mrs. Kim went beyond the call of duties when she suggested that she be present at my daughter’s IEP meeting at her school. Mrs. Kim Was there to advocate for Sydney wellbeing, and for her studies. I was touch by her actions, I’ve never heard of any attorney that would go the extra mile to help a family on her own time; after all she was representing me Pro Bono. I will always be grateful to her, for all she had done for my children and I. Thank You Mrs. Michelle Morais Kim!
