Real Estate Probate Sale
I worked with David in a Real Estate Probate Sale. He was very thorough and knowledgeable about the transaction. David went out of his way to protect his client and get the deal closed. I look forward to working David in the future.

Great divorce attorney!
I contacted Mr. Kim to represent me in a divorce matter. My ex was making all sorts of wild allegations, including claims to certain separate property that was mine. Mr. Kim was able to sift through the empty threats and obtain the right resolution to my matter.
"David and I were on opposite sides of a conservatorship litigation case. David was extremely professional and exceptionally bright and experienced. I would have no hesitation referring David clients in the future."
"Okay, so I am biased since David is my law partner, but he sure is an excellent family law and litigation attorney! Former D.A. Focused, smart, persistent, compassionate with his clients. Really goes the extra mile or two for his clients. And I sure wouldn't want to be his opposing counsel on a case!"
"I highly endorse this lawyer. I have known David for several years in a professional capacity when we have worked on legal matters together. David is a very knowledgeable, experienced, and good attorney in business, commercial disputes, and real estate matters."
