      Review Richard Kim

      Great Auto Accident Attorney

      Posted by

      Richard was able to handle my auto accident case from the beginning to end. He even helped me get my car repaired and made sure I went to the right doctors to get my injuries treated. When it came to negotiate with the insurance company Richard was able to get me a great settlement.

      Trustworthy

      Posted by

      When Richard took on my case I don't think he knew what he was getting into. LOL. I had a very complex case. He immediately got one of my felonies reduced without any issues. My second one would not come off. Richard went the extra mile that I was not expecting. He suggested that we go for a Governors Pardon. after researching this, my hopes where not high, but he assured me that we had a great case. (really old case). We went in front of the judge with what Richard prepared and we got granted the Pardon. This is something that does not happen often or automatic. I can't thank him enough for restoring my rights and finally putting some closure on a dark youthful past. My wife also is very thankful. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone.

      Very Happy with the Settlement

      My family used attorney Richard Kim for a personal injury case. From our initial consultation through the conclusion of our case, Richard was involved every step of the way. I appreciated how he kept us informed and provided us with frequent updates, and was always willing to answer any questions that we had about our case. He strongly advocated on our behalf and got us a great result!

      Great Attorney

      When I am deciding on which lawyer to go with, my two most important factors are trust and transparency. A good friend referred me to Mr. Kim and I'm glad he did. Mr. Kim was thorough and kept me in the loop on all the important details of my case. He went to bat for me and I was happy with the results. Mr. Kim is trustworthy and it would be a dishonor if I did not pass his services forward.

      Extremely thorough!

      Richard Kim has been a tremendous help to me guiding me through my entire legal process. I was pulled over for a DUI back in October and was at a loss for what to do despite doing my own research as far as the next steps I should take. Contacting Richard was the best decision that I made as he made the legal journey as smooth as it could go. I was as proactive as I could be in tackling my case, something I probably wouldn't have done had I gone through this alone. He answered any questions I had promptly and thanks to him we were able to get the reckless driving conviction instead of DUI. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.

      Kind and assertive lawyer that got me settlement

      Posted by

      Mr Kim was very responsive and got me a fair settlement when I got hit as I was parked in my vehicle. More importantly, he found a holistic doctor that my oncologist approved as I was beginning chemotherapy treatment when the accident happened I have recommended Mr Kim to anyone who's asked for a good attorney to handle traffic accidents

      Fantastic Attorney very helpful

      Posted by

      Richard and his staff were there to help me through the entire process from beginning to end. Any time I wanted to talk to Richard he would take my call or return my calls within 24 hours. I had another lawyer for an accident I had 5 years ago and I never got to speak with the attorney after the initial consultation and only spoke with assistants who were not helpful and who would not keep me updated on my case. Richard and his staff would give me consistent updates and moved my case along quickly.

      Great attorney

      Richard is a superb attorney who knows his specialty very well. I highly recommend him and would advise for anyone looking for a good DUI attorney to obtain him for representation. Aside from that, he works with you on his retainer. I could go on and on but the main thing is that he's on your side. Thank you Richard for all your hard work.

      Fantastic Attorney

      Richard represented me in my DUI case in Orange County. He was very knowledgeable and calmed any worries that I had about the case. He made himself very available to answer any questions that I had. He was able to get my penalties.
