Trustworthy lawyer

Posted by

I got a DUI in 2019 and was in a really tough spot for a few weeks. I shopped around and met with several lawyers because this would be a very important decision in my life. After meeting with Mr. Kim, I knew that I would be in good hands. Most lawyers are known to "ghost" you once you retain them, but Mr. Kim was always available for my questions whether it's by phone or text, even on the weekends! If you're on the fence or are looking for someone you can trust, look no further because he is your guy.

Highly recommended

I hired Christian for an expungement case. I was skeptical that I would get both felony expungements granted, not only did he make that happen but, he managed to do it did it in less then 3 months. I would highly recommend him. He was incredibly helpful and on top of it! Hopefully I won’t need to hire any more attorneys if I do he will be the first one I call.

Prompt and available for questions/concerns

Christian was prompt in answering both emails and texts. He explained the process at the initial consultation and his one-time fee was reasonable. He was available if we had any questions or concerns. He was on time for proceedings. I would recommend hiring Christian as your lawyer.
