Great Lawyer

Gerald helped me with my BK case, from the first point of contact Gerald, was responsive via email and phone, he understood my case, and had my best interest to help me navigate through my case, my case was complicated and had a wage garnishment order against my income, Gerald, jump in right away and... help me protect my income and stop the wage garnishment. Furthermore, every time I had a question in regards to my case Gerald was very professional an explained the process to clarify any concerns, during the filing, court appearance, Gerald explained every step of the process and reassure me that I was going to be "okay" free of dept in no time. Sure enough Gerald, deliver outstanding results with a discharge of my case. Overall I appreciate Gerald's help, he is a super lawyer.

1st Class Service - Great Support Team!

Gerald Kim and his team were an instrumental part of my filing process. The decision to file bankruptcy is stressful and overwhelming with legal requirements and endless documentation. Throughout the entire process Gerald offered detailed communication, answered my many questions, and handled the pap...erwork, which relieved much of my stress. It was so comforting to have his knowledge and expertise during the process. I highly recommend Gerald and his team because they offer superior customer service, compassion, and endless support throughout the process. Now, looking back after my case has been approved and is behind me, I am thankful for lawyers like Gerald!

Experienced and Efficient

Gerald S. Kim represented me during my Chapter 7 BK and was successful in receiving my discharge only within 3-months from the submittal date. Gerald was extremely knowledgeable of the BK process and was also very informative, available and clear to answer any questions I had throughout the process.... I highly-recommend Gerald and will definitely send him referrals :]
