It took me many phone calls to find an attorney who could handle my discrimination claim (or even…read moredo intake), and I'm so glad Steven picked up the phone. His empathy stood out immediately, and over the course the year it took to reach a resolution, his thoughtfulness and expertise stood out every time we interacted. Steven's genuine compassion for my situation was remarkable. He understood how painful it would be to go to court and was clear with me about the weaknesses in my case (simply due to lack of clear evidence, much as there was no question I'd been discriminated against). Thanks to his persistence and guidance, we reached a settlement.

Steven provided me with a thorough, quick, and empathetic free consultation. Highly recommend for…read moreanyone looking for an attorney pertaining to employee rights!

I am a mortgage loan officer and was referred to Gerard by my personal trust attorney. I was…read moreworking with a client who had a past bankruptcy and after her discharge she purchased a home. Once we opened escrow and pulled a title report we found a lien against her property that should not have been attached to her home. The person who filed the lien, was not to be swayed that she had no standing post bankruptcy....and she was holding us hostage, so to speak. My client's previous bankruptcy attorney was not immediately responsive and then wanted to charge $750 to write a simple letter. This is where Gerard steps in! He was kind and patient and generous with his time. After reviewing the timeline a few simple documents, he crafted an email that was compelling and ultimately the lien was released. Since we were right in the middle of our refinance, the matter was time sensitive. He acted quickly and professionally and I am very grateful for his help! He refused to charge us for his time...he conveyed to me that he became a bankruptcy attorney to "help people - real people". Thank you again Gerard for your generosity!!

If you are a small business being sued and you feel very strongly about not settling till the…read morehighest court can consider your appeal, this is a firm I can recommend.. A careful review of court online records or other databases would reveal that this firm has had some unusual documented success resolving disputes involving discrimination, ADA and other small business claims. Many of the cases appear to be sole proprietor insurance agents or underdog minority owned businesses that had better results than others who were similarly situated at the time. Questions I would ask are how many similar cases have you handled and what are the toughest adversaries have you ever had to take on. If you have a puzzlingly hard legal problem, then I would recommend calling upon this firm which has a reputation for not settling. If you believe in your principles and are tired of settling just because it would be cheaper, this type of consultation is worth having. On the other hand if you want a reputation as someone willing to spend all the way to highest appellate level for principle sake, this is an option.

I'm extremely satisfied with the service provided by Brian Kim and the staff of BKK!…read more Several years ago I became very ill with a very strange series of symptoms.  Didn't mean that I wasn't sick, but it gave the insurance company just enough of an opening that they thought that they could get away with not having to pay on the policy.  I interviewed and hired Brian Kim early in my illness when the insurance company fought paying the short term disability policy.  It took a bit but Brian was able to help me resolve the matter.  Unfortunately, Prudential decided that it would be good sport to continue to mess with the sick guy and his family and not pay LTD benefits.  As I have gotten to know Brian, I'm so favorably impressed with his work ethic and his follow through.  When you call, he either answers or calls back in relativly short order.  He is thorough and thoughtful in his preparation and does his best to resolve issues in our favor before litigation is needed.  Brian has been on top of communications management, intercepting and either correcting, answering or denying requests and/or assertions by the insurance company.  In doing so, he has protected me from myself, especially when I am undergoing medical treatment that can leave me mentally vulnerable. Bottom line, Brian has had my back the entire time. And, while I'd never wish having to go through this on anyone, having Brian in your corner makes it a bit easier.  Brian was brilliant in arranging my LTD coverage and cementing the life insurance policy I was promised as part of my employment agreement.  Part of what makes Brian so effective is the fantastic staff at BKK.  All of the folks in the office will do whatever it takes to make certain that your message gets through, your letter gets sent or your documents are filed.  Conscientious and supportive, the BKK staff are the perfect complement to Brian's practice in that they make me feel as though I am the only client that they have to worry about. Very unusual for a law practice.  Thank you Brian and everyone at BKK. I cannot express succinctly how much we appreciate the job you have done for us in smoothing the road we must now travel. All the best.

He said he had some ideas on how to handle the case and together we planned a day and time for a conference call with myself and my relative who is also involved. When we logged onto the conference call we were alone.. Jim was not there. We tried calling and emailing but he never got on the call. He later apologized over email for missing the call and suggested we plan another conference call the following week. I gave him a my availability for the next week and then he did not respond. I kept emailing him and called him and he never responded again.. he ghosted me.
