I had the pleasure of working with Attorney Kim and her team for assistance with a Power of Attorney and Deed Transfer for my elderly parents. From start to finish, they were incredibly professional, patient, and understanding, taking the time to explain every step of the process. Attorney Kim was especially knowledgeable, compassionate and provided a level of care that made a difficult situation much easier to navigate.
The office itself is very clean and conveniently located, next to Hanyang Mart, with parking in the front.
Overall, I truly appreciate their thoroughness and attention to detail, and I would highly recommend their services. The only regret that I have is not making an appointment with Attorney Kim sooner. I look forward to continuing to work with them in the future. Thank you so much!

We had an immigration case that appeared hopeless. Change of status denied, ordered to leave the country. We hired Liping Shi. Her and her staff have a level of attention to detail that is amazing! Communication was always fast, her office was very responsive. She filed a waiver and all other documents for change of status. It was a lot of work, a lot of documentation, and over a year of time, but the result was waiver approved and "green card" issued!! If you have an immigration case, Liping Shi is the right attorney to hire!!!

I was referred to Mr. Flatt by my physical therapist, Ksio Murdakhayev, for a workers’ compensation case.
I consider myself very fortunate to be Mr. Flatt’s client. He has represented me multiple times during the hearing process, demonstrating extensive knowledge and responsiveness. His advocacy on my behalf has been exceptional.
I highly recommend Mr. Flatt for anyone in need of a workers’ compensation lawyer.

Very pleasant experience while closing on a property as a seller without a realtor. Shearon really took the meaning of going “above and beyond” to a next level. When we were confronted with unexpected challenges from the seller, she expeditiously came up with solutions that would benefit us directly, making a “negative” into a “positive”.
Shearon, we could not have done it without you…
Thank You! for your professionalism and personal guidance…

My son was a client of Daniella Levi & Associates, P.C. following a car accident. Daniella and her team were incredibly personable, genuinely concerned about my son’s recovery, and committed to securing the maximum settlement for him. They kept us informed every step of the way, proactively addressing any potential issues. Needless to say, we were extremely pleased with the outcome.

I met Margurite at a time when my family members and many lawyers gave up on me and I gave up on myself. She instilled in me positive energy ,courage, power of hope , feelings of guidence . She reviewed my situation and determined the best course of action. With her knowledge , enthusiam, analytical skills ,courage ,creativity ,consistancy and reliability I got my green card in less than two years.
I have watched her worked deligently nights and days in order to reach deadlines She took time to explain to me each steps of my case and explain every findings of her research . She mastered the fundamental tools of oral and written communication and have an enviable ability to analyse and reduce complexities to their simplest form.
She is not only an excellent lawyer at heart but cares deeply and respects each client as an individual. With unalloyed confidence I recommend Margurite Cordice to you with utmost assurance that she will win your case
