Julius Kim and Jonathan LaVoy

At our law firm, you’ll receive an honest assessment of your case and straight-forward answers to your questions. We believe that’s the only way people can make good decisions about their case and the only way to practice law. Creating false hopes or unrealistic expectations doesn’t serve anyone. If your case is better off being resolved through the plea negotiation process, we’ll tell you that. On the other hand, if there are legal challenges that can be raised or proof problems in your case, our attorneys are among the best in the state at putting the prosecution to their burden of proof and zealously litigating cases.
