Excellent criminal defense attorney!!

Case results were unbelievable and Christian Kim went over and beyond my expectations getting my felony charge dismissed and no jail time.. He went over everything with me to assure I completely understood every detail. Very efficient and honest guy.

Trustworthy lawyer

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, b...ut 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 h...ire any more attorneys if I do he will be the first one I call.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
