i had Jae assist with the transfer of a deed for a timeshare from me to my son. He was fast friendly and attentive. A transaction that could have taken months for a firm because it would have been a low priority he handled in 24 hrs! Thank you for great service and a sucessful 2026 read more

Jae is unprofessional, not trustworthy, he billed me three months after dropping the ball on my lawsuit and not showing up in court. I had to explain to the Judge that my attorney has abandon me and I was not aware why he was not in court. Jae harassed me and my family for money - I just had to spend 4 months gathering documents from 11 years ago to file a Bar complaint. Filing bankruptcy and losing my home because of his neglect.

I was referred to Mr. Kim by my legal insurance plan. I'd never used the service before so I had no idea what to expect, and after speaking with Jae, I'm so glad I did! I came back from vacation to extensive water damage in my rental unit - the condo owner and property management company were slow to remediate the issue so I needed out of my lease. Jae sent the property management company a letter on my behalf which was so effective they immediately settled. I'm very grateful for the time he took to understand my situation and talk through the process. He has extensive knowledge of tenant law and was very responsive! I appreciate the work he did on this case and would recommend him if you are ever in a similar situation. read more

Jae is responsive, personable, direct, highly experienced. I sought his counsel for a property dispute and his guidance led to an amicable resolution for both parties. Amazing to work with and highly recommend. read more

I found Mr. Kim on Yelp. After reading his reviews, I believed that he was the lawyer I needed. After we done my case today, I am very satisfied with the results, so I think I need to write a review about his help with my real estate dispute, and hope it might be helpful for others who need a good lawyer. Mr. Kim is a great lawyer, and appreciate his exceptional service!!! He skillfully helped me through a real estate dispute over not disclosing a property defect. Without his help, I don't think I could get back what I lost in a property investment. I strongly recommend Jae if you need a great lawyer. 感谢Mr Kim帮我挽回了我的房屋买卖的损失。联系Mr Kim之前，我也找了其他的华人律师，但是他们和我面谈的兴趣都没有，估计嫌弃案子太小了； 但是Mr Kim当天就约我面谈，查阅资料，并帮我分析制定策略。最终，Mr. Kim 成功帮我挽回了损失。 read more

I have had the good fortune of working with Jae Kim on a number of complex and personally impactful legal issues. Jae was the consummate professional, communicated effectively, and was on top of the issues to completion. I consider Jae our family attorney and always trust his judgement on a variety of matters. read more

I reached out to Attorney Jae Kim regarding issues I was having with a property manager. I am a tenant and once I explained everything to Jae he asked me to forward him documents needed to assist me and I did and he jumped right on it. I was very pleased with with how fast he jumped right in. He was professional, knowledgeable and personable. I would highly recommend Jae and I would definitely use him in the future if needed. I found Jae on the Met Life legal plan website which I have through my employer. Thank you Jae! read more

Disclaimer: I hired Mr. Kim through my legal insurance, so I didn't pay him anything directly. I don't know how much it would have cost me compared to what I received, but it is hard to put a price tag on Justice anyway. Background: The dealership that sold me my car said it was "new" and promised that it would receive a clean air vehicle rebate from the state of California, even though it had been used as a dealer service vehicle. The state denied my rebate, and I tried to handle it with the dealership. The dealership did not work with me to fix this, they were nearly non-responsive and moved too slowly. I hired Jae to receive advice about this situation and see how I could get my money. We spoke over the phone and I sent Jae my documents (contract of sale etc.). He agreed that I had a case. Jae wrote a letter to the dealership and a few weeks later a check arrived in the mail, from the dealership, in the amount of the rebate. Jae won my case for me without having to go to court, and I got justice. I really appreciate his help. My legal insurance covered all the costs for Jae. read more

