A Pleasure to Work With
I am a Director at a non-profit organization. We hired Esmond 6 months ago to help us with our collections process. He was very knowledgeable and yet humble. He exceeded our expectations.
"Esmond is a knowledgeable attorney that works hard for his clients and is a pleasure to work with."
"Esmond is a very conscientious and careful attorney who spends the right amount of time listening to his client's needs and researching the complex legal issues involved in order to come up with the best solution for his clients. He's also just a great all-around guy!"
"I endorse Esmond because he is a fantastic attorney. Esmond is very upfront with clientele. There are no surprises. His fees are very reasonable for an experienced attorney. He is very transparent with clientele, meaning, he always gives clients summations of all communications he has with attorneys, trustees and clients. I would recommend Esmond for potential clients who are looking for a great attorney, who is responsible and very organized, and his fees won't break the bank. His practice is doing very well and he will continue to do well because he listens to clients, keeps expectations realistic, and delivers quality work products."
"I worked with Esmond at a well-known general practice firm, where he developed a reputation as an excellent collections attorney. At the time, Esmond had worked there for over a year after earning his law degree from Suffolk University in Boston, Massachusetts. When he started his own practice in 2015, Esmond decided to help debtors seeks relief by using his knowledge of the collections process and to expand his practice into estate planning and probate. Esmond has the experience, knowledge and enthusiasm to obtain desires outcomes and provides his clients with excellent legal advice and services, particularly in the areas of estate planning, probate, bankruptcy and debt relief."

"It is easy to endorse Esmond Kim. Not only is he clearly knowledgeable but he has a creative mind which enables him to handle complex matters. I've gotten to know Esmond through monthly meetings in which attorneys collaborate with each other to be resources for each other. At these meetings I've seen him offer answers to complicated questions, I've seen him talk genuinely about helping his clients, and I've seen him eager to learn more and improve his already impressive legal skills. I am glad to have him as a resource and I happily endorse him."
"I have known Esmond for nearly two years. He and I have regularly interacted with one another as fellow attorneys in the community, including in monthly study group meetings. I have observed Esmond to be dedicated to his profession, competent in his understanding of the law, respectful of his clients, and committed to a thorough approach to all of his cases. Esmond is patient, conscientious, empathetic, an ethical and bright attorney, and an all-around good person."
"I endorse this lawyer. Esmond Kim is very knowledgeable about all areas of Bankruptcy. I referred a pair of clients who needed a bankruptcy and, needless to say, they were very pleased. Due to the success of my first referral to Esmond, I have been regularly referring clients for several years now! Esmond is a very trustworthy and reliable attorney who cares for his clients and always focused on getting great results!"
"I endorse this lawyer and refer bankruptcy matters to him without hesitation. Esmond is a compassionate attorney who exhibits a level of commitment to advocating for his clients that is exemplary in the legal field. I also consider Esmond a knowledgeable resource as a fellow attorney in estate planning matters."

"I endorse Esmond Kim. I previously worked with Esmond at both a small law firm in Minneapolis and at a legal services company, and Esmond is thorough with his research on each client matter, ethical and effective. I believe Esmond makes an excellent advocate for debtors seeking relief through bankruptcy and would not hesitate to refer potential bankruptcy clients to Esmond."
