What Our Clients Say

Ms. Young

More than just an attorney

Ms. Sammy Kim isn't just any attorney; she's an individual person who actually cares about making a difference in the lives of everyday people like me. She's direct, honest, and respectable. I am 82 years old and got quite sick during the pandemic, but my only son who has been living overseas could not come to visit me due to his back tax problems with the IRS. His passport could not be renewed because of the IRS tax issues.

Ms. Sammy Kim went over and beyond in arranging the necessary paperwork from overseas, continued to fight for my son before the IRS, and resolved his tax issues in a very efficient manner so my son could renew his passport to come to visit me in the States! I was so happy to hold my son in my arms after a decade.

Ms. Chung

Superb Tax Lawyer who deserves more than 5 stars

Our small business failed hard during the COVID-19 era. I can’t begin to tell you how much it has meant to me and my husband to have someone of Sammy Kim’s caliber in our corner. She has been my guiding light during one of the darkest periods in my life and I will always be thankful that I found her. She is a bright and experienced lawyer who is also caring and supportive.

When the IRS throws a curveball at us by rejecting our offer in compromise, Sammy stepped up and argued for an uncollectible status for me and my husband. We were able to save my home and we feel we can breathe now from the IRS collection action. If you are losing sleep over tax issues, go see Sammy.
