Highly Recommended Lawyer

Over the course of my year long divorce process, I met with 3 different lawyers before finding Mr. Kim, whom I immediately retained to represent me. After my searching process, I learned no two lawyers are alike and the finding representation alone can be extremely intimidating not to mention defeati...ng. It can leave you feeling backed into a wall, frustrated, and without options. Especially when you are in the midst of a tumultuous time and always when children are involved. I felt very much at ease from the moment I spoke with Mr. Kim. He was personable, unintimidating to clients, flexible to my needs, engaged, communicative, indefatigable to my questions, constantly available, speedy in response, confident, Professional, detail oriented, caring, reassuring, and paid attention to my needs. He always related to me in ways that were understandable to me while still making me feel confident my case would be handled professionally and accurately. He also provided the legal advice i needed to keep my daughter and I feeling safe and secure the whole way through the process. With special focus on how my daughter was adapting to the continual changes. When my case changed courses, he adapted to those changes with me, deftly and easily. He communicated the new course of action and made me feel confident and empowered in my choices. As tiring, frustrating, and endless as divorce can be, I never felt I didn't have choices or someone who would fight for those choices. Not to mention the competent advice I needed to make those decisions. All of this does not even include his staff who are equally as wonderful. The staff he employs are professional and personable. He and his staff work seamlessly together so there is never a hiccup in communication. The staff were knowledgeable, well educated in processes, effective, communicative, personable, efficient, and fully engaged with my needs. Often, assisting in quelling my fears when new situations arose. Their job satisfaction seems high which also speaks volumes about the culture and working relationships within the practice that Mr. Kim cultivates. When all was said and done, my case was resolved in a way that I was comfortable and greatly satisfied with thanks to Mr. Kim and his staff. I'm extremely happy and relieved with the work that they have done. The confidence and reassurance they gave me through the entire process is irreplaceable. I would recommend Mr. Kim to my closest friends and family. I'll be forever grateful to him and his wonderful legal team for what they have done for me and my daughter.

John Kim was an excellent divorce attorney for my children and myself

Competent, courageous, and confident are words I would use to describe Mr. Kim. He represented me and my children in a somewhat messy divorce case. In the midst of what was an extremely difficult, emotionally charged process, Mr. Kim was a consistent island of support, encouragement, and guidance. ... His sage advice and trustworthy representation kept me from falling prey to what I came to understand are common pitfalls of an egregious divorce such as mine. His genuine concern for my children's well-being and safety coupled with his tireless efforts, translated into court orders that allowed my children to heal and grow forward in a healthy, hopeful manner. His no-nonsense approach and expert representation led to an excellent ultimate outcome. Amazingly and importantly, he managed to do this without unnecessarily alienating or antagonizing the other parties involved. This allowed for healing and movement towards a much healthier relationship between my children and ex-spouse. This was an important goal of mine from the beginning of the divorce process. John heard and understood this concern and worked diligently and expertly towards successfully respecting it while remaining a powerful advocate for my interests. Mr. Kim is a wonderful lawyer and a delightful person; he serves his clients with dignity, sincerity, and expertise.