Happy to recommend! I am so glad that my husband researched different real estate lawyers and found Jae Kim. Without getting into details, we were facing an urgent, time sensitive situation involving property rights and needed someone who would offer timely, responsive, personalized service and really have our back, not hide behind a desk or offer cookie cutter solutions. Jae was INCREDIBLY responsive, quick thinking, compassionate and knowledgeable. He was able to help us get what we needed quickly and painlessly, problem solved, without having to go through the costly court system. He asks the right questions, listens well and was able to track and understand a complicated situation like ours that involved cultural/human factors, and do so with ease. He was incredibly proactive about communication, conscientiously making sure that we were all on the same page as the situation unfolded. He went above and beyond the call of duty to help me understand and think through various options and decide on additional next steps. We paid out of pocket, not through a service, and Mr. Kim's services were worth every penny, many times over. I subsequently recommended Mr. Kim to an individual on an online neighborhood forum who was looking for assistance in a time sensitive situation. The individual wrote back to me saying that Mr. Kim had been very helpful and informative, and I was delighted to hear that they had had a positive experience, as well. read more

This attorney will not help you unless it's a big enough case worth his time. I called him seeking representation and he basically told me that what I am seeking is too low for him and he wanted to charge me $100 for a consultation. Only the bad and unethical lawyers charge upfront. Avoid JHK if you want to win read more

I discovered earlier this year that I was overcharged by my dental office for a dental procedure I had done. I sent emails and made countless phone calls to the office manager in an effort to get reimbursed. The dental office gave me the runaround for 7 months. After my first phone call with Mr. Kim, things went into motion quickly. I sent him my supporting documents and receipts the following morning. Mr. Kim had a letter prepared and sent out to the dental office that same day. I received a check in the mail for the full amount of my refund 30 days later. Mr. Kim was quick to respond whenever I had questions, and he moved the process along very quickly. I'm extremely satisfied with the service Mr. Kim provided. I highly recommend him. read more

I've reached out to Jae twice using my prepaid legal plan and in both cases, he provided great advice. With the most recent issue, I had some deficiencies with a Tesla I just bought and Tesla did not want to fix those deficiencies. Jay advised me through some next steps. Just following his advice, I was able to get Tesla to fix all of the deficiencies without any further issues. read more

We moved into a new apartment which we thought was fine until we started seeing roaches and having maintenance issues that weren't being addressed and we wanted out ASAP. Lost, scared, and not sure what to do, I called many lawyers but no one wanted to help. Luckily, I found Jae and gave him a call. Right away, he asked questions about the situation and told me he was going to call the management company. The very same day, the management company called us after they spoke with Jae and let us terminate the lease early while letting us keep our deposit! Then, when the management company tried to deduct a cancellation fee from our deposit, we of course called Jae and he sent them a letter the same day and we received the rest of our deposit the next week. We are now happily moved out and couldn't be happier with Jae's services and responsiveness! To anyone who is in a similar situation, I would highly recommend JHK Law if you are tenant and you don't know who else to go to!! read more

Jae Kim is very responsive on his email. and always update us in every step of the way. He knows the law and will tell you your rights and will represent you against big box company that often takes advantage of their customers. read more

Jae was extremely helpful, responsive and an overall awesome lawyer! We reached out to him regarding an issue with our new car purchase and Jae was able to answer all of our questions, address our concerns and reach out to the dealership we purchased the vehicle from. We had everything settled within about 3 weeks! We would highly recommend Jae to anyone looking for an awesome attorney! read more

This law group was referred to me by my employer. I am renting a loft in DTLA and the landlord sent me a lease renewal package with a 50% rent increase. After our consultation which was thorough and professional Jae was confident that he would be able to do something for my family. Less then 1 week later our landlord sent us a new lease renewal package with no increase at all. Jae is a true professional and helped my family with a sense of urgency you can expect from someone representing you. I highly recommend him for any of your legal needs. read more

