Ms. Kim has been helping my husband and I create our wills. Estate planning is such a difficult business as is that it is nice to have someone explain the process in a way that we can understand. It has been an eye opener on what goes into planning who will take care of our children after we pass on, trusts to protect our assets, advanced directives on health... But she has been very good at explaining everything clearly to us. It's been a pleasure to work with her. read more

I have never met a lawyer so truly passionate about what she does.

Kim will always take the time out to answer any questions her clients have and to make sure things are done correctly. Kim is a trustworthy, amazing lawyer, and I can't say enough about her! read more

Kim is excellent in estate planning law. She touches on sensitive subjects with grace, and is very easy to talk to. She is very personable, and understands what I go through as a mother. She is extremely flexible for meeting, and has very reasonable prices. She's very clear on what I'm supposed to do, and follows up to make sure I'm doing everything in my own (and children's) best interest. I'm not dead yet so I don't know how it will all turn out, but I trust it will all go over well! ;) read more

My partner & I had Kim redo our trusts - she did an excellent job going through the existing trusts and creating solutions to our needs. Kim was very patient in explaining all the 'legalese' so it made sense. I will highly recommend her. read more

I have worked with Hee Sun Kim ("Kim") three times during the past two years. She created a living trust for me and my husband after we were married and has assisted me with the administration of two trusts for which I was a trustee (one of which is current). My husband and I appreciate how Kim listens carefully before responding with useful advice. And she works efficiently: For my recent trust administration, she covered a surprising number of tasks during our initial meeting. As a trustee, it is comforting and valuable to have her professional guidance. read more

Her care in drafting documents, attention to detail and her patience when working with us made the process an enjoyable one. read more

Kim was very knowledgeable in trusts and estate planning and took the time to carefully explain the entire process to us along with giving us even more time to ask our questions. She even met up with us at my brother-in-law's home in Dublin in a very comfortable and relaxed setting.

She was very thorough and made sure we'd understood everything! Entire process was amazingly smooth and painless to get done! My wife and I HIGHLY recommend her if you need to have a trust, Living Will done! read more

You couldn't trust you plan to more competent and compassionate counsel. read more

I am the father of two children. I've heard that in California you have to go to court if someone becomes incapacitated or dies and there is no estate plan set up. I met with Hee Sun Kim (Kim) about what I should do for my family. I could tell quite easily from our discussions that Kim is very passionate and knowledgeable about estate planning law. She provides both hourly and flat rate fee arrangements, and is willing to travel for those with mobility issues who wish to avoid having to come into the city. Highly recommended. read more

She may run her own law firm, but this is after many years of working with bigger law firms that specialize in immigration matters, foreign assets, LGBT issues and sophisticated taxable estates or family structures.

That she is not as old is an advantage because you know it is likely she will be around to help your children when they need to take over. read more

We utilized Hee Sun Kim to create a trust for my mom and dad. Unfortunately my dad was in the hospital at the time, so Kim came and sat down with my mom and dad on numerous occasions in the hospital room and got the work done in time. Let me tell you, that was amazing customer service! In addition, the quality of her product - the trust, wills, power of attorneys, and other legal documents - were top notch, and Kim has repeatedly and patiently explained them to us so that it is understandable. I was so pleased with Kim's work with my mom and dad that I have also had her create a trust for my wife and I. Again she has provided excellent service, an excellent product, and she has deep knowledge and resources regarding the technical issues related to trust design and writing. I will always use Hee Sun Kim for my trust work and can recommend her to you withourt reservation. Five Stars! read more

She is and will be our attorney for a long time. read more
