Highly recommend

Kim came prepared with all the questions that I had listed in a document. She was very knowledgeable and I felt clearer about what my options were after the consultation. Would recommend to anyone with immigration questions!

Very professional, very dedicated!

Kim is the best lawyer I have ever dealt with! She was extremely knowledgeable and patient with me and my wife when trying to learn what we needed to do for our hearing. She explained everything so thoroughly, and I truly believe if it wasn’t for her, I would not have won my case. Thank you!

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.
