I have experience in trial and appellate practice in employment/labor and commercial cases.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Superb Attorney !

Robert is a great attorney, very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend him to family and friends. A couple of weeks ago, I found myself in an unfair situation at work which led me to seek guidance from Robert. From the first phone call, I knew I was in great hands. His response time was excellent. ...Thank you for helping me, I could not have done it without you.

Fantastic Attorney!

My case was tedious and complicated in an employment situation. Other Attorneys refused to take my case. They did not want to deal with how complicated my case was, and the length of time it took to get it done. Robert Kim is amazing in that he took my case which was very difficult, and paid close... attention to the never ending details of it. You will feel confident when Mr. Kim is on your side. He is a "go-getter" attorney, and I can't say enough about him. I highly recommend attorney Robert Kim.

Employment situation

Robert was there for me to help navigate a difficult employment situation. He is quite knowledgeable and experienced having dealt with King County Health Department as well as the Adult Corrections Department. You'll find that he, more often then not, will respond to your telephone call quickly. I... was going to go it alone but am so glad that I had Robert represent me; he was a far better advocate for me than I could ever have been for myself.

Help me in my time of need

From the first conversation we had, I knew I was in good hands. He's someone who will truly listen to your needs, and will mentor you through your darkest hour. He is a man of his word, always returning phone calls or messages and doing his homework. I wouldn't have made it if it wasn't for his suppo...rt and willingness to call it like it is. If you need someone to fight for you against any odds, than Bob is your man.
