Sammy Kim, Tax Attorney & here legal assistant, Anna, were extremely responsive, knowledgeable and were able to walk me through a complex set of Tax, bank and even work-related issues. Everything was done rapidly and thoroughly to resolution. I don’t spend a lot of time writing reviews, but I felt compelled in this situation. I had no idea how complex my case was going to be. Sammy Kim took the time to understand the details, laid out a plan and did a great job helping make sure I navigated through complex legal and financial challenges. Her office’s Korean knowledge helped me with issues that had potential US and Korean tax implications. Not only did they help me with the case, but Sammy and Anna also took the time to help me with advice in areas that went beyond the immediate case to make sure things went as smoothly as possible. My brother is a lawyer so I have some visibility into what the day in a life of a lawyer and how busy they can get, so this level of service is rare. There’s no one else I would go to, especially if it spans US and international tax law.

After fighting the IRS for over a decade with several lawyers to no avail, I finally made the right move and hired Sammy. She listens, she is articulate in her answeres and knows the nuances of dealing with the IRS. If you have tax and IRS problems, Sammy is the one to turn to. She is very good at what she does.

When I contacted Ggoch Saem Sagong Kim for my tax concerns, she responded same day and gave me clear answer what to do. She explained line by line with patient. Many Thanks, Sammy Kim.

After putting my head in the sand for several years, I finally wanted to handle my tax matters and contacted Tax Attorney Sammy Kim. She has been writing insightful tax columns in the newspaper and I have been reading her tax articles for quite some time. She solved my biggest concern over the cancellation of debt income and advised on how to handle the unfiled tax return matters step-by-step in detail. I had almost given up on my tax issues but now I have hope! She also discussed a cost benefit analysis in terms of the most sensible way to solve my tax issues without charging me. Thanks, Ms. Kim for your honesty and common sense approach. Plus she is perfect bilingual Korean & English. Thank a lot ❤️

Ms. Sammy Kim was our attorney for a complicated matter with the IRS that arose from reporting errors from another party. After numerous attempts to resolve the matter on our own, we went to the Sodowsky Law Firm and had a great meeting with Ms. Kim. She provided us with a clear path forward and took away all the anxiety from dealing with the issue ourselves. Ms. Kim delivered and our matter was resolved perfectly. The whole team was wonderful, professional in conduct, and responsive.

Ms. Sammy Kim was our lawyer for an issue with the IRS that was dragging on and was due to errors from another party in a transaction. After multiple attempts to resolve the matter on our own, we went to the Sodowsky Law Firm and were connected with Ms. Kim. She provided us with a clear plan and took away all the stress of dealing with the issue on our own. Ms. Kim worked our case to a fantastic resolution. The whole team was professional, responsive, and great to work with.

In my first meeting with Sammy, I quickly saw that she fully understood my issues, and was fully capable of resolving them. Nevertheless, she did not come off as arrogant or dismissive. Instead, she interacted genuinely as we discussed details, strategies and approaches. I feel assured that working with Sammy and her team will result in an excellent outcome.

I encourage anyone that has tax problems to go to Ms. Kim. Please don't allowed your fear of the IRS keep you from taking decisive steps in eradicating your tax debt. Ms. Kim is a professional tax attorney that is knowledgable of the ever changing tax laws and how the IRS operates. She has a proven record of success and can walk you through the process of getting a favorable resolution. You may be sinking under the weight of insurmountable tax debt now, but from my experience, I know that Ms. Kim can help you. My life was completely overwhelmed by a growing State tax bill and a Federal tax debt of over $130,000. I had gone through a divorce after 27 years of marriage, had years of unpaid taxes, was trying to keep a small business running while providing care for my aging father. I was unable to sleep at night and dreaded going to the mailbox. In addition to official IRS tax lien and levy letters, I was getting solicitation notices daily from predatory tax resolution scammers once my tax liens became public record. Although I had a desire to pay my taxes and wanted to get caught up, my business and personal finances decreased leaving no resources to do so. Yet in the background, my tax liability was growing and now at a critical stage that could no longer be ignored. I had previously sought the help of a nationally recognized tax resolution company. However, they began using fear-based tactics of what the IRS could do to me as a way of trying to get more money from me. The money I spent with them I counted it as a loss and once again, began my search for someone that could help me with my tax woes (without any fear-mongering). Thankfully a friend recommended Ms. Kim to me. When I came to Ms. Kim, I was ashamed that I had allowed my tax debt (and life) to spin out of control. At my initial consultation she assured me that my tax problems weren't insurmountable and that they could be resolved with her help. She laid out a clear, strategic, and intentional action plan of how she would work on my behalf. Her compassion, empathy and professionalism immediately calmed my fears and infused me with hope. I hired Ms. Kim and she immediately went to work after receiving requested documents from me. My words can never fully describe the amazing feeling of hope that I had when I left her office. To know that someone was now working hard on my behalf gave me a mental peace that I hadn't experienced in years. Ms. Kim is great at communicating where she is in the process of resolving your tax problems with the IRS and State officials. If she needs something from you, she will contact you in a timely manner and keep you informed at each step in the process. Ms. Kim's was able to get my Federal tax bill reduced from $130,000 down to $7,000 and I was able to get me a manageable monthly payment agreement with the State. I can't thank Ms. Kim enough for helping me. I can breathe again and my future is bright. Going forward I will stay current on my taxes so that I never find myself in this situation again. Thank you so much Ms. Kim!

I had a bad tax debt situation with IRS more than 10 years. I came to Ms. Kim for help and the office did very good, professional work to help me to settle my debt with IRS. My debt is about $383K was settle for less than $3K. Huge saving for me. I am so happy that now I can reclaim my life after so many years with my IRS problem. She is very thorough, and helpful through my case.

She is a very kind and smart tax lawyer. I hired her 2018. She solved a very complicated tax problem perfectly.

Reached out to Ggoch Kim regarding previous years of unified taxes. Went through a divorce and had a hard time keeping finances straight after court battles and a few other mishaps. Ggoch Kim and staff made me feel very welcomed right from the beginning. Within a short time, all financials were organized, filed and resolutions agreed. Fees were reasonable, staff 5 star professionals. Wouldn’t hesitate to refer in a heart beat...

My husband & I were audited for the 2015 & 2016 tax years. They were claiming we owed upwards of $150K! As you can imagine we were extremely stressed out. We met with Ms. Kim for a consultation and she walked us through the process. She let us know what to expect and was honest about expectations. We hired her that day and were just informed the IRS owes us apx. a $5K credit. She exceeded our expectations and are extremely pleased! I appreciate her and highly recommend her!