Poor communication. I originally needed Jae to write some demand letters for me. When I followed up he said he couldn't do those even though we had discussed a couple of times. Okay, so I had some additional work for him such as writing a letter to a vendor, and reviewing a contract. Tons of back and forth where I was trying to understand if Jae had what he needed to do the job. The communication was "the letter in pdf was crinkled." Ok, can you enlarge and still read it? Do you need me to resend? It was like pulling teeth to get answers. It felt like working with me was an inconvenience for this guy, and the amount of work I had to do is not what I'm looking for in an attorney. I guess he didn't need me as a client because when I asked when he can get those things done, and confirm he had what he needed since I wasn't clear he gave me time frames, and said I can go with someone else if those don't work. I opted to not work with Jae. read more

I highly recommend Jae and his team. He helped me greatly in getting out of a financial burden. He walked me through the process and represented my best interest the whole time. The results were better than I thought they would be:! read more

I was unfortunate to have had neighbors that were excessively loud and a negligent management company that denied the blatant abuse for 6 months. I was tired of it. I contacted Jae, and within a month the management company caved and ended our lease early with all fees waived. Before this we were hopeless. I am incredibly grateful for Jae's representation and would recommend him to any tenants that have been wronged by their management read more

This Attorney should not be practicing law... Jae Kim dies not communicate well with his clients he sells the cases short and is NOT a litigator, has no backbone week in court and worse in deposition.. Jae does not honor Doctors liens and leaves the clients with the bills.. Jae Kim took 5 times to pass the State BAR and his negotiating skills are the worst I have seen in 25 years working in claims. read more

I had the pleasure of retaining JHK for two legal disputes last year against corporate giants Apple and Verizon for compensatory damages. We conducted business only through the phone as I was uninterested in visiting. It seemed like Jae really fought for me, protectively and completely advising me on matters and arguing on the phone with the companies. One moment that still stands out today for me is when he let me speak to the corporate contact (who refused to speak with me prior for apparent legal reasons) while he listened, and towards the end he attentively and discontentedly interrupted the speaker to note a flaw in her argument. I was interested in intellectual property and other legal subjects as a tangent, and he was more than willing to connect me to other lawyers specialized in those areas. Despite the seemingly little pay that he receives through my Hyatt Legal Plan, he went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied. I try to keep my ratings balanced at 3 stars, but it's a pleasure to finally review his 5-star legal services. read more

I hired Jae after reviewing Yelp review (and recommended by my company). Jae was immediately responsive, from my first interaction. His approach was thoughtful, thorough, and meticulous. More importantly, Jae is always connected, even responding to my e-mails on a Sunday, within 15 minutes! For a person like me (who works 24/7), this is huge! Jae took immediate action to handle my issue and delivered results that was over the top. I cannot be happier with the outcome. The final resolution is agreed and pending but the outcome has a 100% probability of success at this point, and therefore, I wanted to write this note as a fact-based complement. Thank you for your service Jae and I will be reaching out to you for our estate planning work. read more

Do not work with Jae Kim. He will be attentive and take your first call and drop the ball completely. I reached out to him a week later and he acknowledged that he just wasted my time and I should seek another attorney. That was quoted by him. Take your business elsewhere ! read more

Jae was attentive to our needs and responded to emails promptly. The lawsuit was settled to our satisfaction. He kept us posted promptly whenever he received correspondence from the opposing party. Thank you Jae. read more

I just had a meeting with Jae and am so happy with the service!!! he took his time to answer all my questions and never made me feel rushed.... great to know i have an attorney i can trust!! Thanks Jae!!! read more

In Henry VI part 2, Shakespeare writes "let's kill the lawyers." I have had to speak with several lawyers for a situation I was in and Jae was the only one that didn't make me feel the way Shakespeare felt. . He's very sincere, helpful and patient. I recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney with a beating, compassionate heart (at least to his clients). He was very helpful. Offered sound advice and even a poignant pep talk. I am very appreciative. read more

While I only hired Jae to write a cease and desist letter, Jae spent hours of his own time off the clock answering my questions. With his help we were able to expose my two building managers taking advantage of my elderly landlord. Without Jae's help, my roommates, my landlord, and I would never have known how bad these two con men were, and they would have continued collecting money from unsuspecting victims. Thanks Jae, for all your help! read more

