I highly recommend this practice for anyone in need in Anaheim.

Accident Attorneys who truly help people. I called and received a free consultation from Daniel, who was very helpful with my case. He actually told me that I didn't need a car accident lawyer and how I could follow up with the courts and simply fill out forms I could find online to assist with my ca...se. He also told me if I did in fact need a lawyer, to get counsel from a debit collection specialist first. I highly recommend this practice for anyone in need in Anaheim.

Words are not enough to express my gratitude. Thank you Mr. Kim for all your help.

Thank you Mr. Kim. Staff here were sympathetic and welcoming. They assisted me throughout my recovery all the way to the settlement. They were great in talking to debtors/bill collectors, so I was not constantly harassed. They even compiled all the debts I owed due to the accident and paid them off a...fter settlement. After all the hassle, and nearly a year later, the insurance company finally settled with me for considerably more than they offered right after the accident. Will continue to recommend Mr. Kim's law firm to all my friends.

"I have had the opportunity to work with Daniel on several personal injury matters. He is an exceptional human being that puts his client's interest first above all else. His ability to effectively communicate with his clients and maintain a consistent line of communication with them is such a relief. This is especially more important in a field where the number one complaint about attorneys is the lack of communication. Not true with Daniel!"

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.
