Drew B.

I reached out to Richard for consultation regarding my car accident case. He responded promptly, listened to my concerns and the details of my situation, provided me with valuable information pertinent to my case, and clearly laid out my options going forward. Richard is very knowledgeable and professional, and I won’t hesitate to reach out to him again if I need legal assistance in the future. Thank you, Richard!!

Mary Y.

After I got rear ended, a friend recommended a Richard for my case. It wasn’t a huge accident but I called and immediately got a quick response directly from Richard. The accident was in 2/2020 and everything was settled (car repair, Health insurance bills paid, and extra settlement money) all completed by 10/2020. Even during a pandemic, they updated me on every movement or process during
The case. I’m not one to hire lawyers for accidents but I will definitely use Richard and his team again!

Apoorva K.

I’ve been Richard’s client since 2016 and I must say he’s the best at what he does.
He is very responsive and gets the work done quickly!
His fees are reasonable and the quality of the work is amazing.

Paul R.

I’m so glad I found Richard Kim Law Offices , I had a car accident back on 2020 and my previous attorney could not come to an agreement and conclusion with my insurance company and the 3rd party that hit me. It took them over 2 years to try to resolve my accident but with no results and all of a sudden they stopped calling me or returning my calls . I reached out to Law Offices of Richard Kim, spoke to Nathan about my stale case- and right away Richard called me, within months my case was closed and resolved. He was able to do what this other 2 law offices could not accomplish in 2 years. Thank you Richard Kim and your office staff !

Fantastic Attorney very helpful

Richard and his staff were there to help me through the entire process from beginning to end. Any time I wanted to talk to Richard he would take my call or return my calls within 24 hours. I had another lawyer for an accident I had 5 years ago and I never got to speak with the attorney after the initial consultation and only spoke with assistants who were not helpful and who would not keep me updated on my case. Richard and his staff would give me consistent updates and moved my case along quickly.

Johnny
Great Auto Accident Attorney

Richard was able to handle my auto accident case from the beginning to end. He even helped me get my car repaired and made sure I went to the right doctors to get my injuries treated. When it came to negotiate with the insurance company Richard was able to get me a great settlement.