I had an excellent experience with this attorney. I was being sued unjustly by my landlord and didn't know what to do as I have never been involved with the court system. My employer referred me to Mr. Kim with a great review, so I decided to have him represent me. He was very polite, intelligent, and an unwavering defender. It was very easy to contact him when I had any questions which was very important to me, I felt as if he was a friend. After I gave him the rundown on my situation he got to work, and about a week later I got a phone call from Mr. Kim saying that the landlord dropped the case! Mr. Kim prepared an awesome response to the summons and contacted the landlord by phone to which he did not want to pursue the case anymore. Would I suggest him as an attorney? Absolutely. Thank you Mr. Kim for a job well-done. read more

Jae is the consummate professional. Incredibly thorough, candid, honest, knowledgable and trustworthy. Very responsive and easily accessible. I am very pleased with the results of a recent consumer complaint case. We had a late model vehicle that was outside of the legal lemon law timing (more than 18 months old) that was continuously and randomly stalling in the middle of operation, nearly causing an accident. Car was back to the dealer 3 times over 4 months. Each time the dealer claimed to have found the problem and repaired it. We documented each occurrence and the time, expense (not the mention the heartache) we incurred and consulted with Jae. Jae took up the case and helped us in going right to the management of the car company, offering to settle or take them to court. I am not sure of what kind of secret sauce Jae used, but the company was incredibly responsive and settled -- all over the course of only a few weeks. I had talked to a few other law firms that were obviously larger and had more bureaucracy to go through, including vetting process. I was impressed by how nimble, efficient, responsive and how accessible Jae is. I would highly recommend him to anyone. read more

I had an excellent experience with Jae at JHK Law Group. Jae is a true professional who took the time to learn about my case. He is a great attorney who knows how to get results. The results of our case could not have been better. We had bought a Focus from the worst dealership who sold us a junk car and then proceeded to deny any responsibility for selling us an unsafe car or taking the necessary steps to fix it. After a month of battling with the dealership and their inept management, we turned to Jae to help us. Within a few weeks we had the best of results and had the dealership void the sale (almost unheard of for a dealership to do) and refund us the money in its entirety. Jae was very polite, direct and to the point with us which we really liked. He was also very responsive and easily accessible to us. We will definitely use his services again and we recommend him to anyone who is looking to get some justice. Thank you so much Jae !! You brought my family and I peace of mind and justice. We will definitely do our best to recommend you to friends who may need legal representation. read more

We have been privileged to work with JHK Law Group for several years. We have been represented extremely professionally by Jae, and are very happy with the experience and with the results. Jae is responsible, competent, and follows the letter of the law in everything ranging from strategy to procedure. He represented us in court multiple times (and I was there to witness his representation every single time), and drafted well-thought-out documents that benefited us greatly. I highly recommend Jae as an attorney who is honest, works in integrity, and gets the job done. read more

Jae, was great in helping us win our case. He was a Beacon of Hope for us. He believes in you and is on your side and that's what we all need a person to fight for us. JHK law group I want to thank you for all your hardwork because of you I can sleep again. read more

Jae really helped me with my defamation case. The turn around time to get it resolved was fast and he is very knowledgeable of the law. I would gladly recommend him to family and friends! read more

Really top notch. My wife and I were recommended Mr. Kim by the Los Angeles Bar Association, and he was fantastic for us. He helped represent us in a real estate mediation, and he handled it all expertly towards a settlement that we were very happy with. He was easy to contact whenever we had questions and made a stressful situation much less so by carefully explaining the process as the mediation progressed. He always discussed our situation honestly and let us know what expectations were realistic with regards to the mediation outcome (and he was right). Even though he charged us a rather humble fee compared to several other lawyers we contacted, we always felt like valued clients. He even helped us process the settlement by personally delivering the checks to the bank. Reliable. Affordable. Trustworthy. Honest. Experienced. A true advocate. While I hope to never need his services again, I would not hesitate one second to hire him again should the need arise. My wife and I really feel that he was the best decision we made for our mediation. read more
