Amazing Attorney

Second review I hired Caroline Kim to represent me in a restraining order and custody case. She prepared me for trial and got me the best results. I was able to have custody with my son. I saw her performance in court, she put more than a 100% into my case. I saw that she really cares about h...er clients and her cases. She is very smart and has so much compassion for her clients. I definitely recommend her for any family law case. Two thumbs up!!

Happily Divorced

I had the pleasure of working with Caroline Kim for a messy divorce proceeding. I had been searching for a credible attorney, met with a few for free consultations but, just wasn’t satisfied until a friend recommend Caroline. From the first time I met with her I knew I had finally found the one. I... didn’t feel rushed like I had with the prior attorneys, and it was clear she actually cared about my case by the questions she asked. After I hired her, she kept in close contact with me and always took my calls. Which was kind of surprising but refreshing. She didn’t make any guarantees for the outcome, but she promised me she would do her best. She’s a straight shooter, somewhat blunt however, it pays off in the court room. It was clear she demands respect and receives it. The best part about working with Caroline was that I got actually what I wanted in the divorce! If you are looking for a no nonsense, passionate, competent attorney, Caroline S. Kim is your lady. Signed, Happily Divorced

Passionate attorney that fights hard for her clients

I found Caroline online when I was looking for a family law attorney. Her reviews are impressive so I decided to give her a call. I ended up hiring her quickly after meeting her and canceling all other appointments I had lined up with other attorneys. She handled everything from start to finish and ...when we got to court and in front of the judge she was very impressive. She definitely knows her stuff and does not back down. She got me everything I wanted and more. My case was not an easy open and shut case either. I cannot say enough great things about this attorney and I’m proud to call her my own attorney from now on. I will never look anywhere else. She is an expert and has proven herself to be very good at what she does. Her rate is more than reasonable considering what other attorneys are charging. She even helped me out and lowered her rate for me. I am a single mother and don’t have an abundance of money to spend on an attorney. She is not only passionate, she is also extremely compassionate and cares about her clients. Bottom line I got everything I wanted and more and I ended up paying way less than I would’ve paid had I gone with someone else. Don’t make the mistake of not hiring her as your attorney if you are looking. She has great reviews for a reason.

Caroline Kim

I’m very pleased with ms. Kim. She is really dedicated, always put notes and makes sure not to miss any details that serves your case in the court. I’m a domestic violence survivor and she made me feel empowered and confident to stand up for myself with her guidance in every single step. Great per...son to work with.

Childsupport

I’m from Las Vegas! I hired Ms. Kim as my attorney to represent me in court regarding a Childsupport case that is located In Los Angeles . Not knowing anyone In Los Angeles made it much harder to hire an attorney especially just by searching online .... but I took my chances and I couldn’t be any ha...ppier with Mrs. Kim’s dedication & hard work .She fought for me and took it personal as if it were her own ! She was Faaantastic in court !! Kim Answered all of my questions & concerns, she’s very knowledgeable as a lawyer. Kim and Denisse were available when in need and kept me informed every step of the way ! I now know that if ever in need of a lawyer in Los Angeles , Kim will be the person I’ll go to! Thank you Ms. Kim !

"Caroline supervised and ran the Los Angeles office of the very first bankruptcy law firm I worked for. She generously provided me with lessons and knowledge I still use today in my own practice. Caroline was always on top of everything in her office and gave the best legal advice with no sugar coating to her clients. Her knowledge in not only bankruptcy but litigation is expansive, and you are getting a first rate attorney should you have the fortune of retaining her. I wholeheartedly endorse Caroline."

"Not only Caroline is exceedingly competent in the area of bankruptcy, she is, by far, one of the most ethical attorneys I've met. She fervently defends and prevails in cases for her clients where attorneys with twice the number of years of experience have given up. You cannot not have a more trustworthy and skilled attorney on your side."
